The Obamas arrived in Tuscany on a private plane escorted by six fighter jets and a 13-car motorcade on Friday as they continue their all-expenses-paid world tour.
Barack and Michelle Obama will have an entire 14th century village to themselves during their five-night stay - at an eye-watering cost of $15,000 per night.
Not that the couple are likely to have paid, as it's owned by the ex-president's former ambassador to Italy, John Philips.

my first thought
Looked to be with a couple of secret service types-hard to tell-but I know that there weren't any jets or motorcades visible.
Maybe it's just that Bush doesn't need 6 fighter jets to go to the john, and he just isn't as hated as the commie Kenyan.
Hey Barry, better post that on your taxes.
“..Former Presidents can also get up to $1 million per year in travel expenses and their spouses $500,000 per year.”
How about Congress passing legislation reducing the lavishness of past-president’s perks. Maybe along the lines of what Truman received.
Why do we do this for ex-presidents? I mean, I assume we’re paying for this. And what message does this nonsense send to our allies? Obnoxious, disliked and out-of-touch.
Do the Italians bill the US taxpayer for that air cover???
Thanks, Suckers!
homobama needs no secret service protection: our enemies protect him, so there is no one out there to physically harm the effin putz.
They are not royalty. Why are they living like they are?
BHO has no class. After all the opulence, he will leave his dirty socks on the floor.
It’s a shame there wasn’t any stray voltage on those fighters.
May they be forced to live together, healthy and aware, for 50 years.
how long does this crap go on!
Yes, indeed. Many of our presidents have retired with grace and dignity. Modern democratic presidents are utter pigs.
6 Fighter jets?
YGBSM
Life is a shtruggle for the 0bamas.
Sounds like he’s finally ready for Kenya.
Coinky Dink that this is a few days before President Trump visits the Vatican?
The Obamas arrive in Tuscany on a private plane...
Be good if we could get the Italians to keep him. What a disgrace he was/is/will be.
