Sir Richard Branson sending his private jet to bring the Obamas to his private island in the British Virgin Islands. They're enjoying mingling with the elite rich. Guess they're in no hurry to return to their sjw life in Chicago.

The trip to billionaire Branson’s Necker Island resort is the latest leg of the couple’s holiday after they spent the past few days in Palm Springs, California. According to DailyMail.com, a car from the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department vehicle blocked traffic in both directions on the highway so the couple could travel with relative ease to Palm Springs International airport.

They were taken to a private terminal where the entrepreneurs’ plane was waiting.

So what do you mean by "still"?

They've always paid for all their own vacations with their own money despite what the lies of the right-wing shitbag propaganda pukers claim.

You're an idiot, quacko. Obviously they don't pay for security or (possibly) transportation, but their hotel bills and everything else they do or buy or eat, etc, etc, comes out of their own pockets.

Are you sure about that? I thought if security said they had to stay at an expensive place, it is covered. I don't about food.

Also, who cares if Branson is paying, they are private citizens now and I say, take it and have a great time!
 
Presidents pay for their own and their families’ lodging, food and incidentals while on vacation, which may be why they generally prefer to stay at properties they own, as guests of wealthy friends or at the official presidential retreat at Camp David.

Some 200 people accompany a president on vacation — including White House aides, Secret Service agents, military advisers, and experts in communications and transportation — to ensure that, while on vacation, the president can do nearly everything he could accomplish in Washington.

The biggest additional expense is the use of Air Force One and the support aircraft needed to haul all the equipment and ground transportation the president needs. The Congressional Research Service estimated that the cost of operating Air Force One is nearly $180,000 per hour. Ultimately, a presidential vacation can cost taxpayers an additional $1 million or considerably more than if the president had just stayed put in the White House.

Should we tell Stench about how the Obama family will get free personal secret service protection for the rest of their lives, and Stench pays for that in taxes?
 
No problem with this vacation as far as tax payers are concerned. I was just noting the irony of his anti-socialist private life versus the spread-the-wealth-around socialism he preaches to everybody else.

That is because he is no longer just a community organizer. And, quite frankly, he will use his status as an ex-president of the USA to further his agenda, most presidents do. And you have to deal with wealthy people to get, most agendas passed.

I thought at some point a couple months ago, he mentioned he was getting back into sjw stuff...might be mistaken.

And even though every other President has incurred the same expenses, it only bothers you when the Obama's do it.

This why no one takes you seriously. It is always racism with you, can't be Obama's policies, must be his skin color, thus proving you're the true racist.

Go crawl back under your troll bridge.
