TAXPAYERS - YOU AND I - SPENT $1.4 BILLION ON THE OBAMA FAMILY LAST YEAR. PERKS QUESTIONED IN NEW BOOK.

Taxpayers spent $1.4 billion on Obama family last year, perks questioned in new book

Taxpayers spent $1.4 billion dollars on everything from staffing, housing, flying and entertaining President Obama and his family last year, according to the author of a new book on taxpayer-funded presidential perks.

In comparison, British taxpayers spent just $57.8 million on the royal family.

Author Robert Keith Gray writes in “Presidential Perks Gone Royal” that Obama isn’t the only president to have taken advantage of the expensive trappings of his office. But the amount of money spent on the first family, he argues, has risen tremendously under the Obama administration and needs to be reined in.

Gray told The Daily Caller that the $1.4 billion spent on the Obama family last year is the “total cost of the presidency,” factoring the cost of the “biggest staff in history at the highest wages ever,” a 50 percent increase in the numbers of appointed czars and an Air Force One “running with the frequency of a scheduled air line.”

 

“The most concerning thing, I think, is the use of taxpayer funds to actually abet his re-election,” Gray, who worked in the Eisenhower administration and for other Republican presidents, said in an interview with TheDC on Wednesday.

 

“The press has been so slow in picking up on this extraordinary increase in the president’s expenses,” Gray told TheDC. 

Specifically, Gray said taxpayer dollars are subsidizing Obama’s re-election effort when he uses Air Force One to jet across the country campaigning.

 

When the trip is deemed political, it’s customary for the president to pay the equivalent of a first class commercial ticket for certain passengers. But Gray says that hardly covers the taxpayer cost of flying the president and his staffers around on Air Force One.

“When the United States’ billion-dollar air armada is being used politically, is it fair to taxpayers that we only be reimbursed by the president’s campaign committee for the value of one first-class commercial ticket for each passenger who is deemed aboard ‘for political purposes?’” Gray asks in the book.

“And is that bargain-price advantage fair to those opposing an incumbent president?” (SEE ALSO: Millions of taxpayer dollars used for Disney World conference)

 

In the book, Gray admits Americans want their president to be safe and comfortable but argues the system should be reformed to stop the amount of unquestioned perks given to the president.

“There is no mechanism for anyone’s objection if a president were to pay his chief of staff $5,000,000 a year,” he told TheDC. “And nothing but a president’s conscience can dissuade him from buying his own reelection with use of some public money.”

 

Aside from a salary, the president gets a $50,000 a year expense account, a $100,000 travel account, $19,000 entertainment budget and an additional million for “unanticipated needs,” he notes.

Here is a sample of other pricey taxpayer funded perks exclusively reserved for the president:

The president can to appoint high-paid staffers without Senate confirmation: Obama has 469 senior staffers and 226 are paid more than $100,000 a year, according to the book. Seventy-seven are paid as much as $172,000 per year. He also has appointed 43 “czars.”

 

The president can vacation for free at Camp David: Gray writes that each round trip made to Camp David costs the taxpayers $25,350. It’s also estimated that the combined transportation and personnel costs for a Camp David visit are $295,000 per night.

The president has a full-time movie projectionist in the White House theater: Projectionists sleep at the White House and are there 24 hours a day in case anyone needs to see a movie. “Compared to the 450 times President Carter used the movie theater in his four years in the White House, the average American citizen, according to industry statistics, goes out to see a movie slightly less than five times a year,” Gray writes.

The president’s family’s gets certain travel and security expenses paid while vacationing: “First Lady Michelle Obama drew flack from the media and irate citizens when it was disclosed that, not counting Saturdays and Sundays, she spent 42 days on vacation — within the span of one year.”

The president’s dog gets its own high-paid staffer: “Bo made the news when he and his handler were flown to join the president on vacation in Maine,” Gray wrote about the Obama family dog. “It has been reported that the first family’s dog handler was paid $102,000, last year.”

PREZ AND FAMILY VISITING COLONIAL WILLIAMSBURG THIS WEEKEND - ANYTHING TO HIDE FROM HIS DUTIES

http://www.dailypress.com/news/dp-williamsburg-mayor-president-obama-coming-to-visit-this-weekend-20110406,0,6881733.story

HOPE THEY HAVE SUCH A NICE TIME THEY FORGET TO GO BACK TO THE WHITE HOUSE.

HE'S ALREADY ABANDONED THE COUNTRY AND THE CONSTITUTION. DERELICTION OF DUTY, FAILURE TO UPHOLD HIS OATH.

