Taxpayers slapped with $866,615 jet fuel bill for Obama's Earth Day speech
President Obama's decision to take his Earth Day speech attacking climate change "deniers" to Florida, home of two GOP presidential candidates, cost taxpayers $866,615.40 just for the flight of Air Force One.
Taxpayer watchdog Judicial Watch revealed Wednesday that the Air Force provided documents showing the flight expenses of flying the jumbo jet 4.2 hours to Miami. He was then helicoptered 20 minutes to the Florida Everglades for his speech.
Other costs, such as security, communications and staff were not provided, but would put the speech price at way over $1 million.
I have to wonder if this subject would be so greatly important to him if he had to foot the entire bill. I really doubt it. He doesn't care about anything or anyone, it is just his way of sticking it to the taxpayers so he and his ilk can travel the world on our dime.
