| PALM CITY, FL — So how much would it cost to pop into Palm City from Washington DC for a weekend of golf at the posh Floridian, such as the three-day getaway President Barack Obama has on tap this weekend? Try around $8,000, including costs for airfare, a chartered helicopter, Floridian guest quarters, golf fees, meals and caddie tips. And that´s if you´re a guest of the ritzy waterfront golf community, founded in 1996 by H. Wayne Huizenga and purchased in 2010 by Houston Astros owner Jim Crane, who is hosting Obama´s visit. If you´re a Floridian member,

Base cost... Air Force one sits ready on tarmack, SS detail, heightened traffic, business squeezed... The $1,000 dollar golf lesson.
$8,000 seems low to begin with....

More outright lies by the media to pre-empt any later claims that the president is wasting our money while we suffer. No mention of his $1000 an hour lessons, costs of security, entertainment and guests of state, etc??? This $8,000 is just what Crane is paying for the basics...

Thing is, nothing is too good for our King. The Obama´s won the lottery big time when he got "elected" King. They are, as any good third-world dictator would do, milking it for all the country is worth, and sticking it to the white Man in the process. So stop complaining. They have just got started. If all goes as planned, he will rule for the remainder of his life time. Long live the King!

While he´s spending OUR money on his boys trip, Moochie and girls are also spending OUR money on their "annual" Aspen ski trip. It sure didn´t take those grifters long to learn how to live the good life. I guess Obama just likes to check out those terrible "millionaires and billionaires" first-hand.

Last year it cost 1.4 billion to keep the Grifter family in the style to which they have become accustomed. This year it will probably end up being 2-3 billion. Imagine the price tag when his reign is over, if it ever ends that is.

The owner of this course should pick up the entire tab for all the free publicity he´s getting from it.It´s nice to see he can run a golf resort better than his baseball team.
When you talk about a trip like this,the price is a mere formality. It´s chump change to the people who can afford it.

Why is Obama taking vacations even newsworthy anymore? "Newsworthy" is when he´s actually doing work. Which he´s never done. So him working should be WAY more newsworthy than him taking taxpayer funded vacations.

How much would it cost to send him on the dream vacation back to Kenya, the hut of his dreams and he can dig the village well, since there is no running water? I say a trip like that, one way, of course, would be worth any amount. And, don´t forget to take the Mooch and the kiddos. Her slogan, "let´s move" is foremost in her mind and I say "let´s help".

We were told that back when , liberals hated GW . But was it pure or just politics / party disagreement ?. They disliked his war policies . But does this boob we have now REALLY understand how much he is hated ? . I mean a visceral , upchucking -if- hear- his -name hatred . A loathing that one thot they´d never have ? . Because if he wasn´t so stupid and narcissic , he´d walk in fear . The libs talked openly about killing GW , but I´m a mind that was hype . This president has earned it , and every time he takes yet another joy ride while a Father can´t provide for his kids , well , the King better have a food tester .

The starting bid for the aircraft is $50,000. Still bearing the insignia of the presidential fleet, the plane is now sitting at the Phoenix/Mesa Gateway Airport as it awaits its future.

During a “Google Hangout,” MSNBC host Andrea Mitchell grilled Secretary of State John Kerry on Friday about a week of revelations regarding how the United States responded to the attack on an American consulate in Benghazi. Mitchell asked about the week’s events, beginning with the testimony by three career diplomats stationed in Libya and concluding with Friday’s publication of the State Department talking points amended to remove references to Islamic terrorism. “I really haven’t learned anything new,” Kerry said. “Can you reassure the American people today that was not a politically motivated cover-up [regarding Benghazi]?” Mitchell asked.

Conservative groups have rejected an Internal Revenue Service apology for unjustifiably scrutinizing tax-exempt conservative groups during the 2012 election cycle. The IRS apology has seemingly validated conservatives´ fears of politically motivated regulation. Lois Lerner, the director the IRS unit that oversees tax-exempt organizations, said that organizations had been given additional scrutiny if their applications included the words "Tea Party" or "patriot." The practice originated with "low-level" employees in Cincinnati, according to an Associated Press report. In a press conference on Friday, Lerner called the actions of these employees "absolutely inappropriate."

