Michelle Obama Riverdances Through Dublin to the Tune of $7,921,638
Breitbart ^ | 4/16/2014 | Tom Fitton

When it comes to tracking the cost of Obama family vacations, there are two primary challenges. First, the Obamas are prolific jet-setters, so there are many details to track. Second, the Obama administration, clearly embarrassed by these lavish and frequent family vacations, stonewalls the release of records at every turn.

But we have been relentless in pursuit of this information. Our attorneys file the lawsuits and make our case, and our investigators pour through pages of records and crunch the numbers. And the information we’ve uncovered – information that would otherwise remain under lock and key – shows that the Obamas have a disturbing lack of regard for taxpayer resources.

Most recently, when reviewing the Obama family travel log, Judicial Watch obtained records from the U.S. Department of the Air Force and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security revealing that President Obama’s June 2013 trip to Belfast, Ireland, including a Dublin sightseeing side trip by Michelle Obama, her daughters, and her entourage, cost the taxpayers $7,921,638.66.

[. . .and I don’t remember such excess for “diplomatic” trips, certainly with not such an entourage (by the Bush family).

Bush was criticized for not traveling enough. The media said he had no curiosity about foreign lands.

$8,000,000 for a pleasure trip. Circa 1868 the reconstruction legislature of Louisiana treated themselves to $250,000 dollars worth of Christmas hams-that would be about $8,000,000 in today’s dollars. Nothing has changed.

As I remember FDR came under criticism for throwing lavish White House events during the depths of the Great Depression.

A thrill it is to be honored with a visit by the Banshee.

I’d like to know how many in that entourage were relatives and friends.

Are you referring to the Charity Balls during FDR’s terms in office? They were privately funded.
