TRUMP JUST ENDED OBAMA'S VACATION SCAM
Obama 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. His scheme involved using discretionary funds from the Office of Presidential Visits and Vacations. Obama was planning to use what would have been another $2.1 billion in free vacations for him and up to 24 members of his family plus staff and even a security detail.
He would have, that is, until Donald Trump put a stop to it. Trump, who is always looking for ways to save money, 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. Trump immediately canceled the plans and recalled all Secret Service agents scheduled to protect the Obama’s 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.

America should have had quite enough of the Obamas, the Clintons and their associates. No more free rides.
