So how many vacations(At tax payers expense)Has Obama the Fink taken either to ride around on his stupid bicycle or play a few holes of golf and look how they hastled Bush over his Read My Lips speech

I have tried to research this myself with no results; can anyone find where Obama took his family to Hawaii BEFORE the taxpayer was paying for it?

People complained because they thought Obama’s little White House getaways were expensive…

Trump’s three Mar-a-Lago trips since the inauguration have probably cost the federal treasury about $10 million, based on figures used in an October government report analyzing White House travel, including money for Coast Guard units to patrol the exposed shoreline and other military, security and staffing expenses associated with moving the apparatus of the presidency.

Trump family’s elaborate lifestyle is a ‘logistical nightmare’ — at taxpayer expense

Let’s see… $10 million in three weeks; 52 weeks in a year, 4 years to go… Anybody got a calculator?

@Greg:

Anybody got a calculator?

None necessary, liberals proved that when they thought it was great for the Obozo’s to spend 100 million on vacations during his taxpayer funded stay at the White house.
But I’m gonna go on the record that the trips to Mar a Lago are not ‘vacation’ trips and are no different from the 10 million or so they spent on Obozo every 2 or 3 weeks while he was in office. The expense for the Coast Guard is no different for Trump than Obozo, whenever either of them were near the coast. You think the Coast guard wasn’t patrolling around the Hawaii spot Obozo was at?

So, as i said, the liberals have set the standard by idolizing Obozo and thinking that ‘everything he did’ was great and nothing was too good for the incompetent.

Doing arithmetic can be dangerous, owing to the possibility of coming up with inconvenient sums and comparisons:

Judicial Watch did a little digging on the travel costs of Obama’s vacation on the West Coast back in October and found in the process that Obama has now racked up $72 MILLION in travel expenses in his 7 years as president, making him the “$10-million-dollar (per year) man.”

$10 million per year, vs. $10 million in three weeks. I would say Donald is burning through the taxpayer dollars at a somewhat more rapid clip. Also—applying the right’s past standards—that he’s taking a lot of weekends off, for a president who hasn’t yet managed to put together a passably functional administration.

No source, fake news

Why Does Michelle Obama’s Mother Live at the White House?

By J. Christian Adams March 21, 2014

Here’s a question I’ll bet nobody ever asked Jay Carney at a White House press briefing: Why does Michelle Obama’s mother live at the White House at taxpayer expense? (If someone has asked, please send link for me to stand corrected.)

Now that Michelle Obama’s mother has caused a disruption on the latest exotic vacation for the first lady, perhaps it is time for some answers about why Marian Robinson is even on the trip to China. Worse, why is she appearing in official photographs with Chinese officials?

Drudge is reporting in big bold lead letters that Marian Robinson is barking orders at hotel staff and generally misbehaving.

How many Americans know that Michelle Obama’s mother is living at the White House at taxpayer expense? Not many, I’d guess.

So why does the mother of the first lady live at the White House? Why not cousins or uncles? Or perhaps brothers from Kenya? After all, White House digs are better than a hut.

@Greg: Did you even read the article you linked to? it clearly states that his vacation costs do not even include the cost for security.
Perhaps most depressing about the president’s exorbitant travel expenses is that those figures do not even present the full cost of his spending on vacations, which inevitably include huge security, room and board, and entertainment (think golf) expenses.
Kinda makes your point about covering just security for Trump seem pretty ignorant.
How about Pelosi she once stated there are no more expenses to cut. http://www.judicialwatch.org/press-room/press-releases/judicial-watch-uncovers-new-documents-detailing
But wouldnt take her own personal jet.