HE HAS ASSOCIATED HIMSELF WITH THE UN, WITH DUAL CAPACITY TO OUR COUNTRY AND THE UN, TAKING ORDERS (LIBYA) FROM THE UN. IMPEACHABLE!

AND YOU SHOULD BE LISTENING TO ALEX JONES ON HTTP://WWW.PRISONPLANET.COM ON THIS SUBJECT, TODAY.

Time to impeach this nutcase president.

MICHELLE OBAMA'S SECRET VISIT TO SPANISH MOSQUE ON HER EXCELLENT "ADVENTURE"

http://fellowshipofminds.wordpress.com/2010/08/30/michelles-secret-visit-to-spain-mosque/

Starting off the day with a service to you. This ought to clean the plaque right out of your blood vessels!

Maybe the question is, "How much don't you want to believe", instead of "How much will you take to believe her husband is a Muslim."

Maybe she is, too.

Her mother, who lives in the White House consulted a Santaria practitioner to bless the house. I understand Obama put his foot down. I guess it insulted his muslim faith.

OBAMA DEPLETING LOBSTER SUPPLY

http://www.whitehousedossier.com/2010/08/25/obamas-depleting-lobster-supply/

On Obama's seventh adventure - they're gorging on lobster.


But he didn't eat shrimp or seafood in Panama City, FL, Dude -

Ice cream, chicken nuggets, can't remember what all else, but there were no seafood platters to be seen. However, he's gorging himself (and so is Michele Antoinette) on lobster...

Enjoy it now - You're going to fail and fail big. And even if you eat lobster on taxpayer paid pension, unless of course you're in jail for fraud), it could very well taste like bitter fruit.

OBAMA TO TAKE SIXTH HOLIDAY OF THE YEAR

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/northamerica/usa/barackobama/7952796/Obamas-to-begin-sixth-holiday-of-the-year.html

The poor family must indeed be under pressure. Yeah - looking forward to the en masse dump of Democrat/progressive/socialist/communists in November and facing our anger in every direction - for producing that stupid blurred out passport - who cares about that passport, Mr. Screw-up,
or for still trying to cover up his past, or not doing his job, and blatantly supporting communists in the Supreme Court, having a Ramadan dinner and support the Ground Zero mosque, where the ghosts of the lost are screaming in his ears night and day "NO"?

I don't have to tell you - between now and 2012 there will be another false flag horror in our country, in addition to a full fledged nuclear war with Iran that will erupt into WWIII, and the necessity of suspending the Constitution and declaring martial law. Something will happen on our border with Mexico - something's in the air. Do you feel that way, too?

Maybe that's why he's vacationing. Making a list in the Blackberry to scheme a Hegelian scenario of gargantuan proportions that will make him dictator for life.

Think about it.

OBAMA TO SKIP MEMORIAL DAY TO GO ON VACATION -

So there won't be any respect or honor to our soldiers - no wreath laid upon the tomb of the unknowns.

If everyone who has had a soldier in the family, and that soldier is dead or living, observes this holiday as a holy day of deepest emotion, then Obama needs a slap down.

He isn't going to Louisiana to aid Bobby Jindal.

He's going on vacation. With a eco-tragedy of unequalled proportion going on in Louisiana, which he has all but abandoned.

We need to impeach this piece of garbage (you thought I was going to say "shit", didn't you) and the sooner the better. How's this, military brass, sitting in the Pentagon. Doesn't it bug you a little?

A lot?

You send the kids out to fight and have their limbs or their guts or their heads blown off for drugs and oil in a war that hasn't been declared but you sent them anyway because Obama wanted them to go, and he goes on vacation instead of honoring our brave dead soldiers?

What are YOU made of?

The thumb your nose at the masses Obama family vacation...

http://www.chicagobreakingnews.com/2008/12/obama-family-in-hawaii-for-vacation.html

The chartered plane was a Boeing 767. They could have rented a private jet. They could have flown commercial, taken the Secret Service contingent and been treated like Prime Minister Tony Blair.

So much for carbon footprints - the Obama's have none.

This should be one big slap in the face for the mindless Obama crowd. He IS NOT going to pay for your health care or your car payments. But is is going to have one helluva good time at your expense. He's proving to be no better than the guys on Wall Street who deserve to be in jail.

Wonder how much the house rents for?

I saw somewhere on a Google search that this chartered commercial jet carrying only the Obamas, Secret Service and groupies (maybe not groupies - and that's worse), cost $241,000.

Does that surprise you? It shouldn't.

I'm very happy that I'm not zombified.
