On one Hawaii vacation, Bo, their Portugese Water Dog, was assigned his own OSPREY TILT-ROTOR..!
Real ass right until the end. Key words: THE END!

Money is NO object..!
Woof.
8 years of him and family have cost taxpayers over $12 BILLION dollars- Yes you heard that right- He an his family spend over $1.5 BILLION dollars on themselves every year-
Vacation? Wuzzat? I’m not personally familiar with this concept you speak of....
There needs to be a full criminal enquiry into the treason, criminality and wasted taxpayers money of the Obama administration.
People need to go to jail over this
I’d have gladly paid tens times that if he’d have strayed on vacation all the time.
Defund presidential vacations.
Ah but we *know* he’s pissed away $85 million goofing off, thus... “ transparency”!
GMTA
how about the trillions lost in 8 years as p resident?
I understand why 0bama wasted our money on his family vacations. What I don’t understand is why congress appropriated the money.
Nine posts into the thread and somebody has the answer. The next question is whether Congress has gonads to do what’s necessary. Unlikely, since they can’t accomplish a true budget, just continuing resolutions.
those are wishballs.
Obama keeps them near because he constantly likes to see them and wish he had big balls
Hillary as FLOTUS was a statistical flyer at FOUR full-time staff.
Michelle Obama has TWENTY SIX..!
Why is she allowed to get away with it? Why indeed have almost NONE of us heard any coverage of that?
Cuz NO ONE in DC wants to go up to the first black FLOTUS in US history --particularly any honky-- and say ANYTHING that sounds like, "Hey, ya know, historically you people work for US, and not the other way around..."
I mean that's just horrifying, right?
Theoretically she could have 1,000 slaves and there wouldn't be a single peep, I'd wager.
Oh PUHLEEZE!!!!! They cost TRIPLE or MORE than that!!! That is a JOKE!!!!!
You mean OUR money is no object, right?
Talk about waste of taxpayers’ money....all of us peons have to pay for our vacations. Why should well-paid presidents get paid vacations? Pres Trump is foregoing his salary, which is a first in our nation’s history, and the way he’s been working, he probably won’t take many days off.
