 Baldo. If that was bush or any other republican spending that much taxpayer money flying to Hawaii every year not to mention his wife going wherever she pleases on the tax payers dime you would be all over it. But since its your guy its OK. Whats another 4.8 Million when he has doubled the national debt since he has been in office.

Regardless of the party affiliation, we're paying for the President's and VP's expensive vacation.   I try to put myself into his shoes when I consider what I would do.   I use to be a state employee, got to travel at the taxpayer's expense, I was always cognizant of what I was spending but then, I had a boss that had to approve my expense report.    That travel had to be approved before I took the trip.   Knowing that being top dog has it's benefits, one would hope POTUS would have a little respect for the folks paying for it.   $4.8 Million does seem a bit excessive.  

I'm curious and don't know but, it's there a budget somewhere that has to be adhered to?   Probably not, especially for a lame duck POTUS.    I would imagine that POTUS takes all his friends, "friendly" Press, security and their families along (at least those who wish to go to Hawaii for the holidays).    Would hate to see that 747 go with empty seats.  

[gordonv]

I don't know or really care, it's not my country, but I have a question.

Would this cost not be the same for any vacation taken, by any president and their family, to anywhere? Sure, a little more, flying to Hawaii and the like, but if he was to have gone anywhere, it would still cost a fortune.

We just had our Prime Minister here in Vancouver, going around to the local media outlets, radio/TV. One of the questions asked to his detail checking out the radio booth, was how many RCMP on his detail? 300+. Between the people, the sniffer dogs, etc, etc, this circus would cost a fortune too.

One thing about having a national police force, there are local people to handle this, but the regular patrols still need to happen, and most likely these people are all working OT.

[Daddie O]

It costs 3.5 Million per week that Trump is at Trump Tower in NYC, and that is just NYC's expense, not including the federal spending.  I'm sure you're outraged at that too.

[Rams]

Actually, that does piss me off.   Trump and family should take their butts out to one of his country estates that can be secured and take care of business from there.    That is where he lived prior to election and is no different than where any POTUS as far as securing his home IMHO.   Just happens to be some very expensive real estate.    

But, the fact that he's not getting paid (or will) to be POTUS does carry some weight with me also.

Did I suggest it should carry any weight with you?   

Read my post again.   What does it cost to protect Obama's home in Chicago?   Of course, Chicago versus New York City are different but, it's their home.   

But, go ahead, jump on that train.       Anything to jump on Trump.

The Clinton's actually built a home for his SS protection and then charge the tax payer 10 grand a month to rent it back to the SS so they would have a place to work from.   If Trump was smart, he'd rent the SS a floor or two similar to what the Clinton's did but at a much higher rate.   

Back on topic:   As I said previously, regardless of who the President is, I think they should be cost conscious.

Ha !!! Just wait to see what he's got lined up for tomorrow .

[scooperhsd]

Robert (yes this is aimed at you) -

There's more than a few things you are not taking into account complaining about the "Obama's vacation".

#1 - Why does the President travel in AF1 ? Because it's the "mobile White House" - if something happens that would put the President in danger / needs to deal with an emergency situation - AF1 is probably the best place for him to be. All communications that he can possibly need are there and available. The "football" has to travel with him. A significant part of his WH staff needs to travel with him (although not necessarily stay at the same location. His SS detail needs to have sufficient manpower that they can do a good and proper job. And there's plenty of space in AF1 for some press if necessary. Don't you remember 9/11 when GWB was on a trip in FL ? He then spent the better part of the day flying between safe AF bases (and picking up a fighter escort to boot). Yes- Trump has said he'd rather take his own plane - but when he gets a whole picture view - I'm pretty sure he'll be flying AF1 as a matter of course on official business.

#2 - Given the nature of his job - I don't begrudge him taking some vacation time when he can. If you look at the pictures of each president from when they entered office and again when they left it - you can SEE how much it has aged them.

#3 - You DO realize that ex-President's ALSO get a SS detail, as well as their spouses ? I'm not sure if their kids are also impacted, but it wouldn't surprise me.

Yes we realize you don't like Obama - but you DON'T need to post about everything he's doing / has done that you don't think he should either. Get a life away from the political crap - this IS a Valkyrie MOTORCYCLE board - why don't you talk about your rides and issues with servicing your bike ?

Just my opinion....

[baldo]

Only times the libs get concerned about spending is when its on someone other than their own candidates or party.
You do realize that Trump is staying in the tower till the school year is out so they don't have to rip their son out of school mid year.

I agree 100% with the closing thought once the name is left open.  It certainly applies to both sides.  There are probably a dozen to whom I could give this advice unfortunately including some of my friends.     

[Robert]

Well it is no secret I dont like him and its no secret that Meathead, Baldo, and you dont like Trump. So how about this, I took 8 years of crap and didn't say that much and am willing to flush all the feces down the toilet without saying much else if you guys will do the same.

Deal?

By the way when Trump was elected I got a great Christmas present the saving of the US so MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL 

[cookiedough]

Will see what Trump does and who pays for his family vacations.  If he is smart, he will foot the bill 100% for his own family vacations even if he only accepts his new position for a one dollar salary pay.  He does NOT need the money and this would put most Americans maybe not in favor of Trump, but would be a huge stepping stone to make the American people believe he is actually doing something good saving taxpayers money for a change.

I have no reason to believe his truce. He just said he took 8 years of crap and didn't say much. Total BS. But I will try to limit my criticism of Trump. Out of courtesy to my conservative friends here.

