Earth to 2seaoat, Earth to 2seaoat....
1. People do not go to theaters, pay $10.00 for the "real world".
2. Vladimir Putin does not have to be "propped up". He is a genuine bad a**. He is former KGB and is a ruthless leader. He has killed thousands and never blinks an eye.
Meanwhile, President Barack Hussein Obama goes on opulent vacations suitable for the Rich and Famous.
2seaoat wrote:Yes, I dislike Putin. I think he has hurt many people and he is petty bureaucrat who has enslaved a nation which is fighting for real democracy. This Ukranian fight for true democracy has my utter respect. They have peacefully walked into an iron curtain of soviet style eastern europe control. This has nothing to do with the President. This has to do with a true hero. Boxing titles should have been enough. True courage is when somebody protects those who are weaker against one who is much more powerful. Real courage in the streets of Kiev.
2seaoat wrote:Pay attention. Putin wanted a triad alliance in Ukraine. The west led by the President said it was all or nothing. Putin poured billions into Ukraine and bought the corrupt regime and they chose Russia. Now who do you think is playing this chess game correctly? The people of Ukraine will prevail and the President's strategy once again was brilliant.
Gunz wrote:So, just how much will President Barack Obama’s Hawaiian vacation cost this year? That’s a question that can’t be definitively answered until the costs are in and the trip has concluded, but an assessment of the numbers shows that it will likely be the 44th president’s most expensive vacation to date.
The Hawaii Reporter has estimated that travel, alone, will cost $3,629,622 — a startlingly large figure considering the length of the trip. And, yes, in case you were wondering: Taxpayers will be footing a chunk of the bill. After all, it’s not cheap to ensure that the world’s most powerful leader is safe as he travels and enjoys time away from the grind.
To begin, the family is traveling separately, as Obama has had plenty to wrap up in Washington, D.C. before the holidays (i.e. the payroll tax cut drama). So, First Lady Michelle Obama already left for the family’s tropical getaway — a $100,000 expenditure, including personnel, travel and security.
Obama Familys Hawaii Vacation May Top $4 Million
Obama’s round-trip flight to Hawaii on Air Force One is estimated to be the largest expense associated with the vacation. According to the Air Force, it apparently costs $181,757 per flight hour to run the nation’s most secure (and probably its most lavish) aircraft. Thus, the total for the nine-hour trip from Washington to Hawaii and then back again will come in at $3,271,611.
And let’s not forget that a USAF C-17 cargo plane is also needed to bring Presidential limos, helicopters and other essentials along. This, too, comes at the tune of thousands of dollars. Plus, there’s security for the president and his family. A team of between four and six Marine Corps will travel along on a separate flight and require per diem and hotel, coming in at $258,000 (estimated).
The Obamas do cover the expense for their own private beach-front home in Kailua, Oahu, which costs up to $3,500 per day ($75,000 per month). However, taxpayers are responsible for housing monies associated with the U.S. Secret Service, Coast Guart and Navy Seals. There are seven houses needed to accommodate these individuals, which amounts to about $21,600 per home.
And these are only some of the costs. There are plenty of other numbers that can be crunched as well — including the local taxpayers’ burden for services needed during the president’s stay — but the total expense for the vacation, according to the Reporter, will be $4,113,038 (estimated).

It's his damn money, Markle. If he wants to stuff it up his ass...he can! WTH are you to diss him about his vacations?

There are two, identical Air Force One aircraft everywhere the President flies. That way there is no certainty as to which aircraft he is on. There is also a fighter cover that flies with both primary aircraft.
Can't you just see the kids when President Barack Hussein Obama is out of office? Gee daddy, how come we never go anyplace any more? When can we go to Africa, South America, France and Hawaii again?
Or, perhaps the Obama family will move back to Hawaii since he doesn't need Chicago any longer.
