First lady Michelle Obama’s separate voyage to Hawaii promises to cost taxpayers tens of thousand in extra dollars, as her separate entourage and hefty flying costs pile on the costs.
The military jet flight alone is priced at more than $60,000, according to government estimates. But that’s only the beginning. The additional cargo flight that often accompanies the first lady on such a trip must also be paid for, as well as the limos and other accoutrements it will contain.
As she will be separated from the presidential security bubble, Michelle will require her own entourage of Secret Service protection, in addition to the staffers who will be leaving early to go to Hawaii with her.
The total tab will certainly be in excess of $100,000, and possibly quite a bit more.

The Obama’s hate each other and it’s costing us hundreds of thousands of dollars.
I think you are right. I think she just wants to get away from him as much as she can with her friends and we are forced to pay.
The good news is she will be packing next Christmas.
YES!!!
Yeah for who Fat Bastard? You know he eat’s babies right?
Don’t count your chickens before they hatch!

Nobody can deny that Obama has been a complete failure to America. and his wife MOOCHIE thinks she has a unlimited vacation spending budget on the tax payers dime ———-
The First Lady has taken 42 days of vacation in the past year, including a $375,000 vacation in Spain and a four-day ski trip to Vail, Colorado, where she spent $2,000 a night on a suite at the Sebastian hotel. The first family’s nine-day stay in Martha’s Vineyard
was also costly, with rental of the Blue Heron Farm property alone costing an estimated $50,000 a week. ‘Michelle also enjoys drinking expensive booze during her trips. She favours martinis with top-shelf vodka and has a taste for rich sparking wines. ‘The vacations are totally Michelle’s idea. She’s like a vacation junkie. She can’t schedule enough vacation getaways, and she lives from one to the next – all the while sticking it to hardworking Americans. Michelle Obama’s family trip to South Africa and Botswana in June cost taxpayers well over $424,000, according to new accounting based on Air Force manifests obtained by Judicial Watch, a taxpayer watchdog group. The use of Air Force aircraft alone for the June 21-27 trip cost $424,142, and that doesn’t include the food, lodging, and ground transportation for the 21 family and staff members which included her daughters listed as “Senior Staff” so the tax payers would pick up the tab for them in addition Michelle also listed her Hair Dresser and Make-up Artist as “Staff Memnbers” so the taxpayers would have to pay for there trip and all expenses — you gotta love it MOOCHIE never quits spending our tax dollars — no wonder she was Booed at the NASCAR event — Michelle acts like she is Marie Antoinett “Let them not eat cake while I drink Sparkling wine and eat Lobster”
Last year the Obama’s Christmas trip to Hawaii cost more than $1 million. He covered the cost of his family’s accommodation, but the rest was covered by the taxpayers. The bill to house Secret Service agents and Navy Seals in beach front accommodation stretched to $16,800. A further hotel bill of $134,400 covered 24 White House staff staying in the Moana Hotel at a rate of $400 a day. The estimate, by the Hawaii Reporter, also included $250,000 for local police overtime, $1 million for the president’s own round trip flight to Hawaii on Air Force One, and $10,000 for a local ambulance to accompany the presidential motorcade, and once again Moochies Hair Dresser and Make-up Artist were counted as her “White House Staff Members”
Whine-Whine-Whine, I’ll bet you didn’t keep track of how much Laura Bush spent while in the White House. Do yourself a favor and GET-A-LIFE!!
thank you Michael
Yeah Michael.. “Thanks a Lot”. You and Mark have helped give is The.Worst.President.in.American.History.
good job.
Idiots
You call him the worst because he has nothing to work with, but the American people!….. George Bush other hand spent America’s money and went to war. Wars aren’t free as long as they’re being waged, it’s going to cost to get in them and Obama paid the price to get out of them. Why in the world do you believe America is in the predicament it is in now, you think where in it because of a four year term? If you believe that I’m sorry to tell you but your wrong.
Don’t think the blame-bush thing works anymore. It was pretty iffy after he raised the deficit higher than all other presidents combined, but 3 years later, it’s really souding pathetic. Is that all you’ve got?
Take a flying leap!!!
Why don’t you two nancy boys get a room?
You never saw Laura Bush going around in thousands of dollars worth of designer clothes or jewelry and she never took vanity vacations like Michelle and her Spanish holiday.
Laura was a home body. My GAWD! Laura was sooo boring. Very nice lady though. She should have gotten out more. Enjoy life and all it has to offer.
Enjoy life yes. Enjoy life on my dime HELL NO !!!
Boring to you might be peaceful to another. I prefer peace.
Laura was a class act, Moochie is trash and living high on your money.
Yeah, Aleister Crowley must have been a good dad. ~Smirk~
Oh, you don’t know about that ehh? Google it, maybe then you won’t be defending the traitors wife. Barry is no better.
ok, I googled it…now what?
“Enjoy what life has to offer ” at taxpayer’s expense ……let them eat cake
Especially when it’s on the backs of the middle-class. Isn’t
it time we did something about that 1 %?
Can’t stand the truth, can you, michael?
Michael WISHES he WAS Michelle.
Michael pretends he IS Michelle.
Laura Bush didn’t occupy the white house as first lady during one of the BIGGEST GOVERNMENT DEBT CRISISES IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD! Not to mention the rest of the country is suffering through a second great depression while she spends tens of thousands of taxpayer money. Get a clue kid.
Can YOU name how many vacations she took? She has a couple of aides, the Klingon War bride has about 17.
President Obama has spent all or part of 26 days “on vacation” during his first year as president.
President Reagan, in 1981, spent all or part of 42 days away from the White House “on vacation” at his home in Santa Barbara, Calif, according to Knoller.
President George W. Bush spent even more time away from the presidential mansion in the nation’s capital than Reagan. Of the 77 total “vacation” trips the former president made to his Texas ranch while in office, nine of them — all or part of 69 days — came during his first year as president in 2001,
http://www.factcheck.org/2010/01/president-obamas-vacation-days/
let’s not redirect the vacation issue to the sissy boy in chief it’s teh EXTRAVAGANCE OF MOOCHELLE!!
