GatewayPundit ^ | October 4, 2011 | Jim Hoft

First lady Michelle Obama’s family trip to South Africa and Botswana in June cost taxpayers well over $424,000, according to new accounting based on Air Force manifests obtained by Judicial Watch, a taxpayer watchdog group.

The use of Air Force aircraft alone for the June 21-27 trip cost $424,142, said the group, and that doesn’t include the food, lodging, and ground transportation for the 21 family and staff members.

I just wrote a check for over $27,000 to the IRS. How much “fun” does that buy for these anointed ones and their little vermin?

It sure as hell didn’t doesn’t buy me any “fun.”

This is why they wanted the WH, not for the job, but for the perks. They are being paid to party and vacation on our dime. This is beyond her scope as first lady and she should be made to pay, they both should. I pray November will change things.

Two grifters raising their children to be just like them. Hopefully once they vacate (and we fumigate) it will be the last we see of any of them!

...news the LSM won't report.

To be fair, we know if Laura Bush had done the same, the press would have ignored the story too... /s
