+/- $1,000,000 for every unemployed American. Truly classy.

The Obama family has wracked up a bill of $74 million, charged to the taxpayer, in vacations since taking office, according to recently obtained records.



The watchdog group Judicial Watch (http://www.judicialwatch.org/) filed a lawsuit to find out how much money the first family has spent on luxury getaways since Obama took office.


Documents, obtained after Freedom of Information Act requests were ignored, reveal that the total figure is at least $74,124,562.48.


“Now that we’ve sued, the Secret Service has stopped ignoring our requests for details on more of the costs of Barack Obama’s luxury vacations,” Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton said on Wednesday.


The records show that just two of the most recent Obama family vacations cost taxpayers more than $5 million dollars.


Secret service accommodations alone for the 2014 Martha’s Vineyard and Honolulu vacations cost taxpayers $1,243,057.


“Taxpayers, the U.S. Air Force and the Secret Service are being abused by Barack Obama, who too often treats Air Force One and his security detail like some of sort of



kingly entourage.”http://www.infowars.com/documents-obama-has-spent-74-million-in-taxpayer-dollars-on-holidays/

They do.

Wouldn't it be amazing for one of these control freaks that sit in the throne to set a good example and maybe cut down on vacations during a time when 93 million folks are out of work?

but, they wont, they are scumbags and give zero fucks about anyone but themselves.

Think of all the jobs this creates. -Zippy

That's why he announced yesterday that now is a good time to implement a tax on oil.... something like .25 to .40 per gallon. Now that the prices are low, this is great time to do it. What of a son of a bitch that piece of crap is.

Not necessarily. Many presidents owned property in their home states and that's where they would vacation. I don't think Clinton owned a home in Arkansas. Obama has a home, but he does not seem to go there. Carter went to Camp David a lot, as did other presidents. I don't know that Obama has ever been there.

$74-million? He must be golfing with those new deca-plated titanium laser precision clubs.

BTW, it costs over $500-million a year just to operate the White House.

Yes but why buy your own when you can rent a pimp palace on the public dole?

Hardly newsworthy, given the amount of games that Bush got in during his tenure.