This is a discussion on the vacations that Michelle Obama takes, not the Pres.
mrrationalhbg,
I applaud you good job.
Um….Fact-check is cosidered a non-credible source.
funny. she IS the Klingon war bride, but I read somewhere she has something like 30 assistants in her court. like maids in waiting back in the King Henry days
Do us all a favor and get lost. What a stupid post. What a stupid person. You Idjut.
No, but I am sure you did. Have a nice day!
You’ll be whine when SHTF mikey… Where’s my govment monies I’ll wait for fema… uggg this family has cost us enough pain and suffering.. You pawn..
If in not misstaken Laura Bush had only 1 stafemember.
Michael, as an independent, and hating the Bush presidency, Mrs. bush is in a different class. They spend most of their vacations at their Texas ranch, or at Camp David.
Mrs Bush is a librarian who always exhibited simple tastes, was steadfastly at her husbands side, and never showed her contempt for the rest of America.
Michelle Obamanation is a modern day Marie Antoinette, completely out of touch with the reality of her position and shows disdain for the condition of those who support her opulent lifestyle.
I predict that her family will also suffer a dramatic end, for her excesses, and like Princess Anastasia there will be eternal speculation about the fate of her children.
Beyond sick. I predict that YOU will also suffer a dramatic end thanks to Darwin
Oracle your imagination has run amok. What type of life style do you live and please do me a favor stop talking to yourself so damn much I can smell your consciences’ breath bullish all the way over here.
The people currently in power seem quite like some of the people I met as grocery market cashier, while in school. They paid for high-end food products with Food Stamps, feign arrogance when they were not allowed to purchase alcohol and cigarettes with Food Stamps and then put all their groceries in a high-end luxury vehicle. There is something about human trash that is not being lost in the reproductive process, but expanded, like a contageous disease.
Bingo!
The Bush’s typically vacationed at their Crawford Tx. ranch. The Left never tired of complaining about all of these ‘vacations’ yet are strangely silent on Obama’s golfing addiction (Bush quit after 9-11 “because it just isn’t right at a time like this,”) and HIs and Michelle’s ongoing 10-Star vacations around the world.
The Left’s cognitive-dissonance and double-standards for their elites are truly breathtaking to behold.
“The Left’s cognitive-dissonance and double-standards for their elites are truly breathtaking to behold”.
Beautifully said, and as accurate as a laser guided bomb. Your sentence deserves repeating.
Respectfully.
Agreed. That sentence is definitely worth repeating. Again and again.
Wahhhhh!!! But Bush! Sniffle sniffle – Bush!!!! Wahhhh, Mooch DESERVES seperate vacations. Eat your peas!!!!! Wahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh – but Bush!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey genius, the USA is BROKE! Bush is not POTUS, hasn’t been for 3 years. Put down the bong and FOCUS.
Hey Darrel I think you’re on to something there lol-Can we fit that on a bumper sticker?
Laura Bush and George Bush never came close to the taxpayer money our King and his angry, gluttonous wife spend on themselves on this kind of BS. Remind “Date Night”?
The Bush’s went to either Camp David or their own home in Texas for Vacation. They never pulled this kind of crap on us.
Idiots like yourself are exactly why we now have the absolute worst president in history putting his feet on OUR priceless desk in OUR Oval Office in OUR White House.
A vainglorious, conceited, arrogant and stupid man with a chip on chip shoulder about America, with a perpetually angry and hateful wife who wants to dictate what we eat and feed our children, while she eats whatever the hell she wants on OUR dollar.
And you have the nerve to rag on the Bush family?
Thanks a lot.
A whole lot.
I do agree with you, but there is a picture with Bush with his feet on the desk in the oval office. They both showed signs of disrespect in that case. Even the Pres.should be expected to have a budget even in vacations. Thank you

good grief…have you never heard of Tinyurl.com?
http://tinyurl.com/792uv5s
Yeah, it’s not cheap going to Crawford, TX and don’t forget the cost of putting all those Secret Service guys up at the Motel 6 in Waco. That’s not free either.
LOL Larry! Actually, according to a retired Secret Service person, a couple of times a month GW would throw a bunch of steaks on the grill at Crawford, in order to thank them for what all they do on their jobs. Not a bad thing…..
ah, you need to get a life and do some research…Laura Bush didn’t vacation all over the world, and she didn’t flaunt it in tax payer’s faces. Check the records buddy.
Bush had two, count them, two assistants. Moochelle has 24. WTH? Most presidents of countries don’t get that. She is just a wife. Not the one mistakenly elected, the wife. Get it. Moocher.
Oh ya, don’t forget the mother-in-law shacking up in the White House. The Beverly Hillbillies would be embarrassed.
You must be on welfare and therefor you defend this commie.
What? Her trips to Crawford where they owned the ranch as opposed to 75k in rent? Pull your head out honey.
Right. Those infrequent trips to the Texas outback were comparable to Hawaii, Spain, and the Hamptons. You get a life dufus.
Well Mikee, IF Laura Bush had one-fourth the contempt for the people’s money we ALL would have known about it because people like you would’ve squealed like stuck pigs, hippie. The fact is we the people who pay the taxes HAVE a life and you who live off of us don’t like it when we protest the unnecessary wasteful flush-down- the-toilet spending Moochelle does.
laura had a very small group of people as staff. she never invited 40 people to go with her at our expense. perhaps you need to quote facts which i no is hard for liberals, when no facts available just tell a lie as you did.
