for a vacation instead of himself personally. I would like to see the accounting on it. Also accounting how much of his campaign actually was self funded (especially when considering the amount of services his own companies provided that are paid for by the campaign).

Is there different levels of reimbursement for personal expenses related to the campaign and those related to personal travel? When Obama traveled promoting his legislation (ACA) were those expenses picked up by the WH fully?
