Out campaigning and trolling for new converts in schools again.
Ummm,ummm,ummm..Barak Hussien Obama. Just like the kiddies sang.
Flying 9 hours to vegas to give a 15 minute speech on immigration and costing over $1.6 million for that speech….
Makes you wonder if Obama is serious about the debt in this country.
Why? We don’t have a spending problem, and we’ll take care of the debt through tax increases.
All the travel money is spent on good old Gov’t and military jobs. SO he’s really just investing in the country!
Too bad NO ONE in the “WH press corps” will (or has the guts to) ask why Obama is flying to Las Vegas to read a teleprompter.
What a waste. Dear leader should be demonizing Conservatives, oh wait he will do that there anyhow. FIGHT CRIME : IMPEACH OBAMA, the biggest criminal.
The man just loves flying around in his own great big areo-plane. Handsome soldiers will snap him a salute, the flight crew will be all yessir-nosir whateveryou wantsir. He’s excited that there will be a massive motorcade all for him, and ordinary people will have to wait for him to pass, and a loving crowd will cheer as he steps up to the podium.
“come to me, all my hispanic friends, come to the land of free food, free healthcare, free education for the women and children. we will let you work in the fields, the kitchens and playrooms of our young. you can mow our grassy fields, paint our mansions and all we ask is your love and your votes.”
Mr. Preezy has no problems borrowing another $1.6 million so he can take a jaunt on Air Force One and address an adoring throng of future Democrat voters. Can’t his buddies at Google and Facebook set him up with a teleconference and save that money?
On second thought, how about somebody in Congress who can actually add and subtract take away the appropriation for this inappropriate use of tax dollars? Obama said he’s done campaigning. So stop funding his campaign.
Yay 4 more years …..if we survive.
Disgraceful.
A colossal waste of our money!
and don’t forget he’s adding to his carbon footprint.
If dear POTUS does not travel anymore this month, here is a comparison of January 2012 vs. January 2013.
Total miles January 2013 = 13,740
January 2013 costs = 13,740/550 mph*$181,757 p/hr for AF1 – $4,540,620
Total air miles January 2012 = 8138 (approx.)
January 2012 cost = 8138/550 mph*$181,757 p/hr for AF1= $2,689,342
Approx. 68.837552% increase in travel and cost 2013 over 2012
Cost is based on major airport to major airport, and is for AF1 only, does not include additional aircraft, ground transportation, or any other travel related expenses. Cost per hour is based on that reported by USA Today and UK Mail, 2010.
Amazing, truly amazing! The first commenter on Amazon summarizes the obscenity of it all!

don’t forget about the carbon footprint he’s adding
Thank you for the nitty-gritty details. Truly appalling!

Makes a big deal out of man made global warming in his inaugural speech then takes his private jet to Vegas for no reason? Sounds about right. Sacrifice is for the little people.
How much is this trip costing the US Taxpayers?
Three or more planes, flight crews, on the ground staff, etc., etc. I think there are better places these dollars could be spent. We do have televisions and radios which could broadcast the speech.
I see Dear Leader has been challenged by a CNN (be still my heart!) reporter to prove his skeet shooting prowess. I wonder if the soon to be mandatory “Have Secret Service teach me who to shoot skeet” sessions will appear on the public calendar? Wait. I already know the answer. Never mind.
Priorities. Wouldn’t that 1.6 been better spent in the foodstamp program that illegals are not supposed to but do use.
History says Mr. Obama will sleep in tomorrow after another exhausting “campaign style” event.
The White House schedule for tomorrow says “no public schedule”.
because he doesn’t care about the taxpayer… he care about his own selfish plan
WAKE UP AMERICA !!!!