Mouthing off without any facts is a lib trademark and you, michael are a prime example. Why dont you investigate how many trips the Bushes made during holiday periods. Very, very few. Why? an person interested in facts other than BS like you spew would ask? Out of respect for those people who would be taken away from their families during the holidays. All the people in these two entourages will not be spending Christmas morning with their families because the Nobamas just dont care. George and Laura did. If the Dems/Libs/ Bush haters ever did actual research before they engaged their tongues or keyboards and spewed their mindless and pointless attacks some of us conservatives would like to hear what you have to say. But as long as you just blather whatever crosses your mind without forthought we wish you would stick to twitter.
Well said.
I agree with Michael. Do you all really believe it matters? From now until you die it doesn’t matter who the president is or the first lady your going to always be the tax-payer paying..I suggest you deal with it because nothing you say or do can be done about it because you don’t make enough money nor do you own a major corporation making million and billions of dollars. You are always going to be screwed. You are of the Pied Piper.
Owell,
Please take your apathetic self over to the nearest OWS encampment, while riding your bicycle or PTS, or walk I don’t give a crap but WAKE T.F.U.
Look,I would never have nothing to do with OWS. That was the most stupidest thing I ever saw. Nothing was accomplished and when hands started getting slapped and when the law start telling people to get the f’up and go home…the American people got the f’up and went home. This article is stupid instead of OWS we need to occupy the damn cable company and all these other entities that’s over charging us. Stop blaming it on the Obama’s, blame yourself because your to stupid to learn how to have your cake and eat it too. Check this out….Headlines….NOT EVERYONE IN AMERICA IS COMPLAINING.
You missed the point. George W and Laura went on vacation TOGETHER. They traveled together. The Obama’s travel separately which doubles the costs. Besides the Bush’s would go to Texas, to THEIR ranch. We don’t have to pay to rent THEIR ranch. Barry and Michelle think they are royalty and think they are entitled to spend as much of our money on themselves as they want.
You idiot they don’t think their f’in royalty. That’s the President and the First Lady.
LB’s travels never became an issue……….Mark, Michael……never became public embarrassments……..were never “in your face” episodes of conspicuous consumption………..and were never the actions of a self-aggrandizing,disingenuous pseudo-intellectual elitist with a racist chip on her shoulder.
Michelle, Michael, and Mark? Pant loads all.
Michael-
Ignoring the truth, doesn’t make the truth go away. Michelle Obama, like her husband is a disgrace.
That’s because Laura didn’t take any… LOL You’re part of the problem if you think it’s OK for elected officials to spend like there is no tomorrow!!
michael, I’ve GOT a life — I am a professional, and I have many interests. However, my life does not include taking lavish trips, eating expensive food and drinking expensive booze while working people foot the bill. Laura Bush didn’t live that way, either; neither did Laura Bush’s. You can do your childish sarcasm thing all day. Doesn’t change facts, and it doesn’t make what she does right.
Well…..I don’t recall hearing about Laura Bush acting like Marie Atoinette. Guess I missed those stories.
(oops — forgot, Everything is Bush’s fault — whichever Bush is appropriate at the time.)
P.S. Why DOESN’T this bother you? You must be a student or other non-taxpayer, otherwise, you’d be upset at middle-income folks paying for vacations for the rich…Oh, wait a minute — isn’t that what studets and slackers ARE supposed to be upset aout right now, the unfair privileges of the rich?
where in the hell do you people get your information. Faux news. FYI the Obamas have spent a fraction of what Bush, Clinton, and Bush spent. I will say this though Obama does play a lot of golf. Bush ran and worked out for about two hours a day. Thats about the same as playing
a round of golf. Dont ya think.
Bush was over 60, I doubt very seriously he worked out for 2 hours.
Bush was in his early 50s when elected. He was always an athletic person and was the owner of a professional sports team. Two hours a day of exercise is excessive, even for professional athletes. Most adults will be fit with daily exercise that lasts no more than 15 to 30 minutes.
George W had a resting heart rate of 52. While you probably don’t understand what that means, I make it simple for you. He worked out.
No. thats not the same. Golf takes about 3.5 – 4.0 hours for a round of 18 holes and thats not exercise.
Furthermore, Bush was a workaholic and Obama does not show that tendency.
Finally, show me some figures where Bush or Clinton spent more. If you want to shoot from the hip with comments, then you have no credibility unless you can back up those claims
Obama is an “ego-holic”.
and Bush wasn’t
Are you really that insane?? Or are you just acting like it?
Comparing 3 years, to 8 years? Comparing going home, to Texas, to your own ranch and working, VS. renting out an entire floor at a very expensive hotel in Spain, for your wife and 40 of her friends?
You really want to compare that?
Typical liberal response.. insult first and test your intelligence lol.. no facts, and if you use facts you follow fox news.. go occupy the ports and collect your welfare checks
And YOU know a LOT about doing THAT, don’t you, Mr. Callous Palm.
Yet another typical liberal response. Snide, rude and perverted with absolutely no cooth.
JC you seem to really be a nice guy by the way you tlak.
Bush 43 worked into the NIGHT! Obumscum knocks off around 2:30pm and plays BB with his homeys.
Heh. Levin reads his work schedule (available to the public) every day. It’s always something like”
10 AM: daily briefing
1 PM: speech at Georgetown (or a campaign event.)
And that’s it. Seriously, how can these two be admired?
Where in the hell do people like you get your information? The back of a cereal box? Faux brains is better to the point. Another complete waste of space heard from today.
Bush did all this at the White House on a track that was put in so Clinton wouldn’t have his first heart attack before he left office. Obama causes gridlock wherever he goes to chase a little round ball. We should just build a course for him somewhere, but I am sure he would be board with it quickly. Obama will not be re-elected anyway so lets just suck it up until he is booted out in 2012
You forget, the Bushs’ favored going to their homes for vaca….Papa to Maine and Bubba to the ranch. Hell, most of us wouldn’t complain if Moochelle wanted to helo out to Camp David every weekend, it’s just the taking of multiple aircraft and the entourage she drags along.
