Obama's Vacation Scam... - 727Sky - 07-17-2018
Quote:Trump Just Ended Obama's Vacation Scam.
Obama He was going to stick us for 2.1 billion or so.
Before Obama left office, he arranged with the State Department for a series of "official visits" to foreign countries, spanning the next 20 years.
Using discretionary funds from the Office of Presidential Visits and Vacations, Obama was able to weasel what would have been another $2.1 billion in free vacations for him and up to 24 members of his family plus staff and a dog sitter until the year 2036.
He would have, that is, had he not lost his office to Donald Trump.
Trump, who is always looking for ways to save money, was having the office used for vacations repainted when he was presented with a ledger that contained all of the Obama travel plans and expenses.
The ledger was found by one of the workers Trump hired from outside the typical White House staff to make alterations.
Trump immediately canceled the plans and recalled all Secret Service agents scheduled to protect the Obamas anywhere outside of the United States
The Obamas are also facing another new challenge at the hands of Trump.
They're going to have to repay the government for all of those vacations that weren't official state business.
The bill, after some small allowances, for days that were possibly work related, is for $214 million.
Of the 692 days the Obamas spent on vacation, almost none included any work at all. They ate, slept and golfed and Michelle was given shopping allowances from the Office of Discretionary Gifting Funds, which is supposed to be used to buy presents for visiting dignitaries.
It's just one scandal after another with these people.
Keep draining the swamp, President Trump.
Most Americans do appreciate it!

Quote:Of course, there is absolutely no truth to this story. President Obama did not steal $2.1 billion to fund family vacations until 2036, nor did President Trump end his “vacation scam” or send Obama a bill to repay the money.Shuck's !!

Since leaving the White House, ex-President Barack Obama has been doing the rounds -mainly
on his speech-making, although he has been speaking to nation leaders too.
Realising his experience as President can help the down-trodden, the vulnerable and the sensitive,
he pitches his speaking fee at US$400,000.

That's the fastest emotional roller coaster ride I've ever taken.
I went from grinning ear to ear with glee at the top of the rail, to immediately going down the deep dive to the bottom when I read your second post.
"Ahh shucks" is putting it mildly. :smallimpatient:
