taxpayers will at least include:

Mrs. Obama’s early flight to Hawaii: $63,000 (White House Dossier)

Obama’s round trip flight to Hawaii: $1 million (GAO estimates)

Housing in beachfront homes for Secret Service and Seals in Kailua
($1,200 a day for 14 days): $16,800
-
Costs for White House staff staying at Moana Hotel: $134,400 ($400 per
day for 24 staff) - excluding meals and other room costs
-
Police overtime: $250,000 (2009 costs reported by Honolulu Police
Department)
-
Ambulance: $10,000 (City Spokesperson)
TOTAL COST: $1,474,200
UNKNOWN COSTS
-
Rental of office building in Kailua on canal
-
Security upgrades and additional phone lines
-
Costs for car rentals and fuel for White House staff staying at Moana
Hotel (Secret Service imports most of the cars used here to escort the
president)
-
Surveillance before the president arrives
-
Travel costs for Secret Service and White House staff traveling ahead
of the President
Editor's note per a reader - add another
$280,000: Hawaii Reporter was informed that we left out
a major expense from this report. The cost of transporting the
Presidential limos, helicopters and other support equipment on a USAF
C-17 cargo aircraft. The flight time between Andrews AFB and Hawaii is
about 10 hours at approximately $7,000 per hour operating cost.
Round trip, this would be at least $140,000 per aircraft.

And it will be worth every penny if they decide to keep him in Asia.

Here is a nice comparison in the Crass vs. Class:

Like lottery hitting n-words on a Saturday night.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I know, getting on the bus here Boss.

Will someone please try to talk him into extending his Hawaii vacation for a year? For the good of the country. Oh, and tell him he needs to spend more time on the golf course. Eisenhower golfed over 800 times in his two terms, and Obama is falling behind.
ReplyDeleteThe Obama's like many of their clan are adept at gaming the system. It's no coinkydink that everything they do is over the top, exclusive of the consideration of others and often in some way mean spirited. It's reparations writ large and intended to humiliate the conservative White middle class tax paying base and to inspire lesser Americans to greater demands for the hated majority's personal wealth and hard earned dignity.
ReplyDeleteHuh, I managed that without an N word of any kind.
Just an anachronous note :
ReplyDeleteNero did NOT fiddle while Rome burned. The fiddle was only invented in the 15th century. He probably plucked a lyre. That would have been available at the time.
A lyre? Well, Uhbama is a lyre and nobody's plucked his eyes out yet.
ReplyDeleteWhere's Nero when you need him?
Gettin' on the bus again here Boss.

Hundreds of SS agents, staffers, support, etc., all far away from home for Christmas. That's the polar opposite from past Republican Presidents.
