Have yet to hear what Obozo’s jaunts, including his 300+(?) rounds of golf, cost the US taxpayers.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Judicial Watch has been suing via FOIA to get the information. I saw recently, where they got some additional documents and the Obamas have cost the taxpayers over $100 million. Unfortunately, their site doesn’t have a ‘search’ function so I couldn’t come up with that specific article ... I was able to find this article from Dec. 2016 where the costs were over $96 million, along with some details.

Judicial Watch: New Obama Travel Costs Bring Eight-Year Total over $96 Million

http://www.judicialwatch.org/press-room/press-releases/judicial-watch-new-obama-travel-costs-bring-eight-year-total-96-million/

Worth looking at the entire article, but here is the last paragraph:

“The Obamas’ notorious abuse of presidential travel perks wasted military resources and stressed the Secret Service. Judicial Watch estimates that the final costs of Obama’s unnecessary vacation and political travel will well exceed $100 million,” said Judicial Watch president Tom Fitton. “President-elect Trump can immediately save taxpayers money by reforming presidential travel.”

” “President-elect Trump can immediately save taxpayers money by reforming presidential travel.”
Lets be honest hey? He hasn’t reformed it. He’s out and away every weekend regardless of the excuses some are making him.
