In a statement released by Judicial Watch, the group stated it
had gotten its hands on documentation from the US Air Force, via
Freedom of Information Act requests, that reveals the cost of
flying Obama and Biden alone routinely exceeds hundreds of
thousands of dollars per hour in the air. According to the Washington Examiner, the president’s two golf outings this year cost roughly $2.9
million in taxpayer funds!
Judicial Watch estimates that since 2009, American taxpayers have
spent about $40 million flying Obama and Biden to various
destinations – not just golf outings in Palm Springs, California,
but also for vacations to Hawaii and trips to Africa.
Additionally, the group stated that even more money is spent on
accommodation, vehicle transportation, Secret Service protection,
and other things. The president of Judicial Watch says the amount
of spending amounts to "abuse."
Fun fact about the presidents travel funds:
On national earth day (a day to teach about the environment and our impact on it) Barrack Obama asked
for a call of action on a comprehensive clean energy and climate bill,
Then boarded his plane (Air force one) which consumes $68,000 in fuel consumption per hour! Plus another $68,000 per hour for Air Force 2, an exact replica!
