Former Presidents cost to tax payers

[KCFlyer]

But what about the Hawaiian fuel bill?

Still can't hold a candle to Bush's 80 trips to Waco. And doesn't it take a LOT of fuel to climb for a relatively short flight versus a high altitude cruise. And I'd be pissed if Obama had taken 42 trips to Hawaii, but he didn't. Tell you what...if someone offered to write you a check payable to "delldude" and you had your choice of one of two amounts....1) is the operational costs of AF1 for "vacation" trips for Bush's first 50 months or 2) is for the operational costs of AF1 for "vacation" trips for Obama's first 50 months...which one would you pick?

Also...one thing your cut and paste doesn't mention is the Atlantis hotel tab for his kids was paid for by him, not us.

Prove it...........

Hmmmm the Brietbart folks are the one making the claim that it's on the taxpayers dime. How come they don't have to prove that? Yep...we pay for a security detail. But this might come as a surprise to you, but we also paid for security details on brush clearing bike riding vacations too.

Oh...since you ignored the earlier part - I'd take the Bush fuel bill...wouldn't you?

 

[delldude]

While you're having a hissy fit stomping up and down, you forget we have 3.5 more years of Obama's bar tab to total....so like several of your other points, this one too is moot.

 

[KCFlyer]

Yes, but based on fuel consumption in AF1 alone, in their first terms, Bush burned about 6 million more pounds of fuel on his Waco trips as Obama has on his Hawaii trips.

Doesn't matter if Bush used 5 gallons 'o gas and BaRack used 5 million, you'd just look the other way !

Kind of like you guys are looking the other way when it comes to how many vacations Bush took and how much they cost us, while bitching about "all the vacations Obama is taking".

Are you counting the continuing campaign and absence from the WH too, for the last 4.5 years?

President Barack Obama’s decision to return 5 percent of his salary to the U.S. Treasury to show solidarity with furloughed government workers may step up pressure on top federal officials and lawmakers to follow suit.
Obama will send a check to the Treasury for a portion of his $400,000 annual salary each month federal employees are forced to take un

Barack Obama Thinks Giving Back Part of His Salary Will Shut Up the Screeching Howler Monkeys

Barack Obama, the president of these here United States, has given back five percent of his salary in solidarity with the most tragic victims the world has ever known: children what didn’t get to go on their White House tours. So that’s … nice? We guess? But if anybody in the administration thinks that will make Sean Hannitty and Ghost Andrew Breitbart stop hitting them, they probably caught brain-eating syphilis from the Stupidest Man on the Internet, Jim Hoft.

Tell him to keep his 5% and to cut the vacations to 10 a year, if he really feels their pain !

Still doesn't come close to what Bush did alone. Nowhere near it.

Bush = 20 million in 8 years, Obama = 20 million in 4 years. Yeah, nowhere near it.

Where are you getting your numbers knot? Pulling them out of your ass?
