Your link did not specify who paid for the extras at the party. Additional security, party favors, entertainment etc.
Extra security? Are you being serious?

Do you think the Secret Service hires extra security guards from Securitas or something? Where is this supposed extra security cost supposed to come from?

What is money? Printed money is the same as a check. It is based on having the gold or assets to back the currency. We don't have the gold to back our currency. Printing more money is the same as writing checks against an account that has insufficient funds to cover the check. We are borrowing money from our enemies to pay our bills. Borrowing money to pay our bills because we don't have the gold or assets to pay our own bills. That is broke.
How can anyone justify allowing politicians the privilege of living high on the hog off the tax payers money? What makes any politician so special?

How many secret service agents are on call on an average day? How many were required to cover the party? What additional measures were required? Yes additional men being paid overtime is money. Would you find it acceptable for the town mayor to use off duty police officers for security guards and bouncers at private function? Would it be acceptable for the town to foot the bill for their payroll at said function? I wouldn't.

Hmmm sort of like comparing George Bush Seniors wife to George Washington? I guess it is only wrong when 1 side does it.

Secret Service agents are salaried. They are not paid on an hourly basis.

Seriously?

You think that comparing Barbara Bush to George Washington is "sort of like" calling Michelle Obama an ape?

Seriously?

I mean one would hope that anyone getting close the the first family would be checked. 500+ guests? That is a lot of people to know intimately.
What big party doesn't have party favors? Do you know 500 people so well that they would pose no risk whatever? I don't and I work in a factory of 3000 employees. I lived on a ship 24/7 of 5000+ personnel. I still never knew 500 people intimately that I could say that none were a possible threat.