[art]

Too damn late to worry about how much it cost for his vacation, I just wish he would stay there and never bother us again. No such luck on that . His whole 8 years in office has cost us much more than his vacation amount, I will take many years to repair the damage he has done to this country. Fumigate the White House so some one else can live there and work there. Good riddance to the POS.

If that was bush or any other republican spending that much taxpayer money flying to Hawaii every year not to mention his wife going wherever she pleases on the tax payers dime you would be all over it. But since its your guy its OK. Whats another 4.8 Million when he has doubled the national debt since he has been in office.

Hell I guarantee you it costs us over a million bucks every time that asshole plays golf.

[scooperhsd]

Robert - at this point, I'm going to refrain from comments on how Mr. Trump is performing as President until he is actually President, and then only comments on what he says and does in official capacity. Although he is getting better about this, I still think he needs to measure what he is saying and think before speaking, instead of trying to explain what he meant afterwards. Other than that, I'm in a wait and see about his performance. It would be good if he can carry through some of his promises, but it will take more than just him to make that happen (he can't tell Congress "You're fired"  ).

To be blunt - I didn't care for (and didn't vote for) EITHER of the 2 major party candidates.  Some of you may call that a wasted protest vote, but in NC, it will help the candidate's party be on the next ballot easier. Choice is good.

I'm surprised they have only spent 85 million, seems like it would have been more considering where they go and what they do.  It also wouldn't surprise me if the golf games did cost 1 million apiece considering everything and everyone involved.


I'd like to know how much the Bush's vacations cost.

I think that would be more like comparing apples with apples. I doubt I would be surprised at the answer.

[Jess from VA]

Back in SoCal, I got an invite to a time share pitch party, with a guarantee I would win something worth $300.  The Vette drop top was all done, it was a beautiful day, so me and the wife headed down to San Clemente to subject ourselves to the BS.  San Clemente is yuppy heaven and these beach front time shares were among the most expensive on the planet.  But you have to sit through the BS to get the prize.  

So the yuppy socialite pitchwoman with the big hair and multiple carat diamonds on her fingers was pitching the BS heavy, and argued how folks wasted so much money on vacations and never got anything like equity in return (like a time share).  So she turns to me and the wife and asks us to explain our last vacation.

Well lets see, we drove down the freeway from Riverside to Fallbrook, cut through the Naval Weapons Station to the back side of Camp Pendleton and got a BOQ room at Pendleton for about 17 bucks a night.  We had dinner at the O'club twice for about 20 bucks each night.  And we spent our days at the Oceanside beach for free.  So what did the whole vacation cost honey?  I don't know exactly, but it must have been almost a hundred dollars, altogether.  

This did not serve the pitchwoman's argument very well for a $75K time share buy in and she gave us a very dirty look and did not ask us any more questions.  The bastards reneged on the $300 gift, and I got a tiny cheapo black and white TV with clock radio that probably sold for $42.99.

Wonder what the math works out to?

[Robert]

I would be happy to tell you what that works out to, thanks for asking.

I thought you may be interested in this little factual bit of information since you quoted the time alone in comparison to Bush and Obama, this will shed light on the matter. As the old saying goes the devil is in the details.

I know Obama campaigned for Hillary also which was not in this count and was a personal expense. If you are counting AF1

President Bush has roots in the US, Obama really does not that is why he is settling in Washington and Bush settled in Texas.

BIG difference Between Obama VS Bush "vacations"..Taxpayers paid for Obama!!
http://www.usmessageboard.com/threads/big-difference-between-obama-vs-bush-vacations-taxpayers-paid-for-obama.371206/

What is the MAJOR,MAJOR difference though between Bush's vacations and Obama?

Taxpayers pay for MOST of Obama's vacation visits to Ca.,FL. Ireland, Africa, Hawaii,Martha's vineyard,Aspen,et.al. and how many times has Obama been to his home in Chicago?

He will likely miss the place: According to CBS News White House Correspondent Mark Knoller, today's trip marks Mr. Bush's 149th visit to the presidential retreat.
The planned three-day stay, during which the president is being joined by family and former and current aides, will bring his total time spent at Camp David to all or part of 487 days.

Yes, that's 487 days. And Camp David is not even where the president has spent the most time when not at the White House: Knoller reports that Mr. Bush has made 77 visits to his ranch in Crawford during his presidency, and spent all or part of 490 days there. 26 at Kennebunkport, Maine.

Obama has made 33 visits to the official Camp David presidential retreat in Maryland, totaling all or part of 84 days.

487 Days At Camp David For Bush - CBS News

So between the Crawford,Texas HOME that GWB owns and Kennebunkport HOME that his Father owns, Bush spent 516 days of the "vacation" days ON his and his family's OWNED property... NONE of which required hotel deposits, hotel payments for the Bush Family!
Remember these VACATION DAYS were to their homes!

OBAMA???
Obama begins a nine-day vacation on Martha’s Vineyard, Mass., where he spent summer vacation in each of the first three years of his presidency.
He skipped his annual Vineyard vacation during last year’s re-election campaign. (Remember.. getting re-elected more important then being President!!!)
Washington - By The Numbers: Obama's and Bush's Presidential Vacations

    NONE of which would apply to the times GWB spent at Crawford or Kennebunkport... and remember Bush was working just as Obama said HE WAS working!
    It's just Obama goes to places that COST TAXPAYERS... Bush went to his home or his Dad's home at NO hotel/lodging,food,entertainment cost to the tax payers!