HAHA! Where do you get your information? That is the funniest thing I have read in months. Obama spend LESS then the last 5 Presidential terms. Keep drinking the kool-aid Mark
Well, he doesn’t get it from the Tijuana Times, Ralph. Learn the language.
Obama has spent more than ALL Presidents from Washington to the Bush’s. Do your research
Your diet of liberal Kool-Aid has given you the IQ of a swim fin, Mark Bressan (see how I capitalized the first letters of your name).
Outside of correctly stating that Barry is playing more golf than Tiger Woods on crack, every statement you made is ridiculously untrue. Are you a relative of Nancy Pelosi by any chance?
I suggest smoking less pot, getting off your parent’s couch, and getting a job – preferably not with the government.
How about that? A dimwit who still supports Obama. Please tell us all why he is such a terrific leader. I’d love to hear it.
As usual, you Obama worshipers just make sh_t up whenever you don’t like the facts.
How do you deal with yourselves? The last three years have been an irrefutable, nation wrecking disaster, and yet you still say crap like this?
Your a pathetic liar, and you disgust me.
Excuse me while I blow some chunks in your name.
No F_cking Way is that the same, you twink.
what we think is your an idiot. your comparing 8 yrs of bush with less than 3 yrs of obama. pull your hed out , take a deep breath.
obama will far exceed any modern day president if by some evil chance hes re-elected. running to stay in shape and be fit cant be cpmpared playing golf for plesure. once again ,if liberals have no facts,tell a lie. its a life style.
You post defies reason. Take your meds.
You’re a *ucking idiot!
You’re an idiot!
Data, please. And be sure to include about Laura always flying with her posse, instead of her husband.
Why do you like the obama’s? Can kinda understand, when it took some net research to find out his crooked past, but now that so much is in the open, why do you keep following these two?
In addition to last year’s costs, we have to add that the back-up plane was parked in Hilo, Hawaii. It was used by Nancy Pelosi and her entourage when they went to Kona, on the Big Island of Hawaii. All of those costs for transportation, lodging, food and security must also be added. For this year’s Christmas trip, I would imagine that the backup plane would be similarly situated since Hilo, Hawaii has a military base as part of the airport. Who is flying on the backup plane has not been disclosed, but I would suspect it would be someone in the line of succession.
I bet MoochMORE thinks her little trips to “inspire” kids to move their bodies around are such a sacrifice on her part that she deserves all these vaycays. After all, grinding your groove in public with Beyonce and making clown faces at kids is tough work.
Hey! She did just break the jumping jacks record, I’ll have you know… Well, not her personally, but the thousands of sycophants who participated. I am sure she did a few, I heard the Washington Monument tilted a bit more during the exhibit. So Shelly, needs a month in Hawaii… What’s the problem?
Someone should keep a running tally on Mrs. Obama’s vacations.
Ellie Light, you’re a pitiful whiner. That wasn’t a comment you wrote. It was darn near a short story. Stop being an angry — and you’re feel better. Get over it. Now smile and go take a nice vacation and try to enjoy your own life.
Why does the first lady need a make up artist? Do rich people not know how to put on make up? Or is it more important to not let the peasants see the real you?
hey, when did dumb liberals start reading this web site.
Oh, part of the Obama minions beginning to campaign, I guess
If you research it you will see that M Obama did not list her kids as senior staff ect. But that was taken from the official Air Force manifest. When the Air force flies VIPs on their passenger planes they break down the personnel manifest according to importance. You are either senior staff or staff. The military has forms and SOPs for every thing . And you will fit neatly into one of the provided boxes. No creating a new box for ” kids of a VIP” . The AF was merely accounting for everyone aboard the plane according to importance. More Obama derangement syndrome.
The Wh still hasn’t released the passenger list for the Air Force One joyride around lower Manhattan in 2009. Who knows how many donors and Chicago freeloaders were jammed onto that ill-fated flight?
You realize this is all part of the fundamental change Obama promised. You can’t collapse the economy without spending every dollar you can.
I have been thinking about who Michelle is trying to imitate, and I finally figured it out. Think Madame Ceausescu, wife of Communist leader that ruled Rumania until the regime collapsed in 1989. They escaped in a helicopter, then his fellow Communists deserted him, they were captured and executed Dec. 25, 1989. Some now say they were shot, but when this happened, the word was they were stoned to death by the people they oppressed.
If you took the the trouble to do a little honest research you wuld find that the taxpayers are NOT footing the bill for the first lady’s vacation. The ONLY public expense has been the Secret Service detail.
cheryl your nuts
No–they do. Hate each other.
Yes you are correct!
What? Are too salty? Need to be roasted? Need to be shelled? Don’t just leave us hanging: complete your sentence.
you’re*
What about ’em?
why would she want to hang out with a homosexual?
That is not fair. Barry is Bi, not homo. Just ask Larry Sinclair and Barry’s butt buddies at the Chicago gay bath houses.
Obama is such a FAILURE, that now even the Kenyans are saying he was born in Hawaii – http://www.ObamaReleaseYourRecords.blogspot.com/2011/09/failed-e-verify-letter-to-barack-obama.html
Now that is funny. Much better than the rest of the comments trying figure out which White House spent more money on vacation. FYI, they are allotted a certain amount to travel. They just seem to flaunt it a bit more, Mostly because past presidents, went home for the Holidays so these seem like extravagant trips and by our standards they are a tad bit over the top; I guess they do not want to spend Christmas in Sweet Home Chicago!!!!
*fiesta..not siesta
I don’t begrudge Obama his vacations. being president is a hard job, even when you’re doing it poorly, as he is. but I do begrudge not-proud-of-my-country Michelle Antoinette spending 100 times more on a holiday than I would (if I could afford one at all!)
I can’t wait until they’re back in Chicago again, free to hang out all they want with Rashid and Mona Khalidi and Bill and ‘Dine Ayers. and if there’s a G-d in heaven that will be in January 2013.
Obama has never worked a full day in his life. Please. factor in the golf games, vacations, and endless parties in Our White House and you’ll find little or no time left for “work”.
