The Imperial family's trip to Africa will cost taxpayers $60 to $100 Million!

The debt? The deficit? The unstable economy and rampant unemployment? Better yet, what of that sequestration? Where did we come up with $100 million dollars for this? Taxing to spend and spending to tax. They live like kings while the rest of us eat cake...

"Obama preaches this class warfare clap-trap and he lives like a billionaire off you and me."

TheWeeklyStandard: President Obama and his family will be going to Africa later this month. But the trip won't be cheap; it's expected to cost American taxpayers $60 to $100 million, according to the Washington Post.

"When President Obama makes his first extended trip to sub-Saharan Africa later this month, the federal agencies charged with keeping him safe won’t be taking any chances. Hundreds of U.S. Secret Service agents will be dispatched to secure facilities in Senegal, South Africa and Tanzania. A Navy aircraft carrier or amphibious ship, with a fully staffed medical trauma center, will be stationed offshore in case of emergency," reports the Post.

"Military cargo planes will airlift in 56 support vehicles, including 14 limousines and three trucks loaded with sheets of bullet-proof glass to cover the windows of the hotels where the first family will stay. Fighter jets will fly in shifts giving 24-hour coverage over the president’s airspace so they can intervene quickly if an errant plane gets too close.

"The extraordinary security provisions — which will cost the government tens of millions of dollars — are outlined in a confidential internal planning document obtained by The Washington Post. While the preparations appear to be in line with similar travels in the past, the document offers an unusual glimpse into the colossal efforts to protect the U.S. commander-in-chief on trips abroad."

There's no reason for this 'trip'...it's simply an extravagant vacation on the taxpayers' dime. I would say 'unbelievable', but it's not anymore...

Also, take note that this was a leak...but one that none in the Press or Congress will feign outrage over.
