Former first ladies, like the last one, get secret service protection (like, who do they ever **** off) but much worse, they get up to $500,000 yearly for official travel expenses. Is that necessary?
And Moo also got her travel time in while in office, as just a few of these little trips show.
On a one-day, side-trip to visit two shrines in Kyoto, including one honoring a god of rice, Michelle Obama's party incurred almost $79,000 in expenses just for rental cars, Judicial Watch reports. That's a lot of tuition for girls! Or boys.
When the Obamas visited Northern Ireland in 2013, Michelle Obama took her daughters on a two-day, side-trip to Dublin. That side-trip alone cost U.S. taxpayers a quarter-million dollars, including a $3,300-a-night hotel suite of the sort Mrs. Obama prefers. The Obamas' Ireland trip set us back just under $8 million.
Dublin rental cars alone for the first lady cost $114,000.
In 2014 when Mrs. Obama, her mother and daughters toured China, she stayed in Beijing's Westin Hotel in a suite costing you $8,400 per night. Previously, that price was deemed too expensive for Vice President Joe Biden to use.
However, JB does OK. On a European jaunt two years ago Biden and his unusually large entourage had a hotel bill in London of $460,000 for one night.
The next night in Paris, the vice presidential party -- and we do mean party -- ran up one-night hotel charges of $585,000.50. Now, that's a lot of mini-bar items and in-room movies.
Does this country not deserve to crash and burn, for such arrogant, indifferent stupidity?
