Lately, President Obama has been talking about “austerity” and cutting spending. What a crock.
According to a report by Paul Bedard in the Washington Examiner,
when you total all the reported expenses of the first family’s 22 vacations so far to Hawaii, Martha’s Vineyard, Spain, Colorado, Florida, Africa, etc are combined, the estimate of Obama vacations reaches over $18 million when hotel and resort rent, security hotel and car rentals and airfare are included. Austerity?
As you may be aware, Mr. and Mrs. had separate Valentine’s Day vacations — y’all can do your own analysis on that.
But how does the Commander-in-Chief look into the eyes of the young men and women in our military on food stamps as he and the FLOTUS jet off all around the globe?
According to the Washington Examiner, Government watchdog group Judicial Watch has been “bird dogging” this issue. Concerned about the trip expenses and the administration’s lack of transparency on the trips, Judicial Watch has sought spending documents. They’ve had success on just eight trips and only received Air Force and Secret Service expense forms which total $2,417,595.47. Included is the $1 million tab for Michelle Obama’s 2011 trip to Africa, her $476,585 2010 vacay in Spain, the first couple’s 2009 New York City date night that cost $11,648 and the first lady’s 2013 trip to Aspen for Presidents’ Day costing $81,523.
Income inequality, shared prosperity, economic equality, austerity, fair share, what a bunch of bovine excrement emanating from the mouth of the worst president America may ever know (at least I hope it doesn’t get any worse). As I have stated before, the low information voters will turn us from citizens into subjects.

WHY YOU SHOULD LOBBY CONGRESS
Citizens may feel it is a waste of time to contact elected leaders, because their minds are made up already. But on most issues, legislators try hard to determine the desires and leanings of their constituency before they vote. Politicians worry about being re-elected, and know that the happier their constituency, the more likely their own re-election.