I wish it was only costing us a few hundred thousand per year! It’s more like a few hundred thousand per trip! It’s time these schmucks get kicked to the curb! The sooner the better!!!
What a coincidence, I hate the obamas.
I was surprised when Reggie Love left. THAT was Obama’s traveling buddy.
I think he was his SHOWER buddy, if ya node a meen.
You know a lot about “drooling” don’t you, towel boy?
Yes there have been insiders that indicate the marriage is in trouble.
I bet you hate yourself or someone your involved with and must can’t afford christmas presents or something. Next time you make a comment say some a little more intelligent dummy.
I think you are SO conservative on the one hundred grand. a million more likely.
Dogpile it.
At least Marie Antoinette was okay with the plebes eating cake.
Actually she said EAT YOUR PEAS… we don’t even get Cake!
Ha! “Let them eat peas!” I love it! We need to get this mooch a huge, white wig to complete her transformation to the new “Michelle Antoinette à la Rose.”
Let them eat cat food.
Actually, Marie Antoinette was terribly misquoted by history. What she actually said was, “Let them eat c*nt!!” After all, she WAS French.
Even if Moochie allowed us to way cake, we couldn’t afford to buy any.
Will any of the press question Jay-Jay about this? Didn’t Obama recently issue a memo regarding curtailing excess costs, including transportation?
Because he’s the teflon don to this bunch of wimpy pups called the media. They worship him as their liberal/socialist god who is willing to
go forth with the tired & ingrate doctrine they all learned from their
outrageous college professors who know not the real world of hard work and earning a days wage.
Elect Patriots- not politicians ! (but then,where are the Patriots?)
Good Point!
The WH “press corps” has NOTHING to do all day (re: “Obama Daily Schedule”)
SO??? why dont they ASK? why ‘FLOTUS Michelle’ has to do EVERYTHING ‘seperate’ from Obama and cost We Taxpayers: “$xxx,xxx” just for Her selfish trips…?
(I understand Michelle grew-up rather ‘spoiled & stuck-up’…)
Reply to self – just found out it wasn’t a memo – it was an Executive Order!!!! Linked on Drudge.
yes but the rules do not apply to him as usual. The kool aid drinders always try to justify the Obama’s behavior and spending.whine whind but Bush LOL
Not a memo…an Executive Order. EO 13589.
Not to mention the fact that all the people in the entourage are going to be separated from their families and friends during the entire holiday season. So thoughtful of SWMBO and “the president.”
What’s your obsession with other people fuc’ing themselves? Can’t do it FOR them, Limpy?
Your language is terribly fowl, JC. I am becoming offended so could you please refrain yourself during public posting?
Hey JC,
Why don’t you go fuc# off and die, you freaking lib- everyone of you should have your asses kicked for the fuckin# spew you say and have nothing to back it up. Read the US Constitutuion and see if any of it applies to you- if not, get the fuc# out of the USA- you don’t belong here, prick
well said Nelly. I hadn’t thought of that. No president should travel on Christmas. They should invite family to visit them so staff can be with their families.
Strawman. Nobody said presidents should not travel at Christmas.
Just found this site. Have noticed an obvious difference in posters here. People make intelligent, reasoned points. and then some junior-highers come on and giggle and mutter profanity, while licking the obamas’ boots.
What is the appeal about these two? It’s obviously a sham marriage, their policies benefit the rich and wall street, and they want to destroy the middle class. Sure, they’ll do some things for the real poor, but mostly it’s just to gain control. Once there’s no independent, working class to interfere, where’s the limit on their power?
Seriously, this isn’t a dorm discussion after a few bowls. This is the future of the country, and if you’re only here to insult people, you should grow up and research. Don’t you WANT your children and grand-children to have the freedom you’ve had?
Finally, a really substantial, well-researched reply.
She’s probably reeling against Larry Sinclairs latest web update.
Google it, its hilarious.
Wow, I had never even heard of this guy, I had heard rumors Barry was gay, but this is some pretty damming evidence if it is true. Of course this will never see the light of day, like almost everything else about this joke of a POTUS.
Have you ever heard of Man’s Country in Chicago where Obama is a member? The media sure loves to find out the scum on Repubs but keeps anything negative hidden about Obama.
Bob,
Not to mention that Obummer had a “body man” with the name of a gay porn star, Reggie Love!
Awwww JC….do you need help finding someone? Go to Obamao’s old stomping ground, “Man’s Country on Clark St. in Chicago. I am sure if you drop Barry’s name they will fix you right up.
^Neat-o
Keep posting, JC. Maybe someday somebody will notice you. Probably not, but maybe.
More like a grass hut Kenyan goat humper too ugly to get a woman.
Michelle resembles a caged animal…I don’t think she’s happy with the daily drain of being held in such low regard by the vast majority of Americans. She could really stand to lose a few pounds around the hips and thighs, disgusting figure on this woman, disgusting!
Amen Brother!
I’ve not seen too many articles about her fabulously toned arms lately, either.
Her a s s is so big, that when she hauls a s s she has to make two trips!
Now that’s there’s funny Gunny G!!!!!!!!!
Should have read now that’s funny Gunny G
We Love her. We can’t wait to put her and her husband up on a shelf. . .in the closet with the rest of the junk.
JC obviously means “Jungle Chucker,” right? Your language places you firmly in the 60 IQ range and straight out of the jungle and deep in the gutter. You so proud of yo Great Black Leader and his beatch – bet yo mama is just as proud of you.
he like to refer to her as his mammy..
JC, the way you are talking, completes my view of Obama supporters.
Whoaaaa. Double the dose of Prozac, crotch tugger. DOUBLE DOSE!!
JC, are you being paid to post these nasty comments? Trolling rep gone bad?
you mad? Someone crack’n on your ho?
If it FLOTUS, flush it.
Go! MrsO.
MrO: go on vacation with your family, don’t worry about us or what’s going on in Congress.