As a presidential speech writer for the first Bush White House, I am always very interested in what presidents say in their formal speeches. They know, of course, that their remarks will be widely covered by the press, studied by analysts, and influential in contemporary political debates. For that reason, presidents rarely speak off-the-cuff, and their every word is carefully chosen for exactly the message the White House wants to convey to the public. Their graduation speeches, like all presidential addresses, go through many drafts and are reviewed by high-level administration officials

Friday, White House press secretary Jay Carney blamed Mitt Romney and Republicans for “politicizing” the Benghazi terrorist attacks. Harkening back to a Mitt Romney press conference on September 12, 2012, which addressed the Benghazi attacks only in passing while focusing instead on the assault on the American embassy in Cairo, Egypt, Carney suggested that Romney had tried to target the innocent Obama administration for telling the truth about Benghazi. “Republicans, again, in this ongoing effort that began in the hours after the attack when Mitt Romney put out a press release to try to take political

Northwestern University continued to stumble over diversity issues this week as Mexican students voiced disagreement with a campuswide letter that advised students not to celebrate Cinco de Mayo by engaging in racially-offensive activities, such as eating tacos and drinking tequila. The letter was sent to students via e-mail, and published in The Daily Northwestern last week. Leaders of Alianza, a Latino student group, and the Associated Student Government called on students to remember that Cinco de Mayo commemorates Mexico’s victory over France in the Battle of Puebla. It is not a day to throw a sombrero-themed party, they said.

When it became clear last fall that the CIA’s now discredited Benghazi talking points were flawed, the White House said repeatedly the document were put together almost entirely by the intelligence community, but White House documents reviewed by Congress suggest a different story. ABC News has obtained 12 different versions of the talking points that show they were extensive edited as they evolved from the drafts first written entirely by the CIA to the final version distributed to Congress and to U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Susan Rice before she appeared on five talk shows the Sunday after that attack.

The most notable takeaway from Jay Carney’s incomprehensible Friday appearance had little to do with his Klingon grammar. Carney does not represent the historical value of the event – you should be wise to forget his performance, and instead take note that he was flanked by the entire room, without exception. Do not underestimate the significance: the Obama administration has not faced such an onslaught of truth-seeking since he took office in 2008, and further, no Democratic administration has been charged from all sides like this in recent memory. That press conference was unthinkable just days ago

The Clinton political machine is in full campaign mode already, preparing for 2016 and hoping voters forget by then that she had a key role in the Obama administration’s handling of the terror attack. But that’s becoming more difficult as the GOP appears to be laying the groundwork for tying Clinton to Benghazi and making sure it stays front and center in the next campaign.Some of the testimony from State Department whistleblowers

"Every year for the past few years, on Mother´s Day, I´ve gone--I´ve taken a delegation--into Afghanistan or Iraq, we´re alternating now, now Afghanistan--for Mother´s Day to say thank you to our moms and, by the way, our grandmothers, who are serving there. Some young grandmothers. But, nonetheless, grandmothers. To also thank all of our troops for what they do to protect America´s families. I won´t be going this particular weekend because we don´t have--you know, under sequestration, we don´t have codels."

John McCain is going to release a bill that would dismantle cable as it´s currently constructed, Brenden Sasso at The Hill reports. The legislation would force cable companies and satellite TV providers to give consumers an option to pick and choose which channels they get. This is called "à la carte programming," and it´s long been a dream of consumers who only want a handful of channels. McCain tried to introduce similar legislation in 2006 and it went nowhere.

The families of Navy SEALs killed in an August 2011 shoot-down of a helicopter in Afghanistan spoke at a press conference Thursday morning, citing a number of grievances, including an allegation that the Pentagon invited a Muslim cleric who “disparaged in Arabic the memory of these servicemen.” In addition to blasting the Obama administration for the mission and for an official investigation they deemed a cover-up, the families complained that “military brass, while prohibiting any mention of a Judeo-Christian God, invited a Muslim cleric to the funeral for the fallen

WASHINGTON — The Internal Revenue Service is apologizing for inappropriately flagging conservative political groups for additional reviews during the 2012 election to see if they were violating their tax-exempt status. Lois Lerner, who heads the IRS unit that oversees tax-exempt groups, said organizations that included the words "tea party" or "patriot" in their applications for tax-exempt status were singled out for additional reviews. Lerner said the practice, initiated by low-level workers in Cincinnati, was wrong and she apologized while speaking at a conference in Washington. Many conservative groups complained during the election

It´s been 11 days and counting since the Jets cut ties with Tim Tebow and 13 months since they traded for him. Much of the conversation in the past week and a half has been about which teams -- if any -- would be interested in the former Heisman Trophy winner. The usual suspects include Tebow´s hometown Jacksonville Jaguars, but new general manager David Caldwell has said in no uncertain terms that Tebow isn´t an option (laudatory commercials from local lawyers notwithstanding). The other, less conventional landing spot: New England. Coach Bill Belichick sees value where other talent evaluators don´t

Congressman Frank Wolf of Virginia has written House Speaker John Boehner, requesting the creation of a bipartisan Select Committee to investigate the Benghazi terror debacle. It is an excellent idea. A Select Committee is the only means available now for the U.S. political system to extricate itself from the labyrinth called Benghazi. There have been two fulcrum events in the accounting of what happened in Benghazi. The first was U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice´s September 16 declarations on TV that Benghazi was part of the Islamic world´s violent, spontaneous reaction to the incendiary California YouTube video.
