(Washington DC)—Judicial Watch announced today that it has received new documents from both the Secret Service and the Air Force relating to Obama travel expenses, bringing the known total over the past eight years to $96,938,882.51. The reports contain information regarding Obama’s Earth Day trip to the Florida Everglades, a political fundraising trip to San Diego, Michelle Obama’s annual Aspen ski trip, her trip to Morocco, a family vacation in Martha’s Vineyard, as well as Hillary’s ride with Obama on Air Force One to North Carolina.
Judicial Watch filed two separate Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuits for Secret Service costs related to Obama travel ( Judicial Watch v. U.S. Department of Homeland Security (No. 1:15-cv-01983)) and ( Judicial Watch v. U.S. Department of Homeland Security (No. 1:16-cv-00863)). The Secret Service is a component of the Department of Homeland Security.
Also, in October 2016 Michele Obama joined Hillary Clinton in North Carolina for a rally reportedly to “encourage early voting in North Carolina.” Documents regarding this trip have been requested but have not yet been received. The First Lady typically flies in a C-32A so the 1.8 hour flight can safely be estimated to have cost taxpayers $28,522.80.
“The Obamas notorious abuse of presidential travel perks wasted military resources and stressed the Secret Service. Judicial Watch estimates that the final costs of Obama’s unnecessary vacation and political travel will well exceed $100 million,” said Judicial Watch president Tom Fitton. “President-elect Trump can immediately save taxpayers money by reforming presidential travel.”
As Trump says, forget about this..its time to move on!
thank God!
Perfect $1Mil per month. I like that about Obama.
But but but, You’re wrong! Bush took way more vacations than Obama! And he spent more, too!
signed, your friendly lefty Obama apologist.
This comes to an awful lot of money, just to keep the man-child that is the Current Occupant somewhat pacified and more importantly, out of the Oval Office, where it seems he performs much greater mischief.
While he is away from the White Hut, he is more easily distracted and does not focus nearly as much on the primary objective, which was to destabilize various parts of the world, including that territory once known as “the United States of America”.
At no time did the media present this as a sick waste of taxpayer money. After all, the bammys had it coming to them because of slavery.
The moment Trump becomes president, the media is going to be hypocritically wailing over his every move, including the cost of his vacations.
Off the Wall Ping!

Taxpayers Spent $1.4 Billion on Obama Family Last Year
“Taxpayers spent $1.4 billion dollars on everything from staffing, housing, flying and entertaining President Obama and his family last year, according to the author of a new book on taxpayer-funded presidential perks.”

That was for 1 year alone- before he is out of office, he and his family will have had over $12 BILLION dollars spent on their personal pleasures-
As recently as Harry Truman, presidents were expected to pay for their own vacations.
Truman had to drive himself back to Missouri after Eisenhower was inaugurated.
Did the 0bama’s ever vacation at their Chicago compound?
How about Camp David?
I doubt if the 0bama’s have even been to Chicago in 8 years and don’t know about Camp David, neither is high class enough for either.
The nappy haired bastard wants a bigger pension besides? He has stolen all he should be allowed. Wish U.S. flys Air Force One home from Hawaii without him and his blood sucking family......Talk about living high on the hog.
Consider how many hungry children that would feed and how many poor children could be clothed with that amount of money.

That guy.... thanks Laz.
That’s the guy!
Bill him for every vacation that wasn’t to Camp David or one other location.
They could care less. No telling what has been stolen and hid for them when the time comes, I look forward to all the trash that comes out on these pukes.
yOU HAVE A VERY REALISTIC PERSPECTIVE.
Great post.
If a person elected to the Presidency was a thief and that person had an army of lawyers and other co-conspirators at his beck and call, where on this planet would he have hidden BILLIONS of dollars of American cash?
Eight years is a long time for a busy thief. Where all might he hide billions and billions of dollars?
Find those pots of gold and I will be impressed. Freeze it, seize it, return it to it’s rightful owners. Then, get on with the legal business of bringing that person(s) to justice, publicly, and at the end of a rope.
Amen...0bama owes the citizens of our country much more than the return of his stolen gains for justice, a minimum life sentence at the very least would be appropriate.
Yep, that’s him
