I’m happy to pay for as many vacations as possible. These extended golf outings are FAR cheaper and less destructive than the time that usurper spends in our White House. I hope he will stay in Hawaii forever, or Indonesia, whichever one is his real home.

Future Dem presidents will take that amount as a baseline and a challenge to beat.

We should send them the bill!!!

Do you believe that the funds have not been appropriated by the Republican House?

Obama’s vacations are unpresidented. On Jan 20, he will be completely unpresidented!

he and his family will have spent over $12 BILLION dollars on themselves

All that money has been appropriated by Congress.

He hasn't "spent it on himself" - YOUR representatives and Senators have spent it on him.

that’s two times you posted that- I made no point about where the money came from- the FACT is that he and his family have blown through $12 BILLION dollars of taxpayer’s money and we got ripped off- I posted the info to point out that taking care of him has been a collosal waSTE OF MONEY-

Wish someone would search and find out JUST HOW MANY TRIPS TO HAWAII, THE OBAMAS MADE BEFORE HE BECAME POTUS...

I read some where that they made trips to Hawaii at Christmas time before tax payers began paying for them...can’t find out when he traveled to Hawaii at his own expense...Mooch didn’t even like his family and the girls barely knew his grandparents...

He is such a Liar and story teller..fake all the way through. Will be a day of REJOICING WHEN THEY ALL LEAVE AND TAKE VAL JAR AND HER MOTHER WITH THEM...THEY BOTH HAVE BEEN MOOCHERS OFF TAX PAYERS FOR EIGHT YEARS...ENOUGH IS ENOUGH...

“A few numbers to remember: Mr. Trump won 306 electoral votes, the most for a Republican since George H.W. Bush in 1988.”

A little off-topic, but that seems so weird now, doesn’t it? I mean, comparatively?

Maybe some native Hawaiians will throw BO and MO into a volcano to please Pele, the Hawaiian god of volcanoes. At least I can hope...

Many taxpayers’ vacations have a $0 price tag.

How many planes were flown out to Hawaii this year’s vacay?

“Oh c’mon give us the “real” figure. They carried more than that in spending money to Morocco. Also need the figures on golf course fees and money spent on golf clubs.”

No kidding, they keep throwing around the “$85 million” number, it’s probably closer to ten times that. Kind of like the “11 million” people in the country illegally, a number that hasn’t changed in 20 years or more.
