A MAN OF THE PEOPLE - Report: Obama family personal trips cost $85 million over eight years

WASHINGTON

As America’s first family enjoys its eighth and final vacation in Hawaii, new estimates put the price tag of the Obamas’ annual trip at $3.5 million or more.

In total, the cost of the the first family’s personal or largely personal travel during the last eight years comes to $85 million – though that is likely to climb to $90 million after additional records are released, according to the conservative group Judicial Watch based on federal government records.

The cost of Air Force One and other government planes as well as helicopters, cargo planes, armored cars, Secret Service protection and advance, communications and medical staff has led Judicial Watch to push for less personal travel.

“The Secret Service and the Air Force are being abused by unnecessary travel,” Judicial Watch president Tom Fitton said. “Unnecessary presidential travel for fundraising and luxury vacations on the taxpayers’ dime would be a good target for reform for the incoming Trump administration.”

NYC is sending the federal government a bill for $35 million dollars, and that is only for the period since the election.

[Dr Winston O Boogie jr]

I've never been a fan of President Obama or his policies or ideas for this country, but this complaint is a bit unfair.
It has cost huge amounts of money for every president in the past 50 years to go on vacations.

I takes so much to move a president from one place to another.

For example are you aware that there are two Air Force Ones? For security reasons, there are two identical planes. Every time the president flies they both take off and and fly to the destination so that the odds of his being shot down are cut in half. The same for the presidential limousine.

There are also several cars of security personnel and others that form a motorcade. There are often other airplanes that carry the limo and other equipment when he travels.

In addition, there are probably hundreds of personnel that travel with the president.

This is not a situation that is unique to President Obama. It happens with all presidents. And the cost has been more for each successive president as the cost of living has increased and the cost of new technology has been added.

IMHO there is plenty of things to complain about with this administration, but vacations and travel cost are not one of them.

Very well stated. Hopefully all the posters who have been keeping track of the Obama's travel expenses for the last eight years are prepared to do the same for Trump. As he prepares to move to DC, while his wife and family remain in NYC, will he be using Air Force One every week-end to go back and forth?

The President also pays for his vacation. It is not billed to the taxpayers. He needs a place that can be secured. He can't check into the local Motel 6. He is on duty 24/7 so give the guy a break. He has certainly taken less time off then Bush jr.

OH? Did Bush fly to Hawaii every year for his vacation? If you are going to talk about his going to his ranch in Texas, then you might want to check to see how many times he did business there, much like going to Camp David, which does not seem to be utilized anymore. The president can take his vacation anywhere he wishes, to an African safari if he wishes. One of the many perks. As far as I am concerned, Jan 20th can not get here fast enough. Then Obama can take his permanent vacation.

Please explain how Obamma paid for his vacations. I don't feel Obamma golfing is on duty 24/7, certainly he had an idea of the time commitment prior to pursuing the position...Is 85 million considered just giving the guy a break?

Bush Jr? Is that supposed to justify spending 85 million on family vacations?

Obama pays for his vacation rentals just like everyone else. He gets out his checkbook and writes a check. The house they have been renting in Martha's Vineyard rents for $20,000 per week. They have to rent homes in secure locations and large enough for a contingent of secret service.

You lie Warren...the SS provides building security like this all the time when the president travels. Why do you people lie so? Or, are you really that gullible?

A MAN OF THE PEOPLE - Report: Obama family personal trips cost $85 million over eight years

In total, the cost of the the first family’s personal or largely personal travel during the last eight years comes to $85 million – though that is likely to climb to $90 million after additional records are released, according to the conservative group Judicial Watch based on federal government records.

Yep, the Clintons committed grand larceny, a felony. They admitted their violation and paid back thousands in restitution. But, Libtards do not believe that Hillary is a felon, or corrupt. And they totally ignore her violations of National Security. It's all a right wing conspiracy with Russia, to undermine Obama's legacy. OK....ha,ha.

Call you local congress person and ask for an itemized statement on the $10 trillion dollars. You do know that congress writes the budget and controls the purse strings.

While you have your rep on the phone, ask him/her what the annual savings will be when Medicare is ended, when Obamacare is ended, and when the VA and social security is privatized.

He paid more taxes than you and probably most of the Villages residents combined. Oh, you mean Federal Income taxes? How much did he cheat you? If a person legally does not pay taxes, is that "cheating" you? I hope you are not that stupid to think that his filling out the tax form legally is a crime. You are "cheating" all of us for taking a deduction or exemption, according to your view of it. Let me know if you have a loss if you plan NOT to take credit for it. I'll come over and pat you on the back, and also laugh at you for being stupid.

You know how that tune goes " If the rich would only pay their fair share then all of the children could go to college for free " .

How much do you think Trump has cheated the rest of us by not paying a single cent in taxes for years. '

I'll bet you never ran your own biz,right?

You surely don't know how a NOL works with IRS

The Clueless on this site have never taken any accounting or finance courses . However they are all experts at anything to do with Corporate Taxes .

