| The Obamas Have Spent Over $44,351,777.12 In Taxpayer Cash On Travel |
| 2016-11-20 |
| [Daily Caller] The Obamas have spent over 44 million dollars in taxpayer money on travel and vacations. Some are even calling him the "most well-trvaeled, expensive" president in our nation’s history. As Americans head off for the long holiday weekend, let’s take a look back at some of the president’s holiday spending. Our president vacations a lot -- we’re talking $44,351,777.12 worth of "a lot," with most expenses charged to the American taxpayer. As of March 2014, Obama has spent more time traveling internationally than any other president, taking 31 trips since assuming office in 2009. The 119 days spent overseas have cost taxpayers millions of dollars. |

| #8 That $ figure is absolute BS in my opinion. 44/31 equals 1.4 mil/trip??? Hell it takes 20 C-17 sorties to support 1stop on a POTUS trip. I would add at least a zero to the 44 million number. |
