Obama's Sequester Vacation--$100 Mill

Yes, we can't keep the White House open for tours and military servicemen cannot get their education help, but the Obamas can go on a $100 million vacation. (And that estimate is probably very low.) Yes, we need to worry about sequestration but not our President!

This man is the least concerned President ever. Even Jimmy Carter wore a sweater when he turned down the thermostats at the White House. Obama probably increased the temps and ordered more caviar. 

Anyone who thinks that he cares about you or your family is naive. He is concerned with one person and one person only--that is Barack Hussein  Obama. No one else. We doubt he really cares about his wife and daughters. We know that Michelle had no problem going away for vacation while he celebrated his birthday at the White House, alone. There is not a lot of love there, only political power and a whole lot of  "what can I get" attitude.

This upcoming trip is the most expensive vacation they have ever taken and it occurs while the country is trying to recover from one of the worst economic patches in history. That does not matter. The image of him spending time in Africa, his father's continent, is the overriding thought and damn the cost. "America owes it to the Obama family."

So there you have it, our imperial President. Bush went to his home in Texas and worked. Reagan went to his ranch and chopped wood.  Obama globe trots the world and plays.  Three different Presidents, two different attitudes toward America. Which would you rather lead this country?

Obama Family Vacation To Africa… $100 Million, Shooting Holes In Sequester-Impact Lies… Priceless

June 13, 2013 by Sam Rolley 

Between $60 million and $100 million worth of Federal assets — including a large naval ship, 56 support vehicles, truckloads of bulletproof glass, fighter jets and hundreds of Federal personnel — will soon be shipped to sub-Saharan Africa. Is a small scale military operation being planned in an area of civil unrest? Nope… President Barack Obama is taking the wife and kids on vacation.

The costly preparations for the Presidential were revealed in documents obtained by The Washington Post. The newspaper reports:

Hundreds of U.S. Secret Service agents will be dispatched to secure facilities in Senegal, South Africa and Tanzania. A Navy aircraft carrier or amphibious ship, with a fully staffed medical trauma center, will be stationed offshore in case of an emergency.

Military cargo planes will airlift in 56 support vehicles, including 14 limousines and three trucks loaded with sheets of bulletproof glass to cover the windows of the hotels where the first family will stay. Fighter jets will fly in shifts, giving 24-hour coverage over the president’s airspace, so they can intervene quickly if an errant plane gets too close.

The extraordinary security provisions — which will cost the government tens of millions of dollars — are outlined in a confidential internal planning document obtained by The Washington Post. While the preparations appear to be in line with similar travels in the past, the document offers an unusual glimpse into the colossal efforts to protect the U.S. commander-in-chief on trips abroad.

While Obama’s predecessors have also taken costly family trips to the same region, the current President’s costly African adventure comes after months of his warning that across-the-board government budget cuts would cripple public services. His Administration made the decision to shut down White House tours to drive home the point.
