Why does caring for O’s family cost taxpayers 24X as much as caring for the British royal family?

Why does caring for Barack Obama’s family cost taxpayers 24 times as much as caring for the British royal family?

The Daily Caller reports:

Taxpayers spent $1.4 billion dollars on everything from staffing, housing, flying and entertaining President Obama and his family last year, according to the author of a new book on taxpayer-funded presidential perks. In comparison, British taxpayers spent just $57.8 million on the royal family.

That is an absolute disgrace.

The article continues:

Obama has 469 senior staffers and 226 are paid more than $100,000 a year

A president who believed in constitutionally limited government would never do that.

The article also states:

The president has a full-time movie projectionist in the White House theater: Projectionists sleep at the White House and are there 24 hours a day in case anyone needs to see a movie.

Apparently, the person who is trusted to keep their finger on the button that activates the nuclear bombs is too incompetent to operate a DVD player.

The article also says that taxpayers spend $102,000 per year on a “dog handler” for Obama’s dog. The President already receives a personal salary of $400,000 a year – why can’t he spend his own money on a “dog handler”?

For more examples of horrible things that Obama has done, please see my earlier post Here are 95 examples of Barack Obama’s lying, lawbreaking, corruption, and cronyism.

Because the British family is self sufficient, relatively speaking?

Do we have any figures comparing Bush to Obama? I’d be curious to see how much the King and Queen inflated the budget for their personal care while caring for the poor people and the middle class. I guess he’s helping the middle class by hiring all the unnecessary help.

The old rich know HOW to be rich.

The Obamas act like lottery winners.

The B-HOs are laughing at U.S. taxpayers. The B-Hos are giving U.S. taxpayers their comeuppance.

The optics of this are soooooo bad. Axelrod et al. must have sh*t for brains, since they allowed this to go on. The worst economic situation since the Great Depression, and the Obamas are living it up like French royals. They are absolutely disgusting.

The obumbler costs should be higher than the cost to maintain the royals because obumbler has huge costs directly related to the operation of the government.

However that still does not explain the outrageous costs.

That question was too easy, as are 99.9 percent of males. This is why males are dogs, and females are cats. Another one references the rosters and the chicks. Can't say that one and be comfortable on a family site. Then there is the one about dudes and dudettes. Will simply say this ... given the time of day, all day long and deep into the night, heat in the summer and winter is ongoing for the furred ones on two legs.

zer0 appreciates our contributions. He gives us the finger every chance he has. Just think we have to continue paying him taxpayer dollars even after he is voted out or heaven forbid, voted back in. Our money is his. He will give us the finger forever. Pardon me, I have to go cry some tears for Former President Nixon.
