President Barack Obama will fly over 9 hours tomorrow, round-trip from Washington, D.C. to Las Vegas, Nevada, just to deliver a speech on immigration, according to the president's White House schedule. With Air Force One estimated to cost $182,000 per hour in flight, Obama's trip--that is, only his travel to and from Vegas--will cost taxpayers over $1.6 million.

 

Obama has no other public events scheduled in Las Vegas but his immigration speech.

 

"In the morning, the President will depart the White House en route Las Vegas, Nevada. The departure from the South Lawn and the arrival at McCarran International Airport are open press," the president's schedule reads.

 

"While in Las Vegas, the President will deliver remarks on the need to fix the broken immigration system so that it is fairer for and helps grow the middle class by ensuring everyone plays by the same rules. The President's remarks at Del Sol High School are open to pre-credentialed media.

 

"In the evening, the President will depart Las Vegas, Nevada en route Washington, DC. The departure from McCarran International Airport and the arrival on the South Lawn are open press."

Every president since George Washington has done this.

If he had checked fare compare, he could have bought a round trip ticket on U.S. Airways for $276.00, with a Saturday night stay over. By the way, has his secret service agents been in Vegas for the past couple of days, checking out hookers, I mean possible threats to the President?

Really?

 

"Prior to World War II, overseas and cross-country presidential travel was rare. Lack of wireless telecommunication and quick transportation made long-distance travel impractical, as it took much time and isolated the president from events in Washington, D.C. Railroads were a safer and more reliable option if the President needed to travel to distant states."

It's all there.

 

 

"George Washington maintained detailed private and plantation accounts throughout his life. During his years of public service he added other layers of public accounts, cash disbursements, and receipts. Although most of his cash memorandum records have not survived, enough of his accounts remain to offer several windows and avenues of access into his complex financial world."
