lol "obama sets the example of the entitlement program"

holy crap, can this be true?

•The president can to appoint high-paid staffers without Senate confirmation: Obama has 469 senior staffers and 226 are paid more than $100,000 a year, according to the book. Seventy-seven are paid as much as $172,000 per year. He also has appointed 43 "czars."

•The president can vacation for free at Camp David: Gray writes that each round trip made to Camp David costs the taxpayers $25,350. It’s also estimated that the combined transportation and personnel costs for a Camp David visit are $295,000 per night.

•The president has a full-time movie projectionist in the White House theater: Projectionists sleep at the White House and are there 24 hours a day in case anyone needs to see a movie. "Compared to the 450 times President Carter used the movie theater in his four years in the White House, the average American citizen, according to industry statistics, goes out to see a movie slightly less than five times a year."

•The president’s family’s gets certain travel and security expenses paid while vacationing: "First Lady Michelle Obama drew flack from the media and irate citizens when it was disclosed that, not counting Saturdays and Sundays, she spent 42 days on vacation — within the span of one year."

•The president’s dog gets its own high-paid staffer: "Bo made the news when he and his handler were flown to join the president on vacation in Maine. It has been reported that the first family’s dog handler was paid $102,000, last year."

i thought the 1.4 billion was for the last four years, but nope, it was just last year. i am looking to see what other presidents have spent for similar perks.

Mark Steyn gets his facts right.

P.S.

Obama needs a projectionist, because he likes being waited on hand and foot.

He can't lift a finger to pop a DVD in.

but, but... i thought he could stop the oceans from rising and he can't pop a dvd in the player? lol. this is truly an imperial presidency.

:halox2:

Yes, an it is very shocking.

Pin this please.

hey DF, i am looking for info about former presidents and their spending on vacation and entertainment and i am having no luck. i did find some stuff but it is from left-wing publications and i don't trust them.

i am curious now if all of them spend this way?

thanks.

No, all of them did not spend this way. Obama is the Messiah, remember?

I don't think they do.

sources? don't get me wrong if this is typical, it is wrong of all of them not just oblahahaha, especially when this country is going down the toilet.

There's nothing like a photo op to fool people.




This lady got a hug from Obama, and a promise to cut red tape so she could get immediate help, after Hurricane Sandy.

Funny, that was the end of October. A month later, she hasn't anything to show for it.

The story is all over the place. I found it on The Blaze today.

unfortunately that storm hit at the right time for maximum benefit for oblah. he had great photo ops and there was not enough time for it to show that all he did was photo ops and weeks later his administration is totally inept.

this thing which keeps circling the bowl but never flushes seems to have been born under a lucky star in kenyan. everything goes his way.

Title change might spur a lot more interest.

You barely beat me to it. lol

the more i read the sicker i get:

"Sadly, the Obamas are not the only ones that are blowing U.S. taxpayer money as if there is no tomorrow.

In a previous article, I detailed how the U.S. Congress is also living the high life at your expense. The following are a few facts from that article....

-In 2010, the federal government spent $33,387 on the hair care needs of U.S. Senators.

-In 2010, U.S. Senators pulled $72,370 out of the "Senate Restaurant Fund".

-In 2010, U.S. Senators took $166,673 out of something called the "Senate Gift Shop Revolving Fund".

-In 2010, an average of $4,005,900 of U.S. taxpayer money was spent on "personal" and "office" expenses per Senator.

-Insider trading is 100% legal for members of Congress, and they refuse to pass a law that would change that.

So why don't these politicians get voted out?

Well, the truth is that both political parties are deeply corrupt, and both parties have learned that they can buy votes by promising lots of free stuff and benefits to the voters.

I have written previously about how the U.S. government gives out free cell phones and free cell phone minutes each month to welfare recipients."
