The Obama Family Trip To Africa To Cost $60 To $100 Million

President Obama and his family will be going to Africa later this month. But the trip won’t be cheap; it’s expected to cost American taxpayers $60 to $100 million, according to the Washington Post.

“When President Obama makes his first extended trip to sub-Saharan Africa later this month, the federal agencies charged with keeping him safe won’t be taking any chances. Hundreds of U.S. Secret Service agents will be dispatched to secure facilities in Senegal, South Africa and Tanzania. A Navy aircraft carrier or amphibious ship, with a fully staffed medical trauma center, will be stationed offshore in case of emergency,” reports the Post.

“Military cargo planes will airlift in 56 support vehicles, including 14 limousines and three trucks loaded with sheets of bullet-proof glass to cover the windows of the hotels where the first family will stay. Fighter jets will fly in shifts giving 24-hour coverage over the president’s airspace so they can intervene quickly if an errant plane gets too close.

To me they act more like drunk N*****'s with a stolen credit card.

Yeah, I've been ignored and slapped around for saying that before.

When I comment on their extravagant holidays to certain people.
Response
They need vacations too!!
me:Ok fine , but at their expense, not the American taxpayers.

though on a side note: I wonder if the first family could afford it, if the taxpayers weren't footing the bill
