What’s that, about $1 per working person for those of us that still have jobs?

$11 Million for travel costs alone"

I'm no fan of Obama, but sometimes I challenge figures that I see in news articles. I don't know what they mean by "travel alone", but I did some figuring in Excel. This is based on an estimate of a 15-day stay and an entourage of 120. I came up with the following guestimates:

$ 1,080,000 hotel costs ($600/night times 120 times 15)
$ 270,000 meal money ($150/day, per person)
$ 108,000 taxi money ($60/day, per person)
$ 960,000 air fair ($8,000 per person, round trip)
Total $2,418,000, about 1/5 what is claimed.

Maybe JD's figures are accurate, but I'd like to see the actual breakdown of expenses, because I've just outlined a pricey trip, and it's not even close to JD's figure, even if you add $200,000 extra for Obama's personal arrangements.
