Taxpayers spent $1.4 billion on Obama family last year | The Daily Caller

 

[threefiftyfour]

I would like to know what we spent on Bush?

 

[findingZzero]

I get free Bush.

This is the best I could do. Others may find more..

Obama vs. Bush on vacations, golf, etc. - is Obama "fiddling while Rome burns"?

 

[ViperJock]

I would like to know what we spent on Bush?

Why? That is so last decade. I don't understand why people perseverate on past presidents.

I'm pretty sure it's less by the way. I saw a thing a year ago showing that the Obamas had pretty much outspent every first family by a significant margin.

Of course they have. Obama is freely spends other peoples money, it is who he is. This country cant take another 4 years of a Anti America President.

 

[CathyInBlue]

Which would you rather have? Free bush, or free Busch? "Bush", of course, being used euphemisticly.

Let's see am I doing my math correct?

1.4 billion = 1.4 x 10^6
3.796 trillion = 3.796 x 10^12 (2012 federal expenses )

So to figure out the % of president epxensives vs federal bugdet we do this?

pres expenses / fed expenses X 100 = %
1.4 x 10^9 / 3.796 x 10^12
1.4 x / 3.796 x 10^3
1.4 / 3796
3.68 x 10-4 X 100%
0.0368%

So we are talking about less then 1/2% right?

Yup. We are talking almost 1/2% of 4 TRILLION DOLLARS being spent on the care of our Dear Leader, his family, his pets, and his cronies. Chump change, right?

 

[Speedybruin4]

If the first family were a country, and the $1.4Bn was counted as revenue,it would put them at 130/189 out of the country's on a list.

Yup!
Even if you cut it to zero it still does not help our situtation. but it sure does deflect the attention from the real issues.

 

[drillsgt]

It's 1/2% of money we don't have, that's all I need to know.

 

[jedi]

It's 1/2% of money we don't have, that's all I need to know.

And we did not have it when
- bush II was in
- clinton was in
- bush was in

The rest Ionly know via history so bear with me if they are not in order
- regan
- jfk
- carter
- nixon
- ike

Point being we have been broke for a long time its just now beginning to catch up to us.

Uh.... isn't runaway wasteful spending one of the "real" issues? Gotta start somewhere.

When the boat is sinking as it is now, patching the 1cm hole is not going to help when you have several large 10 feet holes. sort of like saying hey I'm over due on my house and car bill in the amount of 1K but hey Istopped buying the 5 cent candy this week at the store instead I just got the usual other stuff.

Maybe I'm wrong, but it sounds to me like you are saying....

"Hey, the boat is sinking (right now) anyway... so let's go ahead and drill some more holes."

Yup, this ship is in trouble......... BUT, I think I see Mitt and Paul headed this way, with sheet metal and under-water welding equipment!

 

[jedi]

No I'm saying don't focus on the small holes, focus on the big ones. Ifwe can cover the big ones, the ship pumps can hopefully pump out the water the small ones are taking in.

Btw mit and ryan are not going to cover/close the big ones either. They like o are not interested in saving the ship.

Taxpayers spent $1.4 billion on Obama family last year | The Daily Caller

This amount of tax payor dollars being used to 'accomodate' the president's family, and there little vacations, etc.... is insane and a real shame. In fact, it's more than that. It's down-right outrageous.

But, here's just a little portion of the true cost of the Obama presidency:

Ambassador J. Chris Stevens, 52....killed in Benghazi, Libya; 9-11-2012.

Foreign Service Information Officer Sean Smith, 34, father of two.... killed in Benghazi, Libya; 9-11-2012.

Ex-Navy S.E.A.L. Glenn A. Doherty, 42.... killed in Benghazi, Libya; 9-11-2012.

Ex-Navy S.E.A.L. Tyrone S. Woods, 41, father of two teenage sons.... killed in Benghazi, Libya; 9-11-2012

Obama's total lack of any clue about how to conduct foreign affairs, and his surrounding himself with members of his State Dept whom also don't have a clue.... is the true reason that these American citizens died far too soon. And in my personal opinion, this cost alone, out-weighs the dollars lost and squandered on the Obama family.

God help the USA....

I like this logic, if everybody else did it it's okay. Obama could have been the better man and said no you can't take this vacation to France we have a little bit of a budget problem.
