If you were denied the right to visit the WH on a tour and you want to sue for discrimination, contact me. Contact every congressman, demand to cut funding for Obama family vacations and fund the White House tours, which the Usurper in Chief had canceled in March of 2011 due to budget constrains, while he squandered 100 million on 1 week vacation in Africa. Now Michelle wastes millions with a staff of 70 traveling in China. Stop it, restore the White House tours

THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS! It’s time to STOP Obama’s EXTRAVAGENT TRIPS in response to the White House’s UNCONSTITUTIONAL power grabs!
OF CONGRESS, DEMANDING THEY TAKE ACTION
AGAINST BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA’S
EXTRAVAGANT FAMILY VACATIONS:
SEND YOUR MESSAGE NOW!
Yep — this is nothing new! When President Obama went to sub-Saharan Africa recently, the federal agencies charged with keeping him safe spent up to ONE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS on him and his family!
In fact, newly-released records — that the White House tried to suppress — have now shown us that the Obamas are spending MORE than ANY Presidential family IN HISTORY on these trips:
“It took filing a lawsuit, but Judicial Watch discovered Friday that President Obama has set a new record for travel on the taxpayer dime. The conservative watchdog group obtained travel records from the U.S. Department of the Air Force that show the Obamas racked up $7.4 million during just three trips in 2013 — in flight expenses only… Judicial Watch filed the lawsuit in August 2013, after repeated stonewalling by the White House.”
According to a shocking report from the Washington Post:
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 an emergency.
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.
SO, the President goes on and on about how terrible Congress is for the “drastic” cuts (that weren’t really cuts at all)… but HE gets to spend a cool hundred millon ANOTHER overseas vacation for his family… which he writes off as a “crucial” official visit to “partners in regional security conflicts” in order to “forge stronger economic ties”!
HYPOCRISY much? Thankfully, there are Members of Congress who ARE paying attention and looking out for US, the taxpayers! For example:
“Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.) said Monday that he’s thinking of a few thing Congress can do to counter President Obama’s executive overreach, including cutting off money for his vacations.
‘Number one, my colleagues in the Senate have advise and consent, if they want to shut down the Senate over appropriations bills or ambassadorships or other things. The Constitution gives them the power of advise and consent. The Constitution gives us power over the purse,’ Gowdy said on Fox. ‘So we have appropriation bills that are going to be coming to the House this spring.We ought to strip money away from this executive branch, because our framers gave us that exclusive right to do so. If one branch overreaches then maybe the other branch ought to stick up for itself.'”
We saw similar action taken last year. According to a report in The Hill, Rep. George Holding (R-NC) suggested that rather than spend $100 million on President Obama’s pending trip to Africa, the administration should fund the White House tours canceled under sequestration. “For the cost of this trip to Africa, you could have 1,350 weeks of White House tours, which the White House has canceled indefinitely due to budget constraints,” Holding said on the House floor. As Rep. Holding also noted, with the country more than $16 trillion in debt, the administration should not be looking to spend $100 million on a weeklong visit to Africa!
Finally, Rep. Chris Stewart (R-UT) introduced H.Res. 111, the “White House Tour Resolution”, demanding that President Obama refrain from taking more vacations at the taxpayers’ expense until he reopens the White House for regular daily public tours. As Rep. Stewart said, “the President is asking the people to sacrifice, but never himself. We don’t have a problem with him taking vacations, but it seems petty to close the White House to tours, when forgoing one or two out-of-town vacations would easily pay for the cost of keeping it open. It’s unfortunate that instead of choosing to eliminate wasteful or duplicative government spending as a result of the President’s sequester, he has chosen to close the White House to the public. The President is again showing his dedication to politics and not to pursuing sound public policy.”
America can no longer afford to finance this pretend “royal family” and the hundreds of millions of dollars they spend on VACATIONS!

Even the liberal New York Times has reported on the fact that “as federal workers brace for a summer filled with unpaid furlough days, [the Obamas] are traveling the nation and globe on trips that exude luxury.” The excuses we’re hearing like “past presidents did it”, and the official White House comment that this whole boondoggle will be “a great bang for our buck”, just won’t hold water this time — Americans are facing the most severe economic hardships in decades, and this is NOT the time to be spending MORE taxpayer money on Obama family vacations!
It’s one thing for the President to make official State visits — it’s another thing for him to keep using these visits as excuses for all-expenses-paid jaunts for Michelle and the girls. It’s time for Congress to tell Obama to STOP wasting MILLIONS of dollars taking taxpayer-funded trips, when he won’t even open the White House for school kids’ tours. That’s why we need to take immediate action and get this resolution passed! But we need YOUR help —send your Blast Faxes to every single Member of Congress NOW!

P.S. As Breitbart has reported, Obama has traveled to Hawaii every winter, which cost taxpayers at least $20 million during his first term alone. The Obama daughters vacationed at the Atlantis Resort in the Bahamas with a full Secret Service detail, even as the White House claimed they “couldn’t afford to pay” Secret Service agents $74,000 a week to continue the popular White House tours for other students who are on their spring vacations in Washington, D.C.
The Obamas, averaging a vacation a month, have gone to Martha’s Vineyard multiple times while the country was in recession and Americans were struggling to find jobs. Michelle Obama has taken awhirlwind trip to Spain and a ski trip to Aspen. Barack Obama took 13 vacations in his first term, which spanned all or part of 83 days. In 2011 alone, Michelle Obama may have cost taxpayers $10 million on vacations herself. Obama’s fantasy golf outing with Tiger Woods this year cost local law enforcement in Florida a reported$78,205.
Isn’t it time the American people CRIED OUT against this lavish lifestyle… at OUR expense? You and I need to STAND UP and DEMAND that Congress TAKE ACTIONNOW!

You might want to know that the First Family’s vacations, clothes, food, etc is all paid for with PRIVATE FUNDS. The only thing the taxpayers pay for is Secret Service protection they would get no matter where they are.

when they traveled to Africa, their protection cost us 100 million. Enough, this money should go for the security of the WH tours.
PS I do not believe that we are paying only for protection, we also pay for multiple other expenses, such as Air Force 1, transportation, secretaries ,all the staff, so on.

Citing a recent report in the Washington Examiner that found through the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) that taxpayers are on the hook for about $228,288 per Air Force One flight hour in 2013, a 27 percent increase from the previously confirmed cost of $179,750 per fight hour that NTUF used in its last study, the taxpayer watchdog concludes that Obama’s flights have cost taxpayers more than any other president.
