$2.9 million alone for two Obama 2014 golf outings

The travel costs for vacations taken by the first family and the Bidens have reached over $40 million with the Air Force’s revelation that two golf outings by President Obama this year cost $2.9 million, according to the taxpayer watchdog group Judicial Watch.

The group said that the Air Force provided documents and records that put the price of the first family’s trip to Key Largo, Fla., in March at $885,683 just for flying Air Force One. The travel costs to golf in Palm Springs, Calif., in February, where the president also met with King Abdullah II of Jordan, was $2,066,594, said the Air Force documents, according to Judicial Watch.

Judicial Watch has been filing repeated Freedom of Information Act requests for travel costs and the Air Force has provided many documents during the administration.

So far, Judicial Watch said that it has tabulated vacation travel costs, mostly just Air Force jet time, at over $40 million. Far more money is spent on accommodations, communications, rooms and cars for staff, security and U.S. Secret Service protection, Navy and Coast Guard ships offshore and the prepositioning of cars and helicopters, but those costs are not usually revealed.

  1. Barry, not only didn’t you build it, you didn’t pay for it.

    Our hard earned money, (which is valued less and less & buys less and less), the government takes through threats and intimidation paid for your vacations and golf trips.

    We work, We pay, you play, asshole.

  2. You ever get the feeling these assholes are in competition? “Joe B – Let’s see who can spend the most taxpayer dollars in a single year.” “Wow, Barack. You said that without any of your Negro dialect.” Like I said – assholes, the both of them.

    The $40M is just for airfare. Hotel, security food, booze, fees, damage, plumbers to unclog these pigs’ toilets not included. The African safari alone cost taxpayers $100 million. The Obama White House costs taxpayers $1.5 billion per year.

  4. obama spends on such lavish in your face vacations just to infuriate the tax payers hoping for his much needed race riots.

    the racist republicans are not going to do anything about it.

    jarret needs you to riot now to take the heat off the bengahzi revelations. why would this be brought to light by the msm now.

    watch at what they do to distract from the corruption now!
