The Taxpayer Cost To Maintain Obama’s Golf Handicap: Over $3 Million

As the nation shivered through February and March and saw it’s gross domestic product collapse as humans hibernated, President Obama sought sunnier climes to ensure US supremacy on the world-leader’s golf handicap rankings. As The Washington Times reports, however, Obama’s trips this year to the golfing playgrounds of Palm Springs and Key Largo cost taxpayers nearly $3 million for flight expenses alone on Air Force One.
As The Washington Times reports,
The activist group Judicial Watch said the trips in February and March cost $2,952,278 for flight expenses of Air Force One.
Mr. Obama combined his trip to Palm Springs with an event to highlight California’s severe drought. Critics noted he spent the rest of the weekend golfing on exclusive courses in the desert that use about 1 million gallons of water per day to keep them green.
During March 7-9, the First Family spent Spring Break at the exclusive Ocean Reef Club in Key Largo, Fla., where members must have a minimum net worth of $35 million to join. Other expenses of that trip have not been made public.
“It is clear that the Obamas continually abuse the perks of the president’s office at taxpayer expense,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. “And it is particularly interesting that Obama has chosen to take not one but two luxury vacations back-to-back while inveighing against ‘income equality.’ President Obama’s waste of the hard-earned tax dollars of working Americans on unnecessary luxury travel is an abuse of office.”
According to records obtained by Judicial Watch, through Freedom of Information Act requests and lawsuits, the Obamas and Vice President Joseph R. Biden and wife Jill have spent more than $40 million taxpayer dollars on trips since 2009.
Well, it’s not like there was anything else going in the world…?!
But there’s always time to relax…
The outrages of the government, demons and repugnats, have me spitting mad.
There is no shame when you are king of the world.
This empire needs to collapse but soon.
Fuck Obama. How much did his excursions to gay bathhouses cost? He’s singlehandedly wiped out this country in 5 1/2 years, and he isn’t done yet. Bathhouse Barry makes Jimmy Carter look like Einstein. He pisses on the constitution and bill of rights every day, he’s destroyed the rule of law, turned our country into an oligarchy/plutocracy, and has run up more debt than any president in the history of this country. Good thing the Jews, women, blacks, Mexicans and millennials love him. We will never recover from Obama.
What little is left of our country will be totally destroyed in Hillary’s first term. Obama is just an asscolwn that hates white people and has done everything possible to destroy white civilization. Hillary is much more dangerous. She is pure evil and has the smarts and connections to put the final nails in the coffin.
Bubba goes back to school..

Obama is what happens when there is no functioning press/news/media. And so, we’re finished.

T4C, I’m totally with you.
Very doable, and very unlike Chris Matthews, Mr. O never made my knees tremble.
Me thinks Mr. Putin would.
Or, as many other powerful men, he would want to be dominated, and his sex appeal plummets.
So it goes…
