We spent a thousand times as much on deficit spending for pork to buy votes and support from rich liberals. The $1.4T in destructive waste bothers me a whole lot more than the $1.4B for a spoiled bigot and family.

And protecting Obama from an enraged America for many years will cost us another couple billion.
They plan on buying a mega mansion in Hawaii, and who is paying for it?

I’d love to know how much that private school is costing us for his 2 kids. Did anyone see Brian Williams’ snarky question to Mitt regarding the private school Mitt’s parents sent him to years and years ago? Brian reminded the viewers it would cost $38,000 in today’s $$ to send a kid to Mitt’s private school, and asked Mitt “doesn’t every child deserve such an education?”.
...And yet, we still haven't found any fit enough to run a lemonade stand profitably.
It’s good to be King, even if just for awhile.
Hey there,CW!
Can you imagine Ronald Reagan putting his foot up on the Oval Office desk?
I didn’t think so.
This is so indicative of Obama’s contempt of everything American, and of that we hold sacred.
And there’s that blowhard Joe Biden blabbering away as if Obama gives a crap, and doesn’t have enough sense to tell Zippy to get his damn foot off the desk.
He’s a muzzie showing the sole of his foot to the history of the desk and those that have sat behind it.
Leftist’s have a completely torqued view of what the job of “Representative of the people” means. They don’t recognize it for what it is. They see those votes that put them in the top position of leadership as the winning numbers of a lottery.
They see it as a ticket to ride.
Bill Clinton said he had more fun as President than any other President before him.
Obama is trying to outdo him.
The president’s dog has a handler? At over $100,000/year! We pay for that? So those two kids who wanted a dog can’t take care of it? Good grief!
In contrast the British PM gets paid about $300,000.

You might want to read up on that. Start with George Washington. He and his family had people stopping by their farm (a lot). They were treated as guests and fed and housed.
"In the true tradition of hospitality, the Washington's welcomed hundreds of guests to Mount Vernon each year. Many of the guests remained over night, or for several days, and the servants were kept busy preparing rooms for visitors. Mrs. Washington kept low post beds in storage that could be brought down and set up in the rooms to accommodate the overflow of travelers." - Mount Vernon
