The Patriot Post® · Two Trips, $12 Million

In the midst of Obama’s anemic economic recovery, taxpayers are doling out precious millions of dollars to supplement the First Family’s junkets, and we now have a better estimation of just how much money is being expended. According to documents obtained by Judicial Watch, the Obamas’ 17-day vacation in December totaled $7,781,361.30, the cost of which excludes accommodations like rooms for his entourage and security protocols. That calculation tentatively jumps to $11.8 million when coupled with their trip to the Aloha State in 2012. Additionally, last year’s Africa tour came in at $8,104,224. That’s roughly $20 million picked from Americans’ wallet’s – likely millions more all things considered – for just three fun-filled excursions. Meanwhile, ordinary Americans continue to suffer.