I’m so tired of hearing both of them spew their platititudes, their disparaging remarks on everything from our eating habits to our work ethics that I wish they had gone on vacation last month.
Mr&MrsO: stay in Hawaii as long as you like. We need the rest.
LOL! Reminds me of the great scene from Fiddler on the Roof:
“Rabbi, Rabbi! Is there a blessing for the Czar?”
“Yes, there is a blessing for the Czar: ‘May G-d bless and keep the Czar … far away from us!'”
I can pray that prayer for the Obamas and give a hearty AMEN!
This is what one would expect from a hater of the white race. (read her thesis and you’ll know to what I refer).
The Marie Antoinette of modern day. It is shameful how this lady spends the taxpayers money with total disregard.
A disgrace on the White House. The quicker they are gone the better.
AMEN!
Michelle deserves the extra days of vacation in Hawaii. After all, she is exhausted from breaking the jumping-jacks records. I remember Reagan staying in DC for Christmas so staff, etc. would be close to family. Unfortunately, Michelle and family have a sense of entitlement.
Great comment about the jumping jacks
You must understand Christmas probably was never in their lives before coming into office, they way he was raised. When was the last time he celebrated Christmas. He was a practiciong Muslin (?)
@maggier: LOL. And regarding Reagan, the man had a heart and class, and he truly cared about others and the nation.
Sadly, those are traits utterly missing in our current President and his wife too…
Seems to be the problem of most of the people in the country, they seemto have a sense of entitlement and can’t quite figure out it’s the hardworking, taxpaying Americans footing the bill. WAY TO LEAD BY EXAMPLE MOOCHIE!
I think part of the reason for separate planes is to keep the media/ photographers away. The WH does not want the public to see who the first grifter takes on all of her extravagant vacations. It might embarrass her husband!
Indeed…
Dosent Michelle try to take every family relative she has on every Offical “FLOTUS” trip…?
(re: when She travels the “media” is NOT allowed to report on who she takes…)
More of the ‘transparency’ and unification that Barry promised!!
Fairness, rich vs. poor. This family does everything on the tazpayers dime and has no concerns related to the costs of his vacations and run for the presidency (Oops, I mean policy meetings with the people.).
Too many stupid Americans that don’t realize that the president and politicians are the downfall of this country.
Have they ever gone at the same time? I still think this marriage is a fraud and
all the perks are just to keep her happy so he can get elected again or I bet they would be divorced. So let’s see skippy explain this if any of the press
even ask, hardly likely.
Skippy…LOL.
I couldn’t agree more. I think the marriage and the kids are a fraud. Until someone can show me a picture of Mooochelle pregnant, I’ll continue to believe that.
Hey Lizzie…I have no facts except my gut and what I’ve seen…but have always felt this marriage was some sort of business arrangement or cover (she’s the beard.) Their embraces and kisses are like two ice cubes bumping in a glass. There’s no warmth between them. He’s always pawing at the older daughter…doesn’t seem as fond of the fat one. Loves to shake hands and hug men.
Just saw a photo of her in profile…the million jumping jacks didn’t work.
The constant hand holding is a dead give away. No couple even happily
married ones do that all the time. She’s in it for the perks and we have to pay.
When was the last time you saw Moochall and Barry in a photo together? And hat is Barry doing with all his free time since losing his tea bagging buddy Reggie Love?
Mrs. Obama thinks of herself as royalty, and us her unworthy subjects. And why not? She acts like a queen, making her spineless husband look bad.
Oh well, another five years and we will be done with them.
If she is royalty, the only throne she will EVER sit on is a double wide commode.
We all get some vacation time (those of us with real jobs)…. And if we are lucky enough to be working out of a great vacation spot at that time; we pay for our spouse and family to come along – hey why not? So if the Fund Raiser/Campaigner In-Chief is out on “business” – so what??? Just pay for the Bride & Kiddies (and Mom-in law – not much in the news about her these days) out of your own pocket – not MINE. My employer would can me if I tried to slip the family along on the company’s dime. This woman has seen more of the world on our money than I’d bet she’d see if she had to pay. At least it is in the USA this time; not one of her foreign junkets ( I wonder if someone wanting a favor is providing the lodging?). The only time the Govt. ever paid for my travel was when I bothered to wear the Uniform and take the risks
“…The total tab will certainly be in excess of $100,000, and possibly quite a bit more.” Duh; ya think?!
That will probably only cover the food while they are gone!
Enough people fell for this swindler and angry anti-American wife to elect him. If you don’t like him make sure you vote him out in 2012. And, don’t forget to throw out all the other mooching congressmen and senators who are bad, bad, bad. `America deserves a much better quality of politicians. Send all the crooked ones home to get a real job.
Why can’t this woman understand that she can go to Hawaii later? Why is she deliberately sabotaging Pres. Obama’s reelection bid?
She has no concept of how difficult times are for most Americans and she wants to fly about the world, bothering Mandela when he is ill for a photo op.
I had so hoped she would be a terrific first lady and she just engenders my hatred as much as her husband has with his suspension of habeus corpus and his Defense Bill which makes it possible to put people all over the world and Americans in jail indefinitely, no trial, no due process, if they are an enemy of the state, a terror suspect. She and he are disgusting. They no more represent the working class or even the middle class than Putin.
I do not mean this disparagingly Ellie, but you and your close friends are what Mr Obama’s fellow travelers (Axelrod for instance) would call “useful idiots”. They know they do not have to actually work for your vote or believe in your cause. They just say the word and they have you in their pocket.
how arrogant is this woman? the country is in shambles peeps losing houses, jobs and she is going to spend taxpayer money like this. but it is the American peoples fault for letting this type of corrupt culture live and thrive in washington
Excuse me, but the cost to fly to Hawaii is MUCH more than 60K. The C5B carrying her cars and such alone will be in the 300K range. Just the food (and liquor!!! – why are we paying for her booze!!!!) will be about $2500-$5000 for the flight (see previous trips – just a quick hop over the Atlantic in AF1 was more than $1000……)
I think this fat cow really believes that she is royalty and as such is entitled to spend our tax dollars on her extravagance–separate vacations, separate vacations–you didn’t see Laura Bush doing this. I believe that Moochelle really hates America.
