Shameful: Obama Has Spent 44 Million On Travel, More Than Any Other President

[Steve_McGarrett]

Actually it should be the Obama's. This is appalling to say the least. This non-natural born Citizen president with a proven 100% forged birth certificate and selective service registration application is wasting our taxpaying dollar on failed trips all over this nation and globe. It is a travesty.

Obama's Have Spent $44 Million On Tax Payer Travel | Wealthy Debates.com

The Obamas have spent over 44 million dollars in taxpayer money on travel and vacations. Some are even calling him the “most well-trvaeled, expensive” president in our nation’s history. As Americans head off for the long holiday weekend, let’s take a look back at some of the president’s holiday spending.

Our president vacations a lot — we’re talking $44,351,777.12 worth of “a lot,” with most expenses charged to the American taxpayer.

As of March 2014, Obama has spent more time traveling internationally than any other president, taking 31 trips since assuming office in 2009. The 119 days spent overseas have cost taxpayers millions of dollars.

Excellent. Glad to know he's doing his job.

He is "spreading the wealth" by blowing other people's money.

Being 1/2 black, he feels he is entitled to milk white people's money until he is kicked out of the WH.

Why should a president have to leave Washington DC?

No other President ever did, why should Obama?

That's not what the thread is about.

One of the President's primary jobs is foreign policy. When a President travels overseas, that is not a "vacation" you stupid, stupid, stupid fucks.

The thread is not about vacation travel if you claim $44 million

No problem with the POTUS taking a VK it just kinda sucks when Michelle and the kids head for Spain and China at taxpayer expense. No POTUS on those flights.

The economy is in the toilet and one would think that the first family would cool it on those long expensive vacations. Not so. After all its somebody elses money.

So the idiot that waves a giant sign that says "I hate Black people" at the tea party meetings is now posting on this board....surprising...

Trust me, I make as much money as you and so do many Black people I know.

Keep your stupidity to yourself...

 

[BlindBoo]

No no no, that can't be right, Hells Bells, he spent over 200 million a day on his Asian trip didn't he, Mrs. Bachmann?

 

[rightwinger]

Just for reference....how much is a President supposed to spend on travel?

of course it is

 

[jillian]

The thread's a lie, anyway... wackos

you need to stop reading BS chain emails.

Our inbox has been inundated with questions about two separate chain e-mails about President Barack Obama's use of Air Force One in 2010, and about the number of people who accompanied him on a trip to England in 2009. But the suggestion that Obama is traveling more often on the presidential plane, and traveling with larger entourages on international trips than past presidents, is badly mistaken.

The Traveling President

but it's not like it's about race or anything.

Groundswell group
Groundswell is the name of a secretive coalition of Conservative activists and journalists exposed in July 2013.[1] The group started out meeting in the offices of the Conservative legal group Judicial Watch in early 2013 and includes members such as Ginni Thomas (wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas), former Rep. Allen West, Executive Stephen Bannon of Breitbart News, former US Ambassador John Bolton and Catherine Engelbrecht, True the Vote founder.[2][3]

According to leaked documents, the group is staging "a 30 front war seeking to fundamentally transform the nation"[1] by such goals as undermining the power of former GOP strategist and Fox News analyst Karl Rove[4] along with pushing scandals such as the Benghazi bombing and the Operation Fast and Furious gun-running issue,[5] repealing the Affordable Care Act, working behind the scenes to enact voter ID laws, and blocking Obama administration nominees.[1]

Groundswell has been described as a "conservative cabal". GOP strategists responded that the group is no different than progressive organizations such as labor unions, Think Progress or JournoList.

In July 2013, Fitton was identified as a key member of Groundswell, a secretive coalition of right wing activists and journalists attempting to make radical political change behind the scenes, whose members met in the offices of Judicial Watch.[

Doesn't take much effort to discover that these folk Steve trot out are more concerned with destroying people and lying than anything else.

BTW, what's the story behind the portrayal of the First Lady and President as primates???

Obama's expensive travel to Hawaii and other resorts wouldn't be an issue if he was doing his job.
