Taxpayers paid for President Obama and first lady Michelle Obama to fly separately Thursday to Los Angeles, where they appeared on separate TV talk shows on the same day.
Mr. Obama flew on Air Force One, which costs about $228,000 per hour of flight time, to appear on Jimmy Kimmel Live on Thursday night in Los Angeles.
Meanwhile, Mrs. Obama flew on a different plane Thursday across country to Burbank, California, to tape an appearance on Ellen Degeneres show. That show will be broadcast on Monday.
White House deputy press secretary Eric Schultz told reporters Friday that the president and first ladys schedules were not in sync in order to travel together.

Especially now that thunder thighs is in trouble. lol
“Why are the taxpayers paying to fly the First Lady anywhere?”
There needs to be legislation against this.
I had these two figured out even before the first election. Its rather obvious.
The King and Queen are not to be troubled by petty financial concerns like mere peasants! God hard to believe I thought the clintoons were the biggest media whores, mere amateurs they are in comparison.
I’m sure I’m not the only one that has come to this conclusion -
“redistributing the wealth” is more about taking it from the people who earned it
than it is about “giving” to people who “need” it.
Were these trips necessary?
Are these sick-os necessary?
Why aren’t they gone?
Couldn't fit her travel crate in the Cargo Hold of AF One?
Remember a few years ago, Michelle took a whole planeload of hangers on and friends on a trip to Spain? Who the heck paid for that/???
How much carbon did that cost?
They love to shove it down the peeps throats, I really believe most of their behavior is antagonistic. Guarantee this is how the discussion went, “do you think we should coordinate our schedules and only use one plane?”
“Nah, fu@$ them.”
They won the gangsta lottery when they became prez.
They got's the freedom to do with our money whatever the hell they want to do.
And they each have their own posse.
It is like Kanye and Kim are our political leaders.
Pathetic, our government is so corrupt.
ain't that the truth
My husband was in Burbank ,on business yesterday, and had no idea that the grifters were in town. He said EVERYTHING was at a complete standstill. He despises them both, to begin with, so he was not a happy camper.
That picture is a hoax?
And, let me guess - They can’t fly United or Jet Blue and go through security like the rest of us; they can’t take a little business jet, nothing like that!
Agreed, and antagonistic is precisely the right word.
Please make it stop!
