Obama takes one more overseas vacation on the taxpayers' dime

Obama never misses a chance to disparage the United States while praising himself. Obama is visiting Greece, Italy, and Peru, for God knows what reason, except to take a last vacation on the taxpayers' dime.

Yesterday in Greece he said the election is not a referendum on his tenure and criticized the election as having a "dark side" of populist movements.

The Washington Post reported on November 15, 2016:

Obama, who made it clear during the course of the hour-long news conference that he did not view the recent U.S. election results as a referendum on his own tenure or world vision, suggested that targeting specific racial, religious ethnic groups could backfire[.] ... Obama ... made it clear that he sees a dark side to the kind of populist movements Trump's campaign embodied[.]

Does anyone know the total EIGHT year cost to the taxpayers of sending Baraq and his male companion and adopted kids on VACATIONS? Include all the aircraft costs in the estimate also, and do not count those fake “official” speeches at the vacation destination or way stop - that is simply a game he plays.

Clown Prince nobama and the moocher are on yet another taxpayer-funded vacay. What a worthless and malignant pair of grifter losers.

Every minute that Obummer is on foreign soil badmouthing our country is a minute that he’s not thinking of ways to undermine his successor. We should DEMAND that he do nothing but take overseas trips from now until January 20th.

Some female dem pundit on Fox said it was OK because he had already publicly stated that Trump deserved the benefit of the doubt and that meant the snide flailing didn’t really count....she was laughed at.

If he get that position, I will laugh hysterically if Trump pulls us out.

Btw, Angelina Jolie is gunning for some position at the UN and has a War Room to get her there.

Obama visits Greece to visit the ancient ruins of the Greeks, then jets off to Peru to visit the ancient ruins of the Incas. Of course all on the tax-payer’s dime while spewing CO2 into the environment with total disregard to his own climate change rants.

After this last vacation he will return to the U S to the health-care ruins, the lack of jobs ruins, the ruins of his own Democrat Party, the failed national economy ruins, the illegal immigration ruins, the failed economy ruins, the failed stimulation ruins in spite of spending billions on the effort, failed climate change ruins, the ruins caused by a failure to control the national debt, and failed foreign policy ruins. All caused by his failed policies. He seems to be attracted to ruin as the sun sets on his presidency.

This is his legacy, and he can’t change it no matter what he does in the next two months.

I say keep him out of the country. Better than having him in Washington dreaming up more ways to use his “pen” to wreck the country.

Look on the bright side: maybe Peru is on ObongoDinga’s itinerary as scoping it out before he flees from the upcoming Nuremberg trials when the US collapses economically.

The author doesn’t know why he’s going to Peru? Yet we’re supposed to follow the article. Horse hockey. There is a long ago scheduled OPEC Leaders meeting in Peru. Ridiculous I had to do finish the article for Marsolo.

Hopefully, some of his buddies from Colombia will give him a lifetime supply of blow, and he will use it all in a month...and forget to drink and eat.

Angelina, poor thing, will have a lot of spare time on her hands now that the kids want to go with Brad. Well, that’s was the headlines on the tabloids at the grocery stand today. Maybe she can adopt world leaders and send them classified emails to make up for Hellary out of the loop.
