When President Obama visited Jamaica in early April, he held a town hall meeting with "Young Leaders of the Americas" at University of the West Indies in Kingston, Jamaica. The president made remarks and took questions for only about 75 minutes in the Assembly Hall building on the Mona campus of the university, but the State Department issued four contracts totaling almost $50,000 for "staging" and the installation of generators and air conditioners.
The initial "staging" contract was $39,935 with a followup change order for $3,675. The exact nature of the work is not spelled out, and the contractor is simply listed as "Miscellaneous Foreign Awardees." Photos of the event appear to show a low stage with several rows of seating on risers for selected representatives of the Young Leaders of the Americas and a row of flags from the nations represented at the meeting. Behind the stage, a high white wall was emblazoned with an official seal and draped with red, blue and gold bunting.
There were also two contracts for the generators and air conditioners, one for $4,060 and another for $1,264. Temperatures in Kingston were in the 80s on the day of the president's visit. It is unclear if the building, Assembly Hall, is usually air conditioned. The university's website says the hall is the "main ceremonial venue" for the school, and is offered for rent on weekdays to outside groups for $50,000 and on weekends for $70,000. The website cooltechnologies.org says that the Mona campus underwent a "conversion of nearly 4,000 window, mini-split and central air conditioning units" to more efficient "hydrocarbon units" for "significant cost benefits", but does not specifically mention the Assembly Hall building.

Hourly cost to operate AF1 is $228K. This is a bargain.
He really enjoys stiffing the tax payers. On second thought, I will be even bold enough to say, he enjoys stiffing the white tax payers. He is evil incarnate.
I wonder how much it cost to stage his little Global Warming talk in the Everglades?

King obongo could not be seen to be getting hot and sweaty by a bunch of authentic full house of negroes.
The King does not sweat, and of course he’s really not going to hang around the “natives”, the inferiors of the little people.
Be sure to pay your taxes, fellow peasants...
Don’t you mean SERFS? that is what they have turned us into.
Flash back in time to Hitler's massive Nuremberg rallies. Envision the tiered seating on the stage, huge amounts of red, black and white flags and bunting, an enormous seal of a golden, fierce-visaged Nazi eagle with wide-spread wings looming above the stage with an orb clutched in its talons bearing Hitler's swastika seal.
All that Obama lacked in his staged Jamaica rally were the towering Chicago grecian pillars, the American eagle seal looming behind him with talons clutching an orb with his personal Pepsi-logo seal emblazoned on it....and
.....missing, also, was the phalanxes of several thousands of storm troopers, regular army and gestapo troops sitting rigidly at attention in the audience.
Heil, Obama!
