Yeah, if he cancelled two of for stops that would be half, he could easily cancel his return trip and that would be half of that too.

You just don't get it, do you ...

OUR job is to KEEP HIM FROM EVER COMING BACK.

He can leave voluntarily, but he has to produce a passport to re-enter the US.


WHY aren't we thinking/doing these normal things ?

Air Force One should be grounded except for outbreak of war

The amount of people those embassies have to devote to CODEL travel by this asswipe and his party should be subtracted from his WH staff of cooks butlers bartenders and valets

Oh and the WH swimming pool and bowling alley should be closed, too

I’d like to see how the government shut down effects the white hut entertainment schedule.

If government is shut down there should be no use of Air Force One. Let him stow away on a freighter if he wants to go somewhere.

Oh, blah, blah, blah

Maybe, Obama and his Admin. should learn to use the telephone or Skype. It’s a very 21st century method of communicating.

Not to forget Oboner's $100 million trip to Africa---which does not include the hundreds of millions in "foreign aid" he gave the oil-rich suckers.

=============================================

The WH grifters are still living large---sucking off the backs of struggling taxpayers. Mrs Grifter still has 24 tax-paid assistants at her beck and call.

NRO tallied what taxpayers are paying for the Ohaha's living in the White House: $1.4 billion per year: Air Force One ($181,757 per hour), executive chef ($100,000 per year), three full-time White House calligraphers ($277,050 per year for the trio), chief of staff to the president’s dog ($102,000 per year), Ohaha's royal motorcade ($2.2 million). $100 million alone for the African apology tour.

==========================================

$1.4 BILLION is the current annual cost of the White House — just in household expenses, not including US policy operations for which the WH exists-- administered by some 900 parasites--- policy staff recruited by Ohaha.

Ohaha vacations cost taxpayers millions---- (the low estimate for Ohaha's Hawaii vacay was $4 million, but the true cost is probably five times that); the first family’s yearly health-care costs are $7 million; more than $6 million is spent on the White House grounds each year. Transportation costs were a staggering $346 million last year.

The O' kids were flying aroound to the Bahamas and Sun Valley.....while US kids were shut out of the WH supposedly due to sequestration Secret Service cutbacks. The O's galivanting teen daughter was spotted in NY---with girlfriends---dining at the pricey Buddakan, scoffing up rock shrimp, edamame dumplings, short ribs, lobster fried rice........replete w/ five Secret Service guards dining nearby, while students her age were denied access to the people's house.

=============================================

Mrs O wore her pricey diamond bangles (bought on a govt salary?) at a DNC fund-raiser, attended by "tolerant and compassionate" Dems....raised big bucks to keep Mr O in office so he could work for "the poor." Mrs diamond Gothic cuff was priced at $15,350 set with 2.17 carats in diamonds and the Quatrefoil bracelet at $11,800 set with 1.73 carats in diamonds. (Excerpt) Read more at houston.culturemap.com.

Typical tolerant and compassionate lib/prog schtick---get the taxpayers to subsidize endless do-good programs "for the poor" .......and make a buck on it for the party.

===============================================
