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 lady’s “schedules were not in sync in order to travel together.”

Other people’s money.
Suckers.
Why are the taxpayers paying to fly the First Lady anywhere? She is not a government employee.
GOP will give them Tons more ,no problem
They both wanted the first window seat on the Starboard side. What else could they do?
Could it be because of all the death threats
Redistributing wealth.
Schedules didn’t sync up.
Pure celebrity drivel.
We don’t have a WH family.
WE have a Reality TV family.
What they hey, they’re living ghetto rich on the taxpayers’ dime. Hussein sees the Oval Office as a celebrity rap star gig, except for the times he misuses it to oppress the middle class and steal our Constitutional freedom. He’s so lazy, his puppet masters have to make him do that much. He’s golfed and vacationed his way through 6 years now. Considering the things he’s done the few times he has (mis)used the office, we should wish that he golfs and vacations his way through the rest. It’s bad enough that he has people like Jarrett to do his dirty work of oppressing Americans.
We all know that Hillary isn’t too happy with him.
LOL. “Cribs” writ large.
Why should Moo wait around for him to quit taking selfies?
All that fuel burned, and jet exhaust, without a care about contributing to global warming.
And all for what?
Appearances on a TV show?
They could have done a remote interview.
Next time they screech about global warming, they need to be reminded of their own hypocrisy.
“WE have a Reality TV family.”
Right on the mark, NR.
What schedules? Both are lazy no-shows who typically don’t go to more than one meeting a day anyway.
If there were to be a crash and both the President and first lady were killed, who would the Democrats run in 2016?
Now let’s be honest. Would you want to be stuck on a plane with Michelle Obama for 4-5 hours?
He can’t stand her any more than we can.
and
She can’t stand him any more than we can.
Not only the insult of wasteing our tax dollars but the hypocrisy of their stance on global warming and the blatant disregard of practicing what they preach.
They are mouth breathing scum.
