Millions out of work Obama charges taxpayers millions for his Hawaii vacation is this why no border security?
Question : Millions out of work Obama charges taxpayers millions for his Hawaii vacation is this why no border security?
The Obama’s are charging the American taxpayers the following expenses for their luxurious 11-day Hawaiian vacation:
-Mrs. Obama’s seperate flight to Hawaii: $ 63,000 (Source: White House Dossier)
-Obama’s round trip flight to Hawaii: $ 1 million (Source: GAO estimate)
- Beachfront home rentals for Secret Service and Navy Seals in Kailua ($ 1,200 a day for 14 days): $ 16,800
-White House staff accommodations at Moana Hotel: $ 134,400 ($ 400 per day for staff of 44 people—does not include meals)
-Police overtime: $ 250,000 (Source: Honolulu Police Department)
- Ambulance on stand-by: $ 10,000 (Source: Honolulu City Spokesperson)
TOTAL COST: $ 1,474,200
However, the above figure does not include several other costs, such the rental of an office building in Kailua for White House staff, additional phone lines, car rentals and fuel and surveillance and security costs incurred ahead of the president’s visit.
The following commentary on how Obama could have saved the taxpayers a few dollars, recently appeared in The Hawaii Reporter:
“They could have chosen a less expensive and more secure place to stay such as a beachfront home on the Kaneohe Marine Corps Air Station – just a two-minute drive away from the Kailuana Place property where they are now.
The president visits the military base daily to workout, bowl with his kids or enjoy the more private beach there. He also could have stayed at a home 15 minutes away on the beach fronting Bellows Air Force Base as President Bill Clinton did.”
With one in five Americans out of work, record foreclosures, record bankruptcies and a soaring national debt…it is downright shameful for this president to be treated to such luxuries at the expense of the taxpaying public.
How can anyone consider Obama to be anything more than an out-of-touch, uncaring elitist?

I smell fresh new year’s troll.
Both Bush’s and Reagan did the same thing so picking on the current president is not the problem. It is a function of the office.
