THE ROYAL PRESIDENCY AND WHAT IT'S COSTING US

The redistribution of $1.4 billion each year.

The most luxurious and costly royal presidency in history. 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.”

Perspective: $1.4 billion is equal to spending seven times Mitt Romney’s entire net-worth every year. If Romney had to pay for Barack and Michelle’s lifestyle this year, he would have been bankrupted by the third week in February.

Now, who's talking about the evil, freeloading rich people, who didn’t build anything and who need to "pay a little bit more."

LET THEM EAT CHRISTMAS TREE NEEDLES WHILE WE BASK IN HAWAII FOR $4 MILLION OF THEIR TAXPAYER DOLLARS...WHO CARES IF THERE'S NO GIFT FOR LITTLE TANISHA, KAYLEE, BILLY, MIGUEL, OR ANYONE ELSE...ASK US IF WE CARE!!!!!

I don't know why they need any trees; they won't even be in the White House for the holidays.
They're leaving for a three week Hawaii vacation on the 17th of December; taxpayer funded, of course.
I know, he needs some time off.  It's not easy turning the most successful nation in history into a failure.
It's hard work.

Fiscal cliff?  What fiscal cliff?  Who cares?

As Americans face a fiscal cliff, the Obamas make do with 54 Christmas trees

Amazing how a reelection can reshape an incumbent's thinking about many things. Now safely ensconced in the White House for 49 more months, the Obamas have decorated the place with 54 Christmas trees this year.

Even allowing for the usual Washington excesses with taxpayer money, that's a whole grove of Christmas trees.

"We have 54 trees in the White House," an excited Michelle Obama proudly told visitors the other day. "54!  That’s a lot of trees."

In fact, the Obamas' 54 trees this year are almost 50% more Christmas trees than last year. That was during the campaign before Obama whispered a reminder to the Russians that he had to be careful until Nov. 6, when a victory would give him more "flexibility."

Now, how much carbon do you suppose those 54 trees could be sequestering had they not been chopped by this green president?

And no wonder Obama talked over the weekend about addressing tax increases before any of that annoying business about cutting spending to address this thing called the national debt, now having soared past $16.3 trillion..

In addition to 54 Christmas trees, Michelle Obama has overseen the placement of thousands of ornaments in public rooms. Many of the ornaments celebrate the Obama family dog, Bo, who seems to have become the First Family's favorite symbol of Christmas. Other decorations, including on the more prominent trees, were made by children in schools on U.S. military bases.

There's several hundred yards of garlands and wreaths all over the hallways and rooms. And, of course, a traditional gingerbread house that has working chandeliers and weighs about 300 pounds.

Last year, according to Mrs. Obama, some 90,000 visitors viewed her White House decorations. The irony is this year the main residents of the White House won't be there for most of the holiday period and for both major holidays.

According to notices distributed to residents of an exclusive waterfront neighborhood in Hawaii, they can expect to enjoy restricted access and other inconveniences to their homes and normal lives from Dec. 17 through Jan. 6. That's about a 50% longer holiday vacation than last year.

The inconveniences stem from security requirements for the vacationing Obamas and a large number of their accompanying friends. Obama's staff will have to put up with rooms in a nearby luxury hotel.

The Coast Guard will be patrolling surrounding canals. Navy SEALs will be doing whatever SEALs do on security detail. The Secret Service and local police will man numerous area roadblocks and perhaps even some bushes.

The estimated costs to taxpayers of this latest vacation foray is in excess of $4 million. The largest single expense is Obama's 747 jet, Air Force One, which runs about $182,000 per flight hour. It's a nine-hour journey, each way, between Washington and Honolulu. That's about $1,638,000 one-way. Their bags fly free.

Those transportation totals do not include the costs of Air Force cargo planes to haul the fleet of armored cars to the island and back, so the Obamas can visit Hawaii friends, beaches and restaurants. And so the president can get to a nearby Marine base for his morning workouts and to various golf courses with friends.

Besides covering the Christmas and New Year holidays, Obama's vacation dates also strangely coincide with what was expected to be the peak negotiating window for Obama and congressional Democrats and Republicans to address the so-called fiscal cliff. Until recently the cliff has been described as something of a financial doomsday, albeit one that Obama and Capitol Hill protagonists set for themselves.

These are automatic combined tax hikes and drastic additional budget cuts, mainly to defense, scheduled to occur in the first hours of January, the product of similar last-minute negotiations two years ago.

So far, according to both sides, the talks have not progressed well. The president, who took yesterday off to play golf, may be confident of complete success in the remaining 14 days.

Or perhaps Obama will leave Joe Biden in charge of closing the deal, since the vice president's oversight of the $800 billion stimulus spending so effectively spurred the economy.

OBAMA DANGEROUSLY CLOSE TO A KILLER RABBIT MOMENT

http://conservativebyte.com/2011/08/obama-dangerously-close-to-a-killer-rabbit-moment/

TROOPS IN AFGHANISTAN THROUGH 2024 - OBAMA LIES AGAIN! PUT HIM IN A UNIFORM, GIVE HIM A RIFLE, & LET HIM FIGHT THE ENDLESS WAR HE HELPED CREATE.

