I was actually surprised as I expected the cost to be much larger than that (and perhaps the real cost was understated). No extravagance or pivilege is too great for the Sun King.

And why not? Who is going to stop him? Its amazing (at least to me) that he hasn’t grabbed even more in power and perks than he has. The country seems willing to tolerate his endless excesses and abuses.

Everyone around here says “Obama is a do nothing President” They say Look at his skimpy schedule, mostly political events and short hours. Well this story talks about what he does best, take time off and have fun

You don't REALLY think he's doing NOTHING during those "golf games" and "vacations", do you?

He's doing his real job. The golf and vacations are just a cover.

Would God he were a do nothing President and spent all of his time whacked out on drugs or drunk. He’d have done a lot less damage that way.

I have a problem with the English language in describing the Mahdi and Moochelle: there’s just no word, or combination of words, ordinary or obscene, the can express the depth and extent of my absolute loathing for those two subhumans and their evil enablers.

They are not mot likely counting in the double use in travel, 1 presidential event, 5 campaign hop stops. You can eliminate those as legit ones not what the 5 additional ones truly are. And dem national or 0’s war chest should pick up the tab for that.
