Records newly obtained by officials with Judicial Watch revealed on Thursday that lodging, security and “entertainment” for the Obamas’ entourage during their trip last year to Africa cost taxpayers nearly $2.2 million.
“The Obamas clearly either do not understand the value of a dollar – or understand it all too well when someone else is picking up the tab,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton.
“Keep in mind that this outrageously lavish excursion came at the very same time that the president was shutting down White House tours and blaming it on the sequester. As one congressional critic noted at the time, the White House could have 1,350 weeks of tours for the cost of the Obama family’s trip to Africa.”
Earlier documents obtained by Judicial Watch said the flight expenses for the family’s African outing totaled more than $8.1 million.

Racist remarks?
PC police?
Yeah, but you see, the trip cost was in the budget....
You still don't get it.
If you don't have FACTS, you cannot conclusively say Obama's spending was excessive.
Frankly, if this exact story was ran by MSNBC about Bush, we would be saying it is bull-feces without a comparison in numbers.
Fair is fair.
Frankly, the WND story is a junk piece of journalism and we should not be warmly accepting it.
Look it up yourself troll.
Big words from a small mind.
The article is JUNK news with nothing to support the headline.
But you are proof that mindless idiots exist on the left and right.
Thank you for bringing some SANITY to this thread!
King Farouk of Egypt myst have been a primary obama role model. BO’s about as unlike George Washington as any creature could possibly be.
