Unfortunately, it's impossible to show numbers, since the White House, refuses to tell the taxpayers how much Queen "the Pig" Michelle's extravagance costs them.
So we have to go by estimations.
I already posted this but this is the estimations of how much The Pig's European extravagance costs the taxpayers.
First Lady Michelle Obamas tour of Paris with her children included a convoy of 20 vehicles, according to news reports. She also moved by motorcade through London.
The full cost of such a trip would also include the expense of meals and lodging for Secret Service agents and possibly other staff...
...Combined, the first ladys air travel cost would have been $44,843.28, under the White House estimate or $163,560.50, under the Air Force estimate, but these estimates are for fiscal year 1998 dollars.
Adjusted for inflation to 2009 dollars, the cost to taxpayers of the Washington-to-Paris-to-London-to-Washington air travel would have ranged from $58,834.02 to $214,591.38, according to the inflation estimates by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Costs associated with these trips, however, generally involve much more than the operational costs of the specific passenger aircraft, the CRS report says. When the president travels abroad, several passenger and cargo aircraft accompany Air Force One. When the vice president or first lady make such a trip, a single cargo aircraft accompanies either of them.
Rules distinguish official and unofficial travel by the first family and administration officials. Official business would include the president meeting with foreign leaders, while unofficial business would include the president traveling to campaign for a candidate of his party or a first family vacation.
The travel polices of specific administrations concerning the reimbursement of expenses for unofficial travel generally are not publicly available, the CRS report said
So once again as America suffers the Obama's live it up at our expense.
