“HARDLY FITTING FOR A MONARCH”

(Dec. 3, 2015) — As Reported by Dale McFeatters of Reuters News service and elaborated upon by Frank McGuire on August 5, 2010 in “Renew America”:
The real triumphal coronation parade for the cockalorum Barry Soetoro aka Barack Hussein Obama began on March 31, 2009. His coronation took place on the preceding January 20 with four peasant-class ‘inaugural’ balls, hardly fitting for a monarch. He was afforded, so he apparently believed, the keys to the United States Treasury.
His real Coronation ball began when his entourage, consisting of Air Force One and all it’s [sic] bells and whistles but also the presence of the President’s helicopter, Marine One, a fleet of identical decoys to carry him from the Stansted airport to Central London.
Such a flamboyant, showoff, arrogant display is unworthy of even an arrogant, narcissistic little punk like Barry Soetoro. That he may need to occasionally travel abroad is even questionable given he has a Secretary of State who is equally as incompetent, narcissistic and flamboyant as Soetoro.
BUT, just how much travel is enough, too much, or allowable considering his $50,000 “Allowance?
These “So-called” official trips have always been ‘showy; not low-key like those of President Truman aboard a trans-ocean ship. In this writer’s humble opinion after having traveled, as have several MILLION American service personnel on a forty and eight train trip across North Africa, on a crowded troop train across India and troop ships and on 2 ½ on trucks just to get to work, a shooting fight against an armed enemy military force. If a president conducts him or HERself as they are expected to do, they would not need a huge protective cordon, an armored limousine, and round-the-clock protection from the Secret Service. A relatively small local police force should be enough. EVERY life matters to differing degrees; Soetoro’s is of considerably less importance than that of my daughter, wife or grandchildren OR my neighbor.
“As of November 2015, Obama has made 43 international trips to 52 different countries (in addition to visiting Vatican City and the West Bank) since his presidency began.”
Number of visits/Country
1 visit Brazil, Cambodia, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Egypt, El Salvador, Estonia, Ethiopia, Ghana, Iraq, Ireland, Israel, Jamaica, Jordan, Kenya, Netherlands, Norway, Panama, Portugal, Senegal, Singapore, Sweden, Tanzania, Thailand, Trinidad and Tobago, West Bank

“The plane that is used to carry the president, which is typically a Boeing 747, costs the Air Force $179,750 per hour to operate, according to a new Congressional Research Service report. Military planes are used for security and because of special equipment on board.”
When will this dilatory 114th Congress call a halt to the extravagance by this faux president and his equally extravagant family which made a Sunday, June 7, 2009 “Shopping Trip” to Paris on the public’s blank check?
Here are a few more just to show the waste:
