President Obama, who famously suggested he would give up taking vacations if he was elected president, has spent nearly $80 million of taxpayer money on vacations.

That’s according to the newest total compile by Judicial Watch, which has been monitoring those costs since Obama moved into the White House and started getting away to Hawaii, sending his kids to Mexico for spring break and his wife to Africa.

Judicial Watch said Wednesday the information from the Department of Homeland Security shows the Obama family’s August 2015 vacation on Martha’s Vineyard cost taxpayers $465,420.49 in Secret Service expenses alone.

“The records were obtained through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit filed on November 24, 2015,” the organization reported. “Judicial Watch sued the Department of Homeland Security, of which the Secret Service is a part, because it had failed to respond to 19 FOIA requests from Judicial Watch since July 21, 2014.

The newly obtained records show Obama’s trip in July 2014 to Seattle and Los Angeles “solely for fund-raising, specifically to boost the treasuries of two ‘super pacs'” cost taxpayers $237,731.04 for hotels, $19,888.70 for rental cars and $1,451.40 for air or rail travel.

He should've treated himself and rounded up to a cool $100 million.

And that compares to other presidents ... how?

You never cared when any other president took vacations. Your stinking hypocrisy is showing again, righties. Try not to make it so obvious.

The new details revealed by Judicial Watch include $1,604,380.50 for Obama’s Westchester, New York and Providence, Rhode Island, trip in August 2014, when the purpose “was for fundraising and attending the wedding of an MSNBC host.”

An August 2015 trip to Martha’s Vineyard, for the Obamas’ sixth family summer getaway to that location, cost more than $457,000 in hotels alone.

A trip to Palm Springs in February 2015 for a meeting with national leaders that featured golf, several Democratic fundraisers and filming of an episode of “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” cost taxpayers $1,189,985.70.

A weekend getaway for the president and his daughters to New York and an appearance at a Democratic National Committee fundraiser cost $576,803.85.

“The current grand total of known Obama travel-related expenses now stands at $79,630,433.93,” Judicial Watch said

Well, you probably shouldn't vote for him again. BTW, George W. Bush was the vacation king - spending 1/3 of his presidency on vacation.

Presidents don’t get vacations — they just get a change of scenery.

looks like a little too much family togetherness time to me...

 

[mamooth]

how many said they were taking no vacation?

Obama certainly didn't say it. Certain people are lying about that. ODSers do that a lot.

I read his words. Anyone can. He didn't say he'd take no vacations. He said he'd be willing to do that when necessary. In the same pledge, he said he'd forgo sleep when necessary. If ODS kooks were consistent, they'd shriek at him because he hasn't gone without sleep for 8 years.

No vacations
No golf
No war

NO TRUTH

Good for him. He deserves some r&r after all the hard work he's done.

Nothing drives home a point like quoting a news article from a satire sight. Too funny.
