President Barack Obama’s last three vacations cost $6.2 million. As a friend made me think, when he sent me this story, if this man ever opens his mouth again about “income inequality” and “economic injustice,” someone needs to tell him to shut up. A Secret Service agent would be perfect. The next two years can’t be over soon enough.
I’m sure he’ll add another $5-$10-million to this obscene bill to shove down our throats before he’s done. According to the Washington Examiner,, “Taxpayers get stuck with $6.2 million tab for just 3 Obama vacations; $40m over 6 years.” Three recent and lavish vacations by the first family cost taxpayers more than $6.2 million just for transportation and security, bringing the pleasure price for President Obama and first lady Michelle Obama’s trips to tens of millions of dollars since taking office, according to federal documents. Taxpayer watchdog group Judicial Watch told Secrets that new cost calculations for security showed that the first family’s 2012-2013 vacation to Honolulu and the first lady’s 2014 ski trip to Aspen, Colo., reached nearly $1 million. The Feds also coughed up the cost for flying the first lady to Aspen this year: $34,962

I think they left off some zeroes.
Zeroes as in “Zero”.
And I would be willing to bet that GB didn’t spend nearly as much in his entire eight years as Prez.
I’m not so sure all of his supporters paid for it either.
This figure makes no sense, the Africa trip cost $100million
O needs to sign up for a Players Card at a casino. Wife and I get discount $19 per night motel rooms. Plus we get $10 off on meals there too. Great deal and would save us taxpayers a lot of money.
Save
That's what I was thinking, Maybe they left off at least a digit... There have been many 8 - 10 million dollar ones too, so it seems that 400 million is a more accurate figure. And Mooch goes through about a million a month in Lobster and Wagyu.... That ought to count as vacation too.
If you think that’s bad, you should see what’s been spent on wine. Oh, right, you can’t, the White House no longer releases such trivial things.
Thank you for putting it so well. It’s hard to come up with descriptions anymore for the rage I feel over these two pretenders, narcissistic arrogant thieves of America’s heritage and history, for the destructiveness of their very existence on this planet. I cannot believe I have lived to see this happen to America. And that we have to watch it happen like a slow-motion train wreck with no bold leadership to fight for what’s left of it, just breaks my heart every day. The Republican party is worthless. They’ve all sold out. Is there any hope left?
They must have made a clerical mistake and only posted the liquor tab.
At least a digit! We will never know the added costs of Barry flyin’ his Rump rompin’ pal Reggie Love all over the planet and back on private flights to meet up with him. Then there is those two’s Tootski Tab. That has gotta be thru the roof right there also!
You could not have written your post any better! “Slow motion train wreck” nails it. There is hope tho, don’t give up. Never quit.
Any vacations other than in Chicago or Camp David ought to be paid by the vacationers themselves.
The Feds also coughed up the cost for flying the first lady to Aspen this year: $34,962

NO!!!! The Feds didn’t pay nary a dime here.
They took OUR confiscated money and redistributed it to pay for the trip.
Like the man says, ‘The Government PAYS for nothing’.
WE DO!!.
The ones that get me most are when they take SEPARATE planes and/or send the dogs in a separate plane.
Remember how they ‘ragged’ on S Palin for buying new clothes to wear for appearances with J McC?
Probably would have made a ‘bigger hit’ with Middle America had she worn her Plaid Shirts and Cammie slacks, giving the appearance she may go hunting after the appearance.
Well, you said it as well as I did.
$40M is just the tip of the Wookie.
