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.
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.
baraq is livin large and gettin paid.
I’m sure obama is hating all the opulence and pretentiousness but he has a thankless job of stick’n to the rich.
Bttt
Get rid of the czars. That would be helpful. The movie projectionist should be available only from 6-12 weeknights and noon to midnight on weekends only. I give a little leeway to the fact that any President just can’t go to the movies so they need some sort of entertainment. It should not cost that much to go to Camp David. That is just ridiculous. I don’t have any idea why it would cost that much for a place that is less than an hour from the White House. The campaigning for President is a necessity but the DNC should pay for that unless he has an official visit with the governor, mayor of the town or something like that. I can’t imagine 1.4 billion is accurate but it sure is a lot of money regardless.
Really need a comparison here to George Bush and Bill Clinton’s White House expenses. George Bush used Air force One as he campaigned for re-election in 2004. But still.....I’ll bet crazy arse spendthrift Bammy Boy is squandering much more on his presidency than anyone before. It’s his style. He already has had many more White House parties, at least half of them slanted towards black entertainers to spread Bammy Boy’s fame in de hood
that’s BILLION with a B.
In ONE year.
Just on goodies for this jerk and his wife, the international traveler.
Where is Michelle off to this week?
If she is even at the WH, you can bet she is planning her next jaunt across the globe.
And yet obama voters were pissed in 2008 that the republican party spent $150K on a wardrobe for Sarah Palin and family. A mere pittance in comparison.
