New information obtained from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) brings the grand total of known travel expenses of President Obama and his family to $79,630,433.93, Judicial Watch reported Wednesday.
Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton called President Obama’s travel spending a “scandal” and an “abuse of the office.” […]
The priciest of the seven trips — to Seattle and Los Angeles to raise money for Democratic congressional candidates in July 2014 — cost taxpayers $237,731.05 on hotels, $19,888.70 on rental cars, $1,451.40 on air and rail travel, and $2,425,085.50 on Air Force expenses, for a grand total of $2,684,156.60, according to the released records. …

Yet his constituents think nothing of it. If it had been a Republican, they’d be howling.
“Yet his constituents think nothing of it. If it had been a Republican, they’d be howling.”
That’s because he be gettin’ one over on da man! They’re living vicariously (or whatever hood-rat-speak is for it) through his looting of the US Treasury. Never mind that their lives are sh!t with no chance of getting better.
I wonder what his carbon footprint is?
Hey, those monthly vacations for Mooch and the girls are expensive!
The fools that elected Obama are flat-out stupid. Obama jams it “in their face” and they just smile. Useful idiots.
Great point. More liberal hypocrisy. I thought the biggest problem facing America was global warming?
The next time someone says how great a President Obama has been, ask them how many black kids would have food, clothing, books, and school tuition for $79,000,000.
When they say that’s irrelevant, call them a hypocrite and racist, and see how they react. Take a selfie of it. Should be a best seller.
AMEN!!!
Why should Zero care...it’s not his money.
Trumps actually realizes how much something costs..
Just trying to “one up” his fellow kings in Africa.
How does it compare with costs under Bush?
I think the figure is greatly understated.
When a President travels, there are auxiliary expenses. It’s not just AF1, the pilot, staff, and Secret Service’s wages. They have to eat, any other duties they have are disrupted, and then there’s the cronies. When Mooch takes the kids and their friends on a two week fancy vacation, is that included in the above calculation? I doubt it.
Exactly. Obama has NEVER had to work or earn anything in his life. That’s why he acts like such a little p****y when he doesn’t get his way.
Put Hussein on the No-Fly List.
Just think how many Obama phones that could have bought his BLM thugs.
We couldn’t have expected anything different from the candidate who in 2007 moaned about the price of Arugula. The supposed community organizer cares nothing for the community he claims to represent, as demonstrated all too clearly by the escalating body count in Chicago. He’s an elitist of the worst kind.
Some one needs to add up all their vacations, golf trips and clothing buys for the past 7+ yrs, I’d bet it comes close to half a BILLION.
