And yea, we certainly could make the argument that the Obamas are overdoing it. So much for the Blue Angels, but hey, at least the White House is still partying it up.

If North Korea decides to invade us, they will have to build many unsinkable troop ships first.

The president can do his job wherever he is.

Every president and his family needs to be protected (especially with Joe Biden as vice-president).

WIC is to protect children from malnutrition caused by poor parents.

We can not cut Congress’ pay due to the latest approved amendment (no change up or down until after an election).

If we blame Congress for a flawed government, we have to blame those who put them in office: us.

David for truth

The article doesn’t say that 1.4 billion dollars are vacation expenses. They include security personnel, White House staff, and the usage of Air Force One during campaign trips.

These expenses have been shared by every President in the modern era. You could make the argument that the Obama administration is overdoing it, but that isn’t what you are saying. You are saying that 1.4 billion dollars is the total cost of the Obama family vacations. This statement is not supported by your source.

Speaking of your source, it isn’t really British at all. It is a British article about an American book written by an American author who served under numerous Republican Presidents. To suggest that the author of that book isn’t biased seems like a bit of a stretch.

I’m no advocate for the President, but I am a believer in transparency, honesty, and strong reading comprehension.

I would be inclined to recommend that the White House scale back their globetrotting, but I think entitlement reform, cutting unnecessary military spending, and eliminating subsidies to nations who would do us harm would all be more effective targets for energetic cuts.

We spend more than we take in, we are finishing up foreign wars, and giving aid to people that just don’t like us all that much. Cut. Cut. Cut. While we are at it, it would be nice if the President and his family would just hang around D.C. more often. There is plenty to be done.

Please do your own homework. Just because a website calls itself FACTCHECKS doesn’t mean that it is full of actual facts. The website you are referring to is completely biased.
FactCheck.org is a LEFT-BIASED organization that has sold itself as “Politically NEUTRAL” to America’s voters and media personnel.

The fact is, the ANNENBERG Public Policy Center (APPC), the sponsoring agency behind FastCheck.org, is itself supported by the same foundation, the ANNENBERG FOUNDATION, that Bill Ayers secured the 49.2 million dollars from to create the Chicago ANNENBERG Challenge “philanthropic” organization in which Barack Obama was the founding Chairman of the Board for and Ayers served as the grant writer of and co-Chair of for its two operating arms.

The real truth, which is reported here thanks to the UK (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2210323/Obama-family-costs-taxpayers-1-4BILLION-year.html) is that the OBamas have cost the US taxpayers over 1.4 Billion in vacation expenses.

That’s okay. As Margaret Thatcher said, “”Eventually, Socialists run out of other peoples’ money [to spend].”

obama takes a vacation to hawaii that cost over five million. obama needs to take a vacation to his birthland, kenya and stay!
