This comes from the Washington Times if you want to attack the messenger. President Obamas trips this year to the golfing playgrounds of Palm Springs and Key Largo cost taxpayers nearly $3 million for flight expenses alone, according to Air Force records. The activist group Judicial Watch said the trips in February and March cost $2,952,278 for flight expenses of Air Force One. And this is just for TWO MONTHS!!!

He must wake up at night laughing at the clowns that defend him tooth and nail while he lives it up like Louis XVI. His goal is to bring the economy crashing down (to the extent he's able to) and live like a king in the meantime.
Whatever he does it's going to cost that same amount of money, all those people involved in moving the president are salaried, they aren't aren't per Diem and hired as needed. This is just more racist invective disguised as "concern for the budget"
What did you call it when George Bush was criticized for all his time away from the job? Racist invective?
No thank you. Just a (*)(*)(*)(*)ing Obamacare is innovating enough. - - - Updated - - - Oh? And the plane cost the same either on a ground or in the air too?
If he wasn't playing golf, he'd be doing something else, he wouldn't be lying on the couch watching golf, and if he did, you'd be complaining about the cost of cable.... And Bush holds the record for most vacation days, and Obama is no where near it. So as far as presidential vacations go, Obama has cut the budget and saved the taxpayer money.....
Obama playing golf ....stop the presses . BFD after dealing with right wing nut jobs all day I would need a brake as well .
Completely untrue, but a very nice effort to defend the indefensible. Those four huge General Electric CF-6 engines on Air Force One gobble up thousands of gallons of kerosene per hour and for every flight hour on a VC-25 aircraft, there are hundreds of man hours of maintenance to keep the aircraft in the air and safe. The net result is that large aircraft cost hundreds of thousands of dollars an hour to fly.
I'm genuinely confused as to why you think this specifically is racist. Presidents generally take a lot of free time at the taxpayer's expense, and the other side generally rips them for it. Don't dilute the term by using it where it's clearly not warranted.
Now just think of all the tax payers dollars the GOP has wasted ....solyndra , fast n furious , irs , Benghazi 13 times , AMA 53 times .... Now show me your outrage over wasteful spending .
Egads! No! Please no! There are some people who you absolutely do not want to have new ideas and innovations. You know, the woefully ignorant, ill-informed, arrogant, self-aggrandizing, and drug addled. Obama is all of those things. Please, your children and grandchildren are already going to be wage slaves already based on Obama's ideas. Why would anyone want more of that?
The cost of cable? ...... There goes that disingenuous blather again. Bush vacations were spent at his ranch at no cost to the taxpayer. Can't say the same for frequent costly trips to Spain, Hawaii, Martha's Vineyard, Hilton Head etc. and multiple flights to the same location for the wife, kids and even the dog http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/wo...og-Bo-is-airlifted-to-Obama-holiday-home.html That is true Louis XVI behavior.
Check your dosage, you seem to have confusion issues. Obama wasted half a billion on Solyndra, a company private investors wouldn't touch. Fast and Furious and the IRS were criminal acts committed by the Obama Administration. If you are worried about that cost, do something to prevent the criminals from committing the acts in the first place and there would be no need for investigation. As for the AMA, I assume you are referring to the ACA, it should be repealed. Any act of Congress with affordable in the title should probably make things more affordable or it is a failure. Wouldn't you agree? As for Benghazi, have you seen Trey Gowdy at work? He is going to rip the Democrats a jagged new one, well worth the money to see.
Wow the faux is strong with you Solyndra = Issa whiff Fast n furious = Issa whiff IRS = Issa whiff Benghazi = 13 whiffs AMA = 53 whiffs The GOP & gowdy look like clowns again Last time I checked in order to be a criminal you have to be convicted of a crime ....just saying
That is where Gowdy comes in. Just wait. And a criminal act is criminal by definition. Figuring out who is the criminal is the difficult part, but Trey Gowdy is exceedingly good at that.
Gowdy is a hack ..after he gets done with little Benghazi ghost chase you will never hear from this hack again . Political football being played for sure & Gowdy will be the one sacked .
I am not sure calling someone who worked as a Federal Prosecutor for 16 years without losing a single case a hack is a fair characterization. If you believe Gowdy will be sacked, then you would be all for the investigation. But you aren't. Democrats, if they are wise, fear Gowdy, and they should.
13 times this has been investigated with the same results = (*)(*)(*)(*) happens in dangerous parts of the world all involved knew the risks .
Did you know what Obama, teh Commander-in-Chief did during Usama raid?... played with Mr. Love... don't tell me he'd do something useful for the Nation if he was not playing golf!
