Con artist determined to outdo Obama personal spending

[someoneyouknow]

At a time when budget cuts are comin' round the corner, the con artist has been spending taxpayer money at a furious pace. As of now, he is on pace to spend more money taking personal trips on the taxpayer dime in his first year in office than Obama spent in all eight years of his presidency.

Using figures from the Congressional Budget Office, and comparing a similar trip Obama took to Florida against the multiple and ongoing trips the con artist takes, it is estimated the U.S. taxpayer has paid out over $21 million in the first three months of the con artist regime. This compares against the estimated $97 million Obama spent in his two terms in office, figures derived from the partisan and hypocritical Judicial Watch organization.

When asked about his lavish spending of taxpayer money, the con artist replied, "I'm the president and you're not."

He has to enjoy it while it lasts.

He's allowed to take unlimited golf vacations, he's white.

He always said he'd make money off being the president. Of course the rubes didn't think it'd be their money.

Good let's look at the Congressional record. Obama eight year total for travel costs total to more than $96 million.

Secret Service records reveal that Barack Obama's April 23,, 2015 Earth Day trip to give a global warming speech in Florida cost taxpayers $145,752 which brings the total cost of the trip to at least $1,012,367.76

Secret Service records for Obama's October 2015 fundraiser travel to San Diego reveal expenses totaling $180,187.09 including the U. S. air Force expenses of at least $2,181,655.99 (and what happened to the "campaign funds" he raised as I can't find a record of Clinton or Sanders or the party getting any.)

Michelle Obama's February 2016 ski trip to Aspen with her daughters cost taxpayers a total of $222,875..58 with the Secret Service expense of $165,806.78

A weekend trip of 7.4 hour round trip flight to Aspen cost $57,068.80.

Michelle Obama's vacation tri to Morocco, Spain and Liberia with daughters in June 2016 cost $450,026.40 in flight expenses alone. A C-32A was flown for 28.4 hours.

Obama's August 2016 vacation to Martha's Vineyard cost taxpayers $450,295 in flight expenses alone.

When Hillary Clinton accompanied B. Obama for a "camping" trip to north Carolina in July 2016 the Air Force paid $360,236.

In October 2016 Michele Obama joined Hillary Clinton in North Carolina for a rally, the First Lady normally travels in a C-32A so the 1.8 hour flight estimated to have cost taxpayers $28,522.80

These are just examples drawn from 2015 and 2016. Add the rest of 2015 and the previous years flights (his trip to Japan for example) and then you add Bill Clinton's flights you can see why you are taxed so heavy.

Remember Obama was out of Washington on campaign trips or vacation just about every month he was in office. As you say check the Congressional Records.

One of the things Trump has done as soon as he came to office was to immediately reform presidential travel.

He's allowed to take unlimited golf vacations, he's white.

It's funny how the leftist are always such racists. I suppose now you going to say that Obama takes golf vacations because he is black?
