Just off of a quick Google search.
Quoted Text
Judicial Watch announced today that it has obtained flight expense records from the U.S. Department of the Air Force revealing that President Obama incurred $7,396,531.20 in flight expenses alone for his 2013 vacations to Hawaii and Martha's Vineyard and his trip to California to appear on the Jay Leno Show.

Quoted Text
The Republican Party has been outraged at the $4 million plus price tag for Obama’s family Christmas vacation, and they constantly hold George W. Bush up as an example of how thrifty a president should be when going on vacation. The problem is that Bush wasn’t thrifty. He was the most expensive vacation president in U.S. history. Not only did Bush spend more days on vacation than any other president, but he used Air Force One more often while on vacation than any other president. In response to growing criticism that the president was on vacation too much, the Bush administration adopted the Rovian tactic of scheduling, “work events” while the president was in Crawford so that they could claim that President Bush’s vacations were working vacations. http://www.ourmidland.com/opin.....e0-807933cf9e74.html

So just to be clear, WHO IS "JUDICIAL WATCH"??? Oh, wait... (Just off of a quick Google search)Judicial Watch is a conservative educational foundation. (They educate FoxSnooze viewers, if that is possible) |

They reported a public record...public record reporting is bias? How are you going to respond to HarryP's HuffPo article talking about the $100 million African vacation? |

$10 million? That was just on hors d'oeuvres. Try $100 million total Here's a link from your favorite rag. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/06/14/obama-africa-trip_n_3441510.html
What Harry is posting about (politics of course) is the cost of the SECRET SERVICE expense on any presidential travel. EVERY presidential vacation or travel requires the secret service to preform extraordinary security for the president and his family. So... This isn't an OBAMA VACATION EXPENSE... it's a PRESIDENTIAL VACATION EXPENSE FOR ALL US PRESIDENTS. That being said... just how many of these vacations has Obama Taken, and how many would be considered usual for a US President. Lets compare: FactCheck.Org looked at the actual data of how many days were spent on vacation and found: Bush, 407; Obama, 125. So for each and every one of these days, the Secret Services needs to provide security for G Worst Bush as well as for Obama or any other US President. (I guess Harry only cares about Democrat presidents vacation security costs or he might have researched the 407 G Worst Bush cost.) |

Is that what you saw Cicero??? Harry's linked article explained the cost of ANY presidential trip. So... any would mean Obama's and "OTHERS"? If the president moves outside of DC, there will almost always be an added expense. The more vacation or 'trips', the more the cost. (But You Already Knew That) |

Yep - and if you didn't know, maybe you should look at your drivers license - or birth certificate. |
