The Democratic base is growing increasingly frustrated with former President Barack Obama’s actions after leaving office, including a seemingly endless tour of millionaire and billionaire luxury retreats, according to Democrats and activists contacted by Fox News.
Ex-presidents, understandably and un-controversially, go on vacations immediately after leaving office. But the level of luxury the Obamas enjoy on their vacations is unprecedented for a modern-day president, say travel experts.
Since leaving office in late January, Obama has visited late actor Marlon Brando’s private island; the Four Seasons in Bali -- where rooms cost upward of $2,000 per night; Indonesia; a Palm Springs estate; Sir Richard Branson’s Necker Island; the exclusive Mid Pacific Country Club in Oahu; the 13th-century Borgo Finocchieto in Tuscany; and the Rising Sun, Hollywood studio mogul David Geffen’s private yacht.

The guy is a leach...
Now that he’s gone sure.
Why should he change what he was doing while he was PIA in charge.
Just the same-old, same-old, only at an extreme level-leeching off other people’s money.
Luxury vacations AFTER leaving office, guess they were too busy swooning over him to notice the endless luxury vacations for him and Moochy DURING office.
Let him go on vacation and stay on vacation. Keeps him from meddling in current events.
In a more just world, the whole criminal loser faux-family would be in prison or exiled for life.
Keep in mind that we’re still paying for Secret Service protection wherever they go. If it is a $2K per night resort - guest what? We’re paying $2K per night to house agents.
[a seemingly endless tour of millionaire and billionaire luxury retreats]
Funny. I never noticed an increase in the OBAMA’S tour of luxury retreats since he left office.
My sentiment also. Go away and STAY away.
He won’t like the reception if he ever comes back.
He’s making the little people feel — little.
Don’t worry, he’s just resting up for when he returns to lead the charge against Trump.
What an utter joke. The Democrats think this guy walks on water.
He’s just doing what he is good at. If it cuts down on the time he spends doing what he is terrible at, then everyone benefits. If being the plaything of the rich and famous is your talent in life, you should exercise that talent. Lord knows he isn’t very capable for anything else.
So what? He left office, let him vacation. He’s a limousine liberal. He’s wealthy now. A wealthy black man who attacks other wealthy people.
What’s the problem your still paying him
But Obama wants to live like a billionaire.
His real base, the African-American voting block, loves it. He’s getting his. Getting over.
Who/what is paying for these expensive vacations, and what are they getting from a former President for their money?
