Who Would Want To Leave A Job That Gives You Multi Million Vacations At Taxpayer Expense?

The Final Bill For Obama’s 2015 Vacations Just Released… Prepare Yourself, It’s INFURIATING

 Print
Seven years ago, then-Sen. Barack Hussein Obama promised Americans that he would refrain from taking vacations — particularly excessive ones — if he were elected president.
The latest report from Judicial Watch makes it clear that he lied to get elected (as if that had been in doubt).

Specifically, the report revealed that Obama has spent $3,115,688.70 on travel expenses this year alone making unnecessary trips to Palm Springs, New York City and Martha’s Vineyard.
Obama’s outing to Palm Springs in June, which in itself cost $2,187,172.20, was for playing golf, while his trip to New York City the following month was for hanging out and “sightseeing” with daughters Sasha and Malia.
His final trip, made in August, was for playing golf again, this time with former president and possible accessory to murder Bill Clinton, as well as a few others.

TRENDING STORIES

“President Obama evidently cares not one whit about the costs to beleaguered taxpayers for his personal and political travel,” Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton said in regard to these expensive excursions.
Fitton added that it was highly inappropriate for Obama to use Air Force One, as well as “an army of law enforcement,” just to go sightseeing in New York with his daughters.
“Barack Obama is enamored with the presidency’s trappings of power, and taxpayers are left holding the tab,” Fitton concluded.
Note also that the $3,115,688.70 price tag does not take into consideration security costs, which have yet to be revealed by the Secret Service.
Furthermore, the total amount of vacation expenses accrued by both the Obamas and the Bidens during the past seven years is a ridiculous $70,563,336.75.
And yet this same man just recently vetoed a defense bill that would have empowered our soldiers overseas with the tools and equipment they need to keep fighting the good fight.
Talk about backward priorities …

Newly-elected House Speaker Paul Ryan warned President Obama against attempting to use an executive order to close the U.S. detention center at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
With the Senate following the House on Monday in passing a new defense spending bill that included a ban on shuttering the prison and transferring prisoners to U.S. soil, the White House is reportedly mulling the idea of using an executive order to fulfill Obama's campaign promise.
"He can't. He doesn't have the authority to do it. It's just that clear," the newly elected Speaker told With All Due Respect host Mark Halperin. 
"Look, we passed the bill in the House with 390 votes, well over enough to override a veto. The Senate today passed this bill with 91 votes, well over what is needed to override a veto," he said. "The language is very clear that he can't transfer the prisoners, and this is language that was put in the defense bill by Democrats when they ran Congress in the early part of the Obama administration."
Latest News Update
Throughout the interview, Ryan declined to give specifics for tax reform plans that Republicans would soon begin crafting, but he did emphasize the need for "fewer loopholes and deductions." 
Ryan also depicted Social Security and Medicare as being "on the verge of bankruptcy." 
"We need to act to shore them up," Ryan said. 

Hours before the next Republican presidential debate, Ryan, who was the GOP's vice presidential nominee in 2012, also weighed in on front-runners Donald Trump and Ben Carson. 
"You don't have to be elected in government as a governor or senator or congressman to be an excellent president," Ryan said about whether those without elected experience should be considered for the presidency.
