Obama Speaks on Global Warming, Then Spews CO2 With Private Jet, 13-Car Motorcade
Heat Street ^ | 5/22/17 | Zanotti

Current President Donald Trump may be living it up in Saudi Arabia, but former President Barack Obama certainly isn’t slacking off on the sweet life.

Obama and his wife Michelle are in Italy this week on vacation, after the former President spoke to the Institute for International Political Studies in Milan on the importance of addressing climate change, to preserve the world’s food supply and protect its underprivileged.

Apparently, he’s decided to demonstrate humanity’s contribution to global warming by making his own carbon footprint as big as possible.

On Friday, the Obama’s jetted into Tuscany on a private – not a commercial – plane, escorted into a small Florentine airport by six additional military jets, according to Italian state television. Footage of the landing has been broadcasting across Italy all weekend.

Once on the ground, the Obamas slipped into a black SUV and drove to the private Tuscan villa, Borgo Finocchieto, where they’ll be staying in all week, escorted by a 13-car motorcade.

At 4 million dollars a speech he can afford. But I’m thinking the government of Italy foots most of the bills.

If global warming is real it means food crops could be farmed year round in Michigan making food cheaper. Hay could be grown year round making beef cheaper. Win - Win.

Obama continues to rob the Treasury to live like a king.

Trump should cut this ex-Presidential perk that Obama designed for himself.
