TAXPAYERS SPENT $1,400,000,000.00 ON OBAMA VACATIONS IN 2011
To be fair, the total was for vacations and all the trimmings. Some of us wonder if Obama actually works at all with all the time spent on holidays and trips. Then again, maybe it would cheaper for us if he didn’t work at all.
Our Presidents have been increasing their “fun” budget for some time now. That’s how the Obama’s justify their incredible spending. Since other Presidents did it, it must be O.K. And there’s no limit. In the subject article, shocking details of the out of control spending on the part of the President, the President’s wife, the President’s children AND the President’s dog are covered. Just last week, the President flew to Florida to play golf. Not to be outdone, Queen Michelle, flew to Aspen to do a little skiing, and yes, you paid for it.
I have publicly wondered if there is any outrage from the New American Royalty that the American public will not tolerate. Since it was OK for Obama to spend a billion dollars on himself in 1 year, why not go for a trillion? Here’s an idea — let’s send every cent we make directly to Obama. With over 300 million residents in the U.S., that amount might satisfy the gluttonous appetite for these royal pigs.
SPRING BREAK: Cost of Air Force One trips to and from Florida, along with hotel rooms, greens fees and exclusive golf lessons comes to $989,207. Michelle’s ski trip shuts down Aspen air space.
- Obama played at exclusive Florida course on Sunday with Tiger Woods
- President refused to say if he had been beaten by the champion golfer
- Cost of Air Force One trips to and from Florida, along with hotel rooms, greens fees and exclusive golf lessons comes to $989,207
- Tried to mend fraught relationship with traveling press corps by ‘hanging out’ with them for 10 minutes on the flight back

The weekend is the latest in a string of incidents that have prompted press backlash against the self-titled ‘transparent’ President, with Politico reporting today that withholding access is just one of the ways in which his administration works to avoid the tough questions and promote their brand.
The outrage over the lack of transparency comes as much of the bill for the pricey trip will be paid for by tax payers, yet President Obama did not feel it appropriate to even release one photo of his time out on the course.
The President played with the notorious philanderer on Sunday after getting a private lesson from Woods’ former coach the day before.

HOW MUCH IT COSTS FOR A PRESIDENTIAL BOYS WEEKEND
$943,687.50: estimated cost of a trip for Air Force One from Chicago to West Palm Beach and then back to Washington, D.C.
$13,500: Cost to rent out three four-bedroom guest cottages at The Floridian for three nights
$24,000: Cost of an eight-hour private golf lesson with famed instructor Butch Harmon
$1,800: Greens fees for three guests for two rounds of golf
$1,600: Cost of four caddies for two rounds of golf
$4,620: Cost of 20 rooms at the Port St. Lucie Holiday Inn for traveling press and security detail based on the government per-diem rate
TOTAL: $989,207
Michelle’s ski trip shuts down Aspen air space
While President Obama was golfing with Tiger Woods in Florida, Michelle — who brought along a few friends and daughters Sasha and Malia — headed to the slopes.
…
We’re told some wealthy Aspen visitors were annoyed when “air space was blocked because of [the Obamas’] plane, so others couldn’t get their private jets in. Many people nearly didn’t land or had to be diverted.” We’re told the Obama family stayed at the home of Aspen Ski Company owners Jim and Paula Crown, who are big Democratic donors. Their security team occupied another entire house next door.

1.4 BILLION Spent On The Obamas In 2011 – British Taxpayers Only Spent 57.8 Million On The Royal Family
While most of America is suffering through one the worst economic downturns in U.S. history, the Obamas are living the high life at your expense. During 2011, U.S. taxpayers spent an astounding 1.4 billiondollars on the Obamas. Meanwhile, British taxpayers only spent 57.8 million dollars on the entire royal family. Does anyone else see something wrong with this picture? So where did the 1.4 billion dollars go? That money paid the salaries of their staff members, it paid for their transportation and housing costs, it paid for entertainment and vacations for the Obamas, and $102,000 was even spent on a “dog handler” for the family dog Bo. In his new book entitled “Presidential Perks Gone Royal: Your Taxes Are Being Used For Obama’s Re-election“, author Robert Keith Gray reveals some absolutely shocking details about the enormous amounts of U.S. taxpayer money that are being spent on the personal needs of the Obamas. At a time when the U.S. national debt is absolutely exploding this kind of outrageous spending is completely and totally inappropriate, but of course the mainstream media is not going to report on this because they don’t want to do anything to put the Obamas in a bad light this close to the election.