‘Movin on up…to the top’ like the show toon intro said. Moochey and Hussein Barack are taking full advantage of all the trimmings at our expense.
Michelle is probably escaping the White House for her vacation without Obunga early is because she wants some lone time with her secret stud who is reported to be a secret service agent.
I’m wondering if the agent is male or FEMALE!
Darn it !! That’s a lot worse than having to “take a bullet” for her !! Poor Dude must be one dedicated idiot.
The only two things I can imagine is that either the Obamas do not really care if they spend a second term in the White House, or they assume that they will be able to blame all of the contempt and disgust that they are generating by their own flagrant disregard for common sense on racisim. I personally lean towards the latter as that is the kind of people they are.
Wouldn’t a loving, patient wife wait for her husband. They do seem to take advantage of the system and they must believe that they are entitled. The good news is we will only have to pay for about 6 or 7 more of their personal trips.
Michelle still has some carbon credits to use up before the end of the year.
Watch them try to claim its the Republicans fault for preventing Pres. Obama from travelling with his family as planned. We all know the plan to travel together was just a ruse from the very beginning designed to insulate Moochelle from criticism. Watch the lapdog media go right along with the lie. How dare they tag the American people with their Hawaii vacations in the first place. They have a house in Chicago, thats where he was living before he moved into the White House, that is where they should be spending the Christmans holidays. Sick of these mealy mouthed elitist politicians enjoying the high life on the backs of the American Taxpayer.
Personally, if I were President I would prefer to celebrate Christmas with my family in the White House. The history of that building alone is magical, much less the rich list of previous occupants. Then again, I would consider serving as President to be the highest honor the country could bestow upon me. I’m not sure that is the case with Mr. Obama.
Yes, how strange it is that this family doesn’t appreciate the gift of being in the White House on Christmas Day.
But Obama and MoochMORE have been working hard from Day One to prove that they really aren’t all that into the Presidency. Feet on desks, trips, escaping to Target, etc., they try to act as if the Presidency is a bothersome and embarrassing necessity that they must endure while The One exercises his genius on this musty old nation.
I do think that Missy MoochMORE has fallen in love with being a cheap queen and that’s why she’s also known as Wifey Werk-the-Perks.
Well, I’ve read the White House is supposed to be Haunted. that would explain why the Usurper-in-Chief doesn’t spend much time there. All the Patriotic great ones that occupied it before doesn’t like a fake being there.
LOL DC. Don’t forget many ‘people’ are very superstitious about bad spirits and ghosts.
Considering Michelle’s previous comments about America and Americans, maybe she feels that all the perks she’s been given, and those she’s taken, are a form of reparations. Her comment earlier this year that she hates life in the White House is clearly reflective in the frequency of her expensive vacations. Waste in government takes many forms.
I believe there is a component of the AfAm “community” that likes to see other blacks “livin’ large” and views it as proving something — I don’t understand quite what this could be — but it is a form of over-identification with other people who have genes from Africa.
The One and The Wife seem to enjoy performing this part of their role in the White House.
It is a little like Flava Flav is running the show
Nobody can deny that Obama has been a complete failure to America. and his wife MOOCHIE thinks she has a unlimited vacation spending budget on the tax payers dime ———-
The First Lady has taken 42 days of vacation in the past year, including a $375,000 vacation in Spain and a four-day ski trip to Vail, Colorado, where she spent $2,000 a night on a suite at the Sebastian hotel. And the first family’s nine-day stay in Martha’s Vineyard
is also proving costly, with rental of the Blue Heron Farm property alone costing an estimated $50,000 a week.
‘Michelle also enjoys drinking expensive booze during her trips. She favours martinis with top-shelf vodka and has a taste for rich sparking wines.
‘The vacations are totally Michelle’s idea. She’s like a vacation junkie. She can’t schedule enough vacation getaways, and she lives from one to the next – all the while sticking it to hardworking Americans.
Michelle Obama’s family trip to South Africa and Botswana in June cost taxpayers well over $424,000, according to new accounting based on Air Force manifests obtained by Judicial Watch, a taxpayer watchdog group. The use of Air Force aircraft alone for the June 21-27 trip cost $424,142, said the group, and that doesn’t include the food, lodging, and ground transportation for the 21 family and staff members which included her daughters listed as “Senior Staff” so the tax payers would pick up the tab for them in addition Michelle also listed her Hair Dresser and Make-up Artist as “Staff Memnbers” so the taxpayers would have to pay for there trip and all expenses —
you gotta love it MOOCHIE never quits spending our tax dollars — no wonder she was Booed at the NASCAR event last weekend — Michelle acts like she is Marie Antoinett “Let them not eat cake while I drink Sparkling wine and eat Lobster”
Last year the Obama’s Christmas trip to Hawaii cost more than $1 million.
He covered the cost of his family’s accommodation, but the rest was covered by the taxpayers.
The bill to house Secret Service agents and Navy Seals in beach front accommodation stretched to $16,800.
A further hotel bill of $134,400 covered 24 White House staff staying in the Moana Hotel at a rate of $400 a day.
The estimate, by the Hawaii Reporter, also included $250,000 for local police overtime, $1 million for the president’s
own round trip flight to Hawaii on Air Force One, and $10,000 for a local ambulance to accompany the presidential
motorcade.
I’m sorry……but I can’t stand this woman…..or her husband!
But…what goes around….comes around.
That’s so awesome. She is soooo worth it!
Baawwaaahhaaaaaa!!!!
I bet you can’t see the forest because the trees are in the way!
I hope that comment’s 100% satire, Pittsburgh Z!
