You won’t see this article reported anywhere in the US lamestream mainstream media, so thought the good, decent and hardworking people of America needed to see how their President is spending an unseemly amount of your money while attending the G20 summit this week.
From an editorial written by Dale McFeatters of Scripps Howard News Service –
“The heads of government in London for the G-20 summit are discussing serious and weighty issues, which in time will be duly reported on, but right now the British press is entranced by the sheer size of President Obama’s traveling entourage. And no wonder.Obama arrived with 500 staff in tow, including 200 Secret Service agents, a team of six doctors, the White House chef and kitchen staff with the president’s own food and water.”
And, according to the Evening Standard, he also came with “35 vehicles in all, four speech writers and 12 teleprompters.” For sure, our president is not going to be at a loss for words.
The press duly reported on Air Force One and all its bells and whistles but also on the presence of the presidential helicopter, Marine One, and a fleet of identical decoys to ferry him from Stansted airport to central London.
Among all those vehicles is the presidential limousine, which one local paper mistakenly called Cadillac One, but is universally referred to as the Beast. The limo, reinforced with ceramic and titanium armor, carries tear gas cannon, night vision devices, its own oxygen and is resistant to chemical and radiation attack. It is, marveled one reporter, a sort of mobile panic room. The Guardian called it “the ultimate in heavily armored transport.”
The president is entitled to all the security, communications and support he feels necessary to do his job but surely, when we’re trying to project a more restrained, humble image to the world, the president’s huge retinue could be scaled back to something less than the triumphal march from “Aida.”

What in the hell does any man, let alone the President need 500 staffers, a team of six doctors, 200 Secret Service agents, 35 vehicles, four speechwriters, 12 teleprompters, Presidential helicopter, Marine One, decoy vehicles, a chef, the entire kitchen staff and the Beast to attend a meeting with his New World Order pals?
What are the American people who are unemployed or under employed or barely scraping by to think when they learn their President lavished himself with such a massive entourage and with their money?
This man is a complete embarrassment! He has to go!
