US taxpayers spent a staggering $1.4 Billion (yes, with a B) on the Obamas, according to author Robert Keith Gray in his new book PRESIDENTIAL PERKS GONE ROYAL!
Compare that to only $57.8 million the Brits shelled out for their royals, and you have to ask what is going on with President Obama. Now word comes that he and first lady Michelle, their two daughters, and Dog Bo will be spending an extended holiday vacation in Hawaii that will cost us taxpayers more than $4 million dollars. Double whammy, wow, over the top, beyond the pale, way too much vacation time, and much more.
But not to worry about the looming fiscal cliff, high unemployment rates, a constipated Congress, and a confused and hurting electorate. “The locals and other Americans will be paying for their vacation,” says The Hawaii Reporter. A large security team including US Secret Service, Coast Guard, Navy Seals, drivers, attendants and God knows who else will command a total of 22 vehicles. A commenter details the following list of costs: The US Air Force has listed the cost of travel as high as $181,757 per flight hour for the nine hour trip for a one way total of $1,635,813. A cargo plane will fly Obama’s 22 vehicles back and forth at another cost of $258,000, and locals are estimating that Oahu’s local security outlay could run as high as $250,000!
Where America’s Royals are staying will involve these vehicles having to wind through narrow one lane roads, further inconveniencing the population. But no matter: the President doesn’t have to worry about campaign rigors any more, and the first lady can relax after her exhausting, earlier vacations.
Can’t get much better than taking all of those trips on the taxpayer’s dime unless, of course, you happen to BE one of the lowly taxpayers. Spend now, spend a bunch, and let someone else pick up the tab describes Barack Obama’s idea of retail therapy as the nation stares headlong over the fiscal cliff. And taxpayers can undoubtedly expect big hikes in the coming year. Each citizen carries $150,000 of indebtedness as a result of Barack and Co’s trillion dollar per year spending spree. And gee, we can’t even call his holiday a Christmas break anymore. Kwanza anyone?

This is why he wants a tax hike, to pay for the lavish lifestyle he and his family have acquired under false pretenses. His major concern is, not the middle class or jobs, fair weather on the golf course.
This Liar-in-Cheat/Killer and his moowchelle wife should be made to pay back all the tax money they have stolen from the American taxpayer. They are robbing us blind.
Our Country has become a Dictatorship. In a Dictatorship the Dictator and family gets to roam and enjoy the world and their subjects gets to pay for it. So shut up and keep paying. The Dictator demands it.
Just trying to figure out what this photo has to do with this story? Heck, I want to know about the split lip. Did I miss the story somewhere??
He fell off the fiscal cliff.
The excessive spending must be stopped…..why Americans still love the OBAMAS with their lucrative livestyle robbing and stealing money from all of us, despite of the thing that Barrack has fake birth certificate, stolen social security number as well questionable service card……what’s going with the Americans?
The Americans you’re referring to are the most functionally ignorant group of ill-educated dimwits in human history. Russian Communists used to call these people “Useful Idiots”. Present day Russians LAUGH at them.
You’re referring to people who can’t find Israel on a map of the world. You’re referring to people who point at Vancouver Island when asked to locate Japan.
You’re referring to people who don’t know the difference between the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. You’re referring to people who believe that the personal freedoms guaranteed in the Bill of Rights are EVIL things! You’re referring to people who haven’t the vaguest notion of what government is and how it should work or indeed what kind of government it is that they are begging for.
You’re referring to people who believe right is what you get away with and wrong is what you get caught doing.
They are NOT in the majority but they do approve of the stolen elections and blatant fraud that gains them their “free” stuff.
The list can go on and on. Bottom line? They are un-educated, mis-educated, mal-educated and utterly ignorant of the knowledge necessary to survive in this world or any other!
Does that help define “what’s going with the Americans”?
it’s just his version of aid to the needy—-poor baby just spent an undocumented amount of time stuffing ballot boxes
I wonder how this extravagance has furthered the advancement and well-being of African-blooded legal US citizens other than to embolden them to commit crimes without fear of justice because they hold a deck of race cards.
Buck Farack.
Dey gotta phooon
Two Dollars would heve been excessive for this ‘Ghetto Hop’n’ pair of commies!
Skydiver, what you said is a good one and so true. Doesn’t Moochelle look really evil in the picture above. There’s no beauty in her.
But she got booty.
As Sonny and Cher used to sing. “And the beat goes on”. Remember Barrack’s comment on the live microphone when he said to the Russian diplomat, “I’ll have more flexability after I get through the next election” Well he’s got it and here he comes. The UN gun grab is just beginning and 4 years from now we will wonder just what the heck happened in such a short time. This is going to be a 5 ticket frightening ride so you better hang onto your seats. May God help us endure these Leninist Communists.
That begs the huge unanswered question: WHERE ARE THE LEGALLY CONSTITUTED POLICE AGENCIES AND MILITARY WHEN WE ARE BEING OPENLY CONSUMED BY COMMUNISM?
WHERE ARE THE LIARS AND THIEVES WHO SWORE AN OATH THEN DID NOTHING ELSE BUT CASH PAYCHECKS WHILE WE GO UNDER?
And stop the knee-jerk reaction about our heroic military and how we mustn’t criticize them – it’s unpatriotic to do so. yada yada. Take a hard look at what is really happening!
Where the bell are they? Blowing things up in Afghanistan does NOTHING to help us HERE. The war against TERROR is being fought in Washington and the terrorists are winning while our military sits on its creases doing NOTHING.
Very heroic of them. They allowed Obama to spit in their faces repeatedly and did NOTHING. Well, the Russians LAUGH at our ignorant citizens and the world has begun to LAUGH at our military which can’t defeat a bunch of hill dwelling Afghanis. Meanwhile, back home their country is being overwhelmed by unarmed illegal immigrants that pour over the border unchecked as our Border guards obey the orders to RUN AWAY AND HIDE!!!!
Yeah, it will be a bad 4 years but made possible by the eager complicity of those LIARS who swore to defend us from it. Their next “war” will be upon the elderly and disabled – rounding them up for the slaughter. I predict they’ll WIN that one.
it’s time to arrest, convict, and sentence obama to the maxium penalty for treason and murder, and boot his transsexual michael lavaughn robinson aka michelle obama out of the country
The Bama’s and the Britts Royals at least have something in common, They are ALL a bunch of FAKES!! Parasites, are all they are and a good wormer should get rid of them! How can a supposedly intelligent people be sucked into such a brass ammount of lies and fairy tales? Semper Fi.
You know, I would love to share some of your articles but just when I think they’re going to be informative and worthy of sharing they turn out to be rhetoric with truth mixed in. For example, the above article, what is up with the picture??? Is it necessary to the article and what’s the point? If we want to be taken seriously by the masses this kind of stuff needs to take a backseat or disappear. Journalism should be facts, why stoop to the level of the MSM?
“…… just when I think they’re going to be informative and worthy of sharing they turn out to be rhetoric with truth mixed in.”
What would you prefer? Rhetoric with LIES mixed in? If so Kos and Huffy await your entrance. Tune in to MSNBC too, there are twisted “facts” there by the dozens.
She’s still an angry black woman.
