Cost of Obama's vacation
With him flying back and forth to Washington, how much is it costing taxpayers? Another example that these politicians don't get it. It costs us money. He should have stayed in Washington.

Re: Cost of Obama's vacation
Apparently it's 7 mil.
Re: Cost of Obama's vacation
Did Obama take a vacation?
Bush spent almost a third of his presidency on vacation.
All presidential 'vacations' cost money, but each of the last three Democratic presidents spent far less time away from the White House than each of the last three Republican presidents. It's funny--Republicans always cry about government spending, but always manage to spend much more than their counterparts.

How much did each of the presidents spend away from the White House?

http://politic365.com/2012/05/08/obamas ... -the-most/at least two recent presidents — by Knoller’s count — took less "vacation" time during their first year than President Obama — Presidents Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton.
Any US president will run up a tab traveling on Air Force One with Secret Service. Who said Obama paid $7mill? I don't think he spends more than previous heads of state.Calls to several Presidential libraries reveal that President Obama’s predecessor, George W. Bush, was on vacation more — 1,020 days — than any U.S. President since Herbert Hoover and possibly more than any other President in history.

Here's a quote from the Hawaii Reporter, whatever that is
http://beforeitsnews.com/politics/2013/ ... 85776.htmlTravel time for Air Force One direct from Washington D.C. to Hawaii is about 9 hours or as high as $1,635,813 each way for a total of $3,271,622 for the round trip to Hawaii and back.
The President will have made two round trips to Hawaii via Air Force One within a matter of days bringing the total for his air travel to more than $6.4 million, and the cost of the trip to more than $7.2 million.
Regardless if it's Democrat or Republican, if they can't balance the budget, they should be more careful in spending taxpayer's money. Not one place did I mention Democrats in general, I mentioned politicians, both Democrats and Republicans. I just read where Bush spent over $20 mil on vacations one year. That's outrageous and stupid. If I ran my household like how they run the govt., I would be broke like how the govt is broke.
Re: Cost of Obama's vacation
Wonder how much private, state, city and federal officials get paid working around the presidents arrival. Supreme Davis Bacon Wages? or Optimus Prime State Prevailing Wages? lol. Maybe that's why the tab is in the millions.

Re: Cost of Obama's vacation
Incredible. The cost of Obama's vacation could have funded Coach Chow's payout and the hiring of a new head coach, plus covered the expected athletic department deficits for 2013 and possibly 2014. Too bad.

Re: Cost of Obama's vacation
LOL...Boise State kept relevant because every time a head coach left for greener pastures others stayed behind. Just think, we could've had our own Chris Petersen in the likes of Rolovich, Aranda, or Miano. Instead, we got stuck with...My3Cats wrote:Incredible.

Speaking of expenditures in the home state...how much revenue did Obama bring to the state each time he took a vacation here?
