Time to change their diapers.

I don't care for Obama, but these outrages are just stupid and petty

This guy has some very serious mental issues. My neighbor just got furloughed for 4 days a month and this guy cruises on vacation? Nobody can justify this so don't even try.
So if one person loses their job (or gets furloughed) in America that means that the Obamas have to put a kiddie pool out on the White House lawn to make that person feel better about their loser life?

What's nice is, that aircraft carrier and secret service agents cost nothing with the president is stationary.

OK. I won't say that this is fairly normal. So I guess pretty much every recent president has had mental issues.

I mean, from your own link (or the original article quoted in your link): Former presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush also made trips to multiple African nations involving similarly laborious preparations. Bush went in 2003 and 2008, bringing his wife on both occasions. Bush’s two daughters went along on the first trip, which included a safari at a game preserve on the Botswana-South Africa border.

By "similarly laborious preparations", I read "cost about the same".

The cost estimates are based upon past presidential trips to the area by past presidents including Bush who took his two grown daughters with him at tax payers expense.

That didn't take long... You people need to stop with Bush and start realizing you put the biggest mistake for a President in the history of this country in the whitehouse..

Although, he is going home for a vacation. Maybe he will stay there..
