So how much was your family’s vacation budget last year? Did the planned time away from home necessarily shrink from a week to a long weekend? Or were things a little too tight to fit in a getaway at all?
Well, sorry if you were stretched a bit too thin – but the Barack Hussein Obama family doesn’t have to share your pain ~ Obama Family’s 2014 Christmas Vacation in Hawaii Cost Taxpayers $3,672,798 in Transportation Expenses.
Records obtained from the U.S. Department of the Air Force by Judicial Watch reveal that…
• the Obama family’s 2014 Christmas vacation to Honolulu, Hawaii, cost taxpayers $3,672,798 in flight expenses alone
• Martha’s Vineyard August, 2014 vacation cost $400,666.30 in transportation
• $2,425,085.50 was spent in transportation expenses for Obama’s July, 2014 West Coast fundraising trip
• Obama Hawaii Christmas vacations over the past three years have cost taxpayers $15,540,515.10 just in travel expenses
These figures aren’t too surprising when you consider that the first family’s air travel costs us an astounding $206,337.00 per hour.
SPECIAL RULES FOR SPECIAL PEOPLE
Apparently the “O” in Obama stands for “oblivious;” the outlandish extravagance continues unchecked ~
For their Christmas 2014 vacation, the Obama family rented the same plush oceanfront estate they’ve used for the past several years in the wealthy neighborhood of Kailua, located near Honolulu on the island of Oahu.
According to the London Telegraph, the four-member Obama family spent its extended two-week vacation at a palatial mansion with: “13 bedrooms, a prime location on Kailua beach and all the mod cons that the First Family could ask for … Beyond the lawn lies the famous beach, up which the waves roll majestically, 24 hours a day.”
How many regular “folks” – as they’re fond of calling us – have been able to afford annual vacations since the Obama’s moved into 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue? I think Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton speaks for most of us peasants ~
“The Obamas’ travel is out of control. They are treating the Air Force One like an Uber ride. Our military deserves better. The Secret Service is stretched to the breaking point by President’s Obama’s abusive travel.”
