Yes, that's more than the british royal family and the presidents of a bunch of countries---combined. Stunning.

"...Moreover, much of the money spent on Mr Obama's family goes to perks such as entertainment and household expenses.
For example, the White House contains a movie theatre which is manned by projectionists 24 hours a day in case one of the family feels like a trip to the cinema.

And even the Obamas' dog Bo costs the taxpayer thousands of dollars - his handler is reportedly paid over $100,000 a year.
Another huge presidential outgoing, according to Mr Gray, comes in the form of staff members who can be appointed by the commander-in-chief at his own personal discretion.

226 members of Mr Obama's staff are apparently paid over $100,000 - and the President can increase their salaries at any time...."

Agree-- but think about what's been discovered here. Even the dog has its own staff person--to the tune of $100k per year. Not to mention the other 225 making over $100k. Realize this is their PERSONAL staff.

They take a good number of these people with them when they travel and we pay for them all, plus security.

Even when they are in D.C., they host parties that can cost over one million dollars for ONE party at the White House.

Remember how they flew their favorite pizza man in from Chicago to make pizzas for them?

Their excess in a time of suffering for so many Americans is NAUSEATING. No thought given to the fact WE pay for all of this wasteful partying.

Best part about you lil whore's is that you won't admit that you nominated a piece of shit who was unelectable. You fucking neoconservatives have nothing to be mad at. You did it to yourselves. You should have nominated a conservative instead of that piece of shit Romney.

I didn't think I was going to enjoy 4 more years of you fucking neocons bullshit lies..... But I was wrong. The only good thing about Barry Obama getting 4 more years is the fact that you worthless pieces of shit will be bitching and complaining like a bunch of fucking babies.

This isn't an Obama issue, but rather, the policies in general that allow this sort of expenditure for the office.

The GOP, Rich People, and Corporate America. I call your bluff lets see if you move out of the safety of the United States. NOT!

So deal with it, we know you will spend money on your factories and you will hire people. Because with out growth the CEO of everyone of those companies will be out of a job.

So get it togather and deal with your fare share of Taxes as I have been paying atleat 33% for 35 years. It is time you do the same and you will not move or spend.

Fix it or you/GOP will never be re-elected and the republican party will go to the wayside along with the Tea Party.

That's not true. OMB and GAO are two of the author's sources. The author worked in the administrations of three presidents and is using their actual spending. No other president's employed the MASSIVE staff this one has. No other president has had such a flagrant disregard for the people ---and the cost to the nation. $6 billion they've squandered of OUR money on their pleasure would've helped millions of unemployed people 40% of whom are about to lose benefits this month.

From publisher's review on amazon:

From the sublime to the ridiculous to the truly obscene, the various perks and privileges bestowed on our Chief Executive, our self-proclaimed man of the people, include the extravagant foolishness of having twenty-six cabin crewmembers on Air Force One, along with FIVE (5) chefs! In the White House theatre, two projectionists sleep in in order to remain on duty at all times, should a First Family member or guest fancy a film. A dog walker is also always on hand. One was reported to be paid $102,000 a year to walk and pick up after the first-family s canine. On at least one airline trip in the presidential fleet, the only passengers aboard were the First Canine and his handler. In 2009, the military payroll at Camp David was $8,000,000. And these men and women were not there as replacement for the Secret Service to protect the President, but rather to serve the First Family and its guests.
On the political front, we learn that in the first months of his presidency President Obama appointed 43 high-priced czars a number far greater than any previous president, and not one of these professionals voted to office by taxpayers or subject to the approval of any other governmental body or official. During his current term he has also appointed 469 professionals who could be called, assistant presidents. 226 of them are paid over $100,000 a year and 77 of them paid as much as $172,000 a year.

The British spent $57.8 Million on its royal family last year. We Americans spent nearly $2 Billion housing, transporting, entertaining, staffing, our First Family and paying a hefty portion of the president s campaign expenses.

Every responsible citizen wants the President of the United States to be safe, comfortable and happy wherever he is. But the unchecked growth of out-of control perks, bestowed on this duly elected official without oversight by any individual or governing body, are what author Robert Keith Gray views as a dangerous surrender of the democratic process by giving the seated president a virtually insurmountable re-election advantage over his opponent.

Robert Keith Gray, a Washington DC pioneering public affairs activist and political insider who worked within the White House under three presidents and enjoyed close ties with two more, has studied this troubling issue by researching, investigating and drilling down to get to the truth about presidential perks. What he discovered led him to view the Obama lifestyle and administration as our presidency going royal.

Meticulously contrasting current presidential perks an d privileges with past presidencies, factoring in changes in inflation and other changes in the world outside the White House, Gray bravely raises this all-important question: With our current president s billion- dollar lifestyle, can we reasonably expect a president to identify with the real-world problems of his citizens tens of millions of them currently unemployed?

By time you finish reading this book, you may come to agree with Gray that the ultimate perk we the public have unwittingly given this president and all presidents to follow, unless we stop the madness is the certainly unfair, unequal and ultimately unconscionable taxpayer assisted re-election. When you arrive at that place where the invisible has become visible, the solutions he offers will hopefully spur you, and many others to take the appropriate action...before it s too late!
