Michelle Obama’s ‘goodwill tour’ of Africa cost taxpayers over $425,000, according to a taxpayer watchdog group.

Documents obtained under a federal Freedom of Information Act lawsuit filed by Judicial Watch detail costs incurred during the First Lady’s trip to South Africa and Botswana in June – with the cost of firing up ‘Air Force 2′ alone amounting to $424,142.

The White House earlier professed the purpose of the trip was to help ‘youth leadership, education, health and wellness’ in south Africa.

Judicial Watch said it based the jet costs on the U.S. Department of Defense’s published hourly rates for the C-32A aircraft – a specifically configured military version of the Boeing 757.

During the June 21-27 trip, the group accounted for 34.8 flight hours at $12,188 per hour.

  1. That $425,000 could have helped AMERICANS but I see where they rate — dead last — as usual.

    Here they are on a junket… another taxpayer paid vacation among how many now?

    It’s been years since I had a vacation and this ARSE CLOWN’S wife gets a whole Boeing 757, well isn’t that just special!!!

    “Michelle Obama’s ‘goodwill tour’ of Africa cost U.S. taxpayers AT LEAST $425,000…”

    Well You’ve Got To Figure In The Number Of DEPOPULATED AFRICANS INTO THE EQUATION WHO ARE DUPED BY MICHELLE’S PERSONALITY TO TAKE MERCURY-LACED VACCINATIONS, MONKEY BOY…

    FIGURE AN EXTRA 2-MILLION ‘USELESS EATERS’ WILL BE CULLED DUE TO THE FIRST LADY’S (cough) TRIP, AND THEN DIVIDE THAT BY $425,000, AND IT LOOKS LIKE IT COST LESS THAN 25-CENTS PER PERSON TO ACCOMPLISH THE ‘NEW WORLD ORDER’ PUPPET-WHORE AGENDA!!

    What? $425,000 for Africa and $15 billion a year to Israel in cash money, 0% loans, all you can carry munitions, tax free export to the US, tax free Israeli ventures in the US….etc.

  2. If they need to fly to africa let them use military flights!

    Yeah dawg…she be stikkin’ it to the system all up in der wid dat nigrah sheeeeeeeeeeeet.

  5. The Obama’s are a disgrace to this country. They have been taking vacation after vacation since he was ELECTED. They are NOT the King and Queen of this country. These exotic vacations have cost the taxpayers hundreds of million dollars that we don’t have. They just charge it to the White house credit card and we pay. This shit must stop immediately! No more Obama family vacations. She needs to keep her ass in Washington. I am sick and tired of seeing them live like royalty when this country is so screwed up financially. They tell us to work harder, pay more, shut up and “eat our peas”. Well it is also time to tell them they are cut off. No more spending tax money on their family vacations. and it is also time to cut back on the White house expense account. They don’t need fancy dinners and expensive parties every night in the White house.

    Why does the President and his family get a blank expense check where ever they go? No wonder the administration is against any kind of budget. If Mrs. Obama can spend that kind of money on one trip there must not be a limit. As if the Obama’s can’t afford to pay for their own trip. The Obama’s are the King and Queen of Hypocrisy. That is nearly a half of a million $’s added to the deficit for a vacation for the wife of the president? That is almost double the president’s yearly salary. Wow what a perk. Must be Billions in perks by the time 4 years rolls around. I guess no budget makes it all legal.

    You’re right, not the king and queen. It’s more like Emperor and Empress.

    Daz what Iz b sayin! What makes all this shit bad is that there are black people who have the sense to see this for what it is. If they side with the right, they are beaten by their kind. If they side with the left, they know they’ll lose. Here at PP is a member calling himself “Mississippiblackman”. He makes good sense to me. He is trapped, but, he knows what to do. He has my faith.

    For those who are in the same situation as he is, you have my prayers. Its a tough spot to be in. There are black people, then there are all the rest. There are white people and then there are the low life scum sucking communist bastards which happen to be white…just like me. Example? Mikhail Lyubansky AKA “between_the_lines”. Scum sucking commie rat bastard.

    Thats where the similarities end. I might be an asshole, I just happen to be ya’lls kind of asshole.

    Bravo2…….out