No worries, Moochelle, because the American people have a big fat bank account to support your lavish vacations. If we run short we can always borrow from China or just raise taxes again. Have fun!
Newsflash: There are nonstops from Dulles to Honolulu. She could buy out the entire aircraft for less than what Air Force Two costs.
I have never been Hawaii, I cannot afford to go there. However, I can afford to send this Amazonian America hater to the tune of 100K.
The universe is unfolding as it should … I guess.
I suspect that she’s going now to make the most of her last vacation, paid by ME and my fellow TAXPAYERS. My thinking is that next Christmas she’ll be packing many cardboard boxes getting ready for the big move back to Chicago!! Bwah, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha…….
327 days and there’s not a darn thing they can do about it!!
Unfortunately I am sorry to say he will be elected to a second term, they are just simply going to steal the election. Voter fraud will be like nothing we have ever seen, and with AG Holder still in charge of the DOJ, nothing will ever be done about it. This country and society is doomed, I would encourage everyone to start to prepare for it, because it is inevitable
Unfortunately, I don’t think there will be another election. Martial Law, suspension of the Constitution and that’s all she wrote. We are not going to get this parasite out of the White House. Face it folks! Like Bob said, you better be prepared….
Bob and DC: I’ve got mine.
We’re more than ready . . . bring it!
If he pushes too far the American military would shut him down and make him cry like a little girl.
I believe you’re partially correct (I hope). The only error you’ve made is suggesting this will be her last vacation. Plenty of time to squeeze in 2 or 3 more before she (hopefully) has to pack her stuff.
Sorry – last Christmas vacation.
Bob, DC and Franksam, I’m pretty confident they’ll be moving, but I’m not taking anything for granted so I talk this up with friends face to face and through social media, explaining ‘why’ this is such an important election and barry’s lies (…and the media’s love affair with him).
But that said I’m honestly dumbfounded that so many of my friends from NJ still fall for his lies – during the last Presidental election one gal voted against McCain because of the ‘insight’ from Chris Rock about McCain’s houses. I kid you not.
327 and counting.
“…make the most of her last vacation.”
Uh, what makes you think it will be her last? 327 days to go is enough time for 10-15 more vacations left in her ;)
Exactly Mike. She hasn’t hit Italy yet. Or Sweden, Holland, Switzerland, Latvia, Hungary, Poland. OMG…there are so many possibilities.
Spare no expense, its not their money,,why should they care, they are the 1%
If only matt lauer or the other two idiots on the today show chuck todd & the idiot from meet the press would ask the obamas about the tax dollars they spend wastefully instead of crucifieing the republicans all the time, but I think they believe the americans are stupid! GIVE ME A BREAK
Well Obamao DID call Americans stupid. He was caught on an open mic.
Don’t get your fingers close to her mouth while she is eating…
Why are so many people shocked by the Obama’s blatant display of extravagance at the expense of tax payers? After all they are living the black American dream … the dream of revenge!
Yep, they’ve ruined it for any future blacks who aspire to be Prez.
I can’t believe all of you clever people can not figure out what is going on here. The POTUS and his lovely wife NEVER make a move without having it thoroughly mulled over by the dark seethes. They choose the lesser of two evils. You see, I think their individual entourages are so huge they actually need two planes. Most can equate it with a large family vacation in which the wife and husband take separate cars for convenience.
The Pres and his wife just have a lot more to take, like 6 limos, full set of individual staffers, and security for each, the girls, omg this could on for a week. Let’s not forget their friends.
But how would that actually go over?? So you see, it’s just easier to make up an excuse to warrant separate travel, like Congress is inhibiting the Presidents efforts, I’ll catch up with you in a day. Even their supporters might get slightly pissed off to find out they travel in such opulence separate transports are required. This is not the first occurrence of their travel habits. Why on Earth would they do it again after the uproar over Martha’s Vineyard?
I’m so ready for 2012…get them out of Washington.
Better yet, get them out of America and back to Nigeria along with the rest of the frauds.
Send the cow out coach and put her in a Day’s Inn.
How can someone who doesn’t have a job take so many vacations? Her husband was elected, she was not. Has the position of First Lady become a paid position? She has 26 attendants working for her, on our dime of course, but is she getting paid too?
On one vacation to Marthas Vinyard the dog had it’s own plane too. Now will we be paying for their trainer to fly daily to Hawaii as we do now for him to fly to DC.
AND NO ONE (re: “Main Stream Media”) WILL REPORT THIS…???
What a pair ??? Would love to eavesdrop on one of their private conversions, how ’bout you ??
Aside: I think the ‘cake’ that Marie A was referring to wasn’t birthday
cake, but the burnt charcoal crud that’s left on the grill after the meat
has been taken away.
Suckers!!!
you hit the nail right on the head
The Obama clan has probably never even understood Christmas before he became President. He was brought with Muslin idea, so has no respect for other peoples religion or beliefs.
I don’t believe the cost of her flying is only $60,000. Another lie by “government estimates”. That’s how much a small private plane costs to fly from LA to Hawaii. She’s not going to be on any small anything.The cost of AF1 is over $187,000 per hour to operate. How many hours from DC to Hawaii? Her travel costs us in the millions. $60,000 is more like her catering bill on her plane ride! I’m sure she’s bringing mom and another relative or friend or two also.
You are soooooo correct. The $60K does not pass the smell test.
I am tired of the whole Imperial presidency as well as the perks afforded to speaker of house, etc. Lets tighten everyone’s belt. These excesses are getting much to much.
My guess is there isn’t enough room on AF1 for the party animals to transport both of their entourages, so they need to take separate planes. Heaven knows our royalty certainly can’t be expected to tighten Mooch’s boob belt by sacrificing a day or two of vacation time or taking fewer attendants to conserve a few extra tax dollars. The Obama’s must realize how much middle America despises them for their excesses. Problem is they don’t care…
“boob belt” hahahahahahahaha