Today he's golfing. He is King of America. No expense spared. This pisses me off, and it should you, too. It's OUR money! Motorcades for two. Helicopters for two. Jets for two. What they are spending for the 10 days could support how many jobless families?

This is NOT COOL, Slick. Not now, not ever, when we are in a turmoil over jobs, Biden groveling at the feet of the Chinese government, Al Gore and his green crap, people losing their homes, price of energy, the totalitarian police force known as Homeland Security and TSA, and the losses of our soldiers in these stupid, endless wars that will never see resolution.

GET YOUR SKINNY ASS BACK TO THE WHITE HOUSE AND DO SOMETHING WORTHWHILE FOR YOUR BOSSES (AND THAT DOESN'T MEAN THE GLOBALISTS, IT MEANS "US"), YOU USELESS PIECE OF HUMAN EXCRETA! OR JUST QUIT THE JOB AND GO WRITE A BOOK!

WE WON'T MISS YOU!

RON PAUL FOR PRESIDENT!

Also - got an email this a.m. from my friend, Mike on the east coast - a screaming conservative.
He just heard on the news that Obama has only spent 30 per cent of his time at work. If you have a confirmation on that one, please leave a comment. I'm trying to find it.

Obama's golfing today. Call him "NERO".

BO (1ST DOG'S) MAINE VACATION

I'm no stranger to taking family pets on vacation. I, working under a wildlife rehabber's license in CA years ago, took my fledgling raven on a houseboat vacation on the Sacramento delta. He learned to fly inside the houseboat - from table to the bread stowed on top of the refrigerator across from him. We took the dog, too.
On that trip, Max sat on the back seat with my son; the raven in his cage (Orville), wasn't happy, to he sat on my shoulder for the rest of the drive - there and back. I took my hibernating desert tortoise (fully licensed in the state of CA) to New York when my mother was ill. He traveled in my oversized handbag and never knew the difference. He woke up in the spring.

We always took one or two dogs. Sometimes 3 or 4. Even in a tent! What's the deal with the first dog? I don't think I'd like to be Bo. I think Holly, my Australian shepherd, old and still beautiful, is a happier girl. Bet Bo never gets a visit in the Oval Office.

Isn't the handler involved with Barry in another way? I seem to remember that name...


Bo's Vacation in Maine

I guess since they had to swallow their pride and use the Gulfstream there just wasn't enough room for the dog and one other person on Air Force One.

Did you know that President Barack Hussein Obama flew Bo, their dog, in on a separate smaller jet to Maine for their vacation? I wonder if that sets well with all the unemployed, hurting, U S citizens who can't afford food, but we can pay for this. The above is true. I Googled "Bo the dog flying to Maine" and got 76,700 references verifying this. One of them follows:

Michelle Malkin: Just Plane Crazy: Obama’s Dog Flies to Vacation on Separate Jet Doug Powers: The Obamas arrived at their vacation spot in Maine, and the local paper, the Morning Sentinel, described the scene:

The president was the first to walk onto the tarmac, dressed casually in a pale blue Oxford shirt and khakis. A few minutes later, the first lady, dressed in black caprice, a tank-top and sandals, walked onto the runway. Shortly afterward, Malia and Sasha joined their parents. Baldacci and his wife, Karen, presented the family with gift bags full of Maine-made goodies, including baskets made by the Passamaquoddy Tribe, popcorn from Little Lad’s Bakery in East Corinth, iconic L.L. Bean bags, University of Maine ice hockey hats, and an assortment of other Maine foods and books.

Karen Baldacci said the bags for Malia and Sasha contained one loon toy and one chickadee toy that sound their natural calls. Arriving in a small jet before the Obama’s was the first dog, Bo, a Portuguese water dog given as a present by the late U S Sen. Ted Kennedy, D-Mass.; and the president’s personal aide Reggie Love, who chatted with Baldacci.

The president who said the rest of us are going to have to sacrifice to get out of these hard economic times let his dog fly on his own plane? Not enough room on Air Force One (a Gulfstream on this trip) for a Portuguese water dog and Reggie Love?

My dog saw this story and wants his own jet now, too.

Oh, by the way, Mr. Love, Bo's handler, is paid $102,000 a year to take care of him. What side of the ballot will you mark in November? This man is taking the nation for every cent he can and then some.

CAN YOU BELIEVE THIS? IT’S GOOD USE OF OUR MONEY, HUH?

A LITTLE SOMETHING FOR BARRY AND THE SOETOROS TO WATCH WHILE FLYING DOWN TO RIO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This can't be true...that's he's making one speech and vacationing for $75,000 a night for the family and Grandma? That's without security, his retinue, his courtesans, expenditures for Air Force One, etc.

If you can clear up that rumor, please leave it in comments, or if you can confirm it, leave it there, too.

Chica, Chica Boom Chic!

Maybe we'll see paparazzi pix of Michelle in a thong and Barry in Speedos.....I will leave you with that nauseating thought. Goodnight.
