Guess How Much Taxpayer Money Barack Obama Has Spent On Travel?
As American’s struggle to get along with a weak economy, President Obama seems to have no moral dilemma spending $44,351,777 of taxpayer dollars on his extravagant travel plans and accommodations.
That’s already more than any other president in history, and he still has nearly two more years left in his presidency.
His infamous date nights to New York with the First Lady only scratch the surface of his expenditures on the taxpayers’ tab.
According to Judicial Watch, “President Obama incurred $7,396,531.20 in flight expenses alone for his 2013 vacations to Hawaii and Martha’s Vineyard and his trip to California to appear on the Jay Leno Show.”
If only this President spent more time working with Congress to help the American people, and less time jetting across the country.

The Obamas have spent over 44 million dollars in taxpayer money on travel and vacations. Some are even calling him the “most well-trvaeled, expensive” president in our nation’s history.
