NATIONAL HARBOR, MD Sarah Chaulk says she remains extremely bitter about how much taxpayer money was spent on President Barack Obamas travel and family vacations during his time in office.
When Obama put his dog on Air Force One and then told us to give more to help poor people, it was a slap in the face to the entire country, Chaulk, 60, a graphic designer from Columbus, Ohio, said on Wednesday at CPAC, the marquee annual conference for conservative activists.
Her friend Elaine Kent, 58, chimed in: And when Michelle Obama and her friends went to Spain and spent millions of dollars on a vacation? They did so much nickel-and-diming of taxpayers."
They are less concerned which is to say, not concerned at all with recent reports that suggest President Trump cost taxpayers nearly as much in his first month in office as Obama did in a year. Their sentiments were widely shared here at the Conservative Political Action Conference, where attendees gave a wide array of explanations for why they were outraged by Obamas travel spending, but not Trumps.
