As the Miami Herald notes, federal taxpayers pay about $180,000 per flight hour for Obama to take Air Force One, while local taxpayers are forced to pay for much of the costs dealing with security.
Miami police spokesman Robert Hernandez told the Herald that they are "NOT reimbursed for this expenditure" and "estimated the cost of presidential visit security at $10,000 to $55,000."

Uh... deny the Affirmative Action president service if the sponsor won't pay for it.
Satan at his very best , Obama the devil.
tell him he's not welcome and if he insists he must pay for all the expenses...
How can the local police force be required to pay for it? The local police force are under the command of the city or county council and unless they vote to accept the extra expenses it can not be required. The day he shows up just put them all on vacation.
What is he "fundraising" for? He's already president.
9:17 He's still campaigning for people to believe him. The latest polls I saw is 58% now don't. I was in the 1st% when he said, during the election of 2008, that current members and veterans of our military should pay for their own health care. And then goes on to exempt Muslims from Obamacare.
Where are all the crazy people when you need them?
Yes. PULEEEEEASE! send all the police on vaca the morning Obama shows up, and let the local mental hospital know as well, so they can release their "cured" patients!
