Over eight years, not eighteen months. And I'd bet all 77 trips together cost less than this "party for 40" that MarieAntoinetteMaBelle's on.
What a canard. The Crawford ranch was set up to allow Bush to do the nation's business while he was there.
Running all over the world requires a hell of a lot of advance planning and staff, going to your ranch is just that, going to the ranch
The obamas are like lottery winners with out one once of sense or forethought.
Rooms at Crawford Ranch are $300 a night?
George W. Bush made 77 visits to his ranch in Crawford
Over eight years, not eighteen months. And I’d bet all 77 trips together cost less than this “party for 40” that MarieAntoinetteMaBelle’s on.
George furnished quarters for the Secret Service, personally prepared BBQ’s for his guards and staying in his own home, and with his wife present, didn’t charge the government any funds for occupying his own quarters.
Can the Clinton’s or Obama’s say that? I didn’t think so

Crawford ranch is Bush’s personal property - he was not renting luxury rooms — he’d go there and stay awhile, and the place was rigged up with whatever he’d need for WORK, i.e., the Texas White House.
When Bush family went to Maine, again that was utilizing family property.
If Zero and FLOTUS want to vacation in Chicago, in their personal house, that would be fine with me. The rest of this gallivanting around the world is ridiculous and expensive. It’s just so unseemly given the mess we are in; of course, much of that is due to Zero and his buddies so I guess it makes sense!
Besides Air Force One, each trip required multiple Cargo Aircraft (C-17) to carry the Secret Service vehicles.
It was neither free nor cheap.
Let’s compare apples and apples...how many vacation trips did Laura make?
W was the PRESIDENT.
