"According to the newly released records obtained by Judicial Watch, the Obama family’s October 11 flight from Los Angeles, where he had attended three high-dollar fundraisers, to San Diego, and then from San Diego back to Washington on October 12, required a total of 4.7 hours of flying time at $206,337 per hour. That brought the total flight cost to taxpayers to $969,783.90. The records do not include the flight time to travel from Washington, DC, to Los Angeles (through Oregon, Seattle, and San Francisco), nor the Secret Service costs or other expenses." Previously released documents show the flight time from Washington to Los Angeles to be five hours, which safely adds $1,031,685 and brings the known total to expense to...
$2,001,468.90
That's what he spent just in travel expenses alone to fundraise and play golf. Read what he has spent on vacations since elected It is SHOCKING.
We really need a fiscal conservative in The Whitehouse.

I have a hard time believing it costs almost $1,000,000 to fly almost 5 hours... If that were true, then the next time a Delta Boeing 757 with 190 passengers on board flying from NYC to LA would cost $5,273 per seat.
Ok, say it's a Boeing 747 with 398 on board the cost would be $2,512 per seat...
I think the price tag needs to be revisited.
Perhaps their Air Force 1 needs to be revisited.
