SEQUESTER JESTER: Obama's Africa trip cost up to $100 million
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."

All that for one failure of a commander in chief and his ball breaker wife? He is a human being for goodness sake, how many people back in the states could be helped with that sort of expenditure on food security housing and medical care? I understand that diplomacy is a vital part of government in a global capacity and relationships made play a big part in a countries well being, but this is obscene.

Hey - as the "Octomom said - it's just "paper"! They can print more of it!
This is always disgusting to hear how little respect our President has for our monetary system and all of it's citizens who work so hard to earn the money that he "burns through" like it was toilet paper.
