2008?

This information was obtained by Judicial Watch March,
2012 after Judicial Watch sued the Air Force under the Freedom of Information
Act. Michelle Obama listed daughters as 'Senior Staffers' to justify her taking
them with her on her expensive African vacation and safari. Also
accompanying Mrs. Obama were her mother, niece, and nephew.
October 5,
2011, Judicial Watch said the U.S. Air Force provided a C-32 ( a Boeing 757), to
fly the First Lady and her entourage to and from Africa, at a cost of $424,142. Another $928.44 was listed
as ' bulk food' costs of providing 192 on board meals for the 21 people who made
the trip. There is no expense reported for the Secret Service protection
provided.
The Obama daughters were listed on the manifest
as senior staff. 'This trip was as much an opportunity for the Obama family to
go on a safari as it was a trip to conduct government business, said Judicial
Watch President Tom Fitton. 'This junket wasted tax dollars and the resources of
our overextended military.
The First Lady justified an expensive trip to Africa to take a vacation and safari with her daughters by
saying it's official business' and listing her children as staffers.