The Left prefers to remain ignorant concerning these subjects because it frees them to simply make things up and then believe them to be true .

Libtards are still waiting for some of Obie's "stash" that was promised them when he ran for office 8 years ago.

A " Walter Mitty " insinuation . Tell me what proof you would like to see to validate my life accomplishments and education .

My most recent monthly Investment Statements ? My resume backed up by those who worked with me ? Copies of my annual reviews ?

What would it take and of course you would be willing to do the same correct ?

No just an MBA and 35+ years as a senior executive in finance including a few years as president and CEO of a multi-state Brokerage / Investment and Insurance Firm .

So hey what would I know compared to say a former school teacher or former government bureaucrat or social worker !

Please share with us your education and career background .

[rubicon]

Those, like yourself, who either plagiarize from fake news sites and then don't even link to them or make pronouncements with absolutely no basis in fact, complaining because someone else actually took the time to fact check...perfectly exhibits the ignorance that got Trump elected.

I get why you types are leery of real fact checkers, as it simply shines a light on your lies...and you take umbrage that everyone doesn't just automatically believe anything you spew.

Sorry though, some of us are actually intelligent enough... to not believe known bull$hitters like him and yourself. :wave:

Dear Guest:

I am going to take an educated guess that you follow me on this forum ready to strike because you view civility and politeness as weaknesses to explore. And of course one remedy to cure this malady is to with like, kind, and quality.

Please define what "intelligent enough" means from someone who seems incapable of civil and logical discourse. One whose perpetual and continued arguments amount to name calling and character assassinations. What is it that you believe you contribute to this forum other than childish disruptions. I wonder if you get the giggles as you keyboard your responses to me and other posters? Or tell yourself what you write is "so "kool and the oft misspoken " so fun"? Perhaps you should look into a mirror when you write. Reflection is good for the soul

Personal Best Regards:

So then...you know that fiat currency, fractional reserve banking, are theft... A loan is nothing but a ledger entry into your books yet you lay claim to real property if they can't pay your "interest" for lending them credits originating at the Federal Reserve.

Not Plagiarized ---- copied from " The New Yorker Magazine :

“You are very kind,” said Mitty. A huge, complicated machine, connected to the operating table, with many tubes and wires, began at this moment to go pocketa-pocketa-pocketa.

It would seem that he was comparing me to Mitty . What say you ?

A MAN OF THE PEOPLE - Report: Obama family personal trips cost $85 million over eight years

WASHINGTON

As America’s first family enjoys its eighth and final vacation in Hawaii, new estimates put the price tag of the Obamas’ annual trip at $3.5 million or more.

In total, the cost of the the first family’s personal or largely personal travel during the last eight years comes to $85 million – though that is likely to climb to $90 million after additional records are released, according to the conservative group Judicial Watch based on federal government records.

The cost of Air Force One and other government planes as well as helicopters, cargo planes, armored cars, Secret Service protection and advance, communications and medical staff has led Judicial Watch to push for less personal travel.
ADVERTISING

“The Secret Service and the Air Force are being abused by unnecessary travel,” Judicial Watch president Tom Fitton said. “Unnecessary presidential travel for fundraising and luxury vacations on the taxpayers’ dime would be a good target for reform for the incoming Trump administration.”

Thank you villagers. The family vacations wouldn't have happened without you. Cheers.

MAKE THE WORLD SAFE FOR SOCIALISM.
I turned down a job years ago where on the interview when asked why the compensation offer seemed so low the reply was yeah but you will steal the rest form you expense account. l TOLD THEM I WAS NOT INTERESTED IN WORKING FOR THEM.

OBAMA-President is paid 400,000, which TRUMP has turned down. OBAMA-took 400,000 PLUS 85 MIL IN TRAVEL EXPENSE-PLUS, TEN TRILLION DOLLARS IN OVERDRAFT.
Will he AS THE CLINTONS DID steal the furniture as well?


Obama might as well take the exercise equipment he uses daily with him, otherwise it will just be covered in cobwebs. Trump is turning the exercise room into a doughnut shop.

[Warren Kiefer]

Very well stated. Hopefully all the posters who have been keeping track of the Obama's travel expenses for the last eight years are prepared to do the same for Trump. As he prepares to move to DC, while his wife and family remain in NYC, will he be using Air Force One every week-end to go back and forth?


The cost credited to Obama will be a drop in the bucket compared to what it will cost to keep the White house and Trump Tower secured !!!

It's a case of "thou protest too much"...they KNOW we're right, so they preemptively strike out.

Trump will be too busy to waste his time PLAYING. Unlike the libtard's need to bow at the feet of celebrities, the right does not give a rat's @ss about what a president eats or whether or not he exercises. He will only be there for four to eight years maximum, so who cares? If appearances mattered, why would the left choose someone like Hillary to champion their cause? Can't get much uglier than that.
