Hi .Chip, according to most sources, Obama family travel, vacations, cross $85 million and may be as high as $100 million. I do not deny a President the right to take the time to relax. The amount they spend should probably be limited, but at a pittance of $400,000 per year as the CEO of the United States, I will cut them some slack until Congress finally caps how much they can spend.
Additionally, I do not believe we should pay for a sitting President to spend large amounts of money on campaigning for party candidates. The President should be the President of the American people not of a particular party. Of course, this will not happen because of the huge divide that now exists; especially between party affiliates.
Thanks for an interesting post and providing an opportunity to respond. My best to you always.

Just an FYI for you... Since you mentioned the cost of our last President's travel over 8 years of service. Trump's travels are set to eclipse that of the last President inside of a year.

Nice! I hope he does it 6 months before the ending of his last term, so he can be just like the last POTUS.
