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.”

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.

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 !!!

Only racists like Chi-Town and CNM, who see the world through the the prism of race, would conclude that an ordinary piece of playground equipment would have racial overtones.

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

"Jungle" gym...get it? The simians use a "jungle" gym.

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.
