VIDEO: Obamas Reaction To Being Kicked Out Of The Golf Course Over Labor Day weekend, the President was in New York for a series of fundraisers on Friday, and then he flew back to D.C. on Air Force One. That wasnt the end of his trip. He then flew straight back to New York to attend the wedding of Alex Wagner to White House chef Sam Kass. This raised questions among American and reporters, who wondered why the President didnt just spend the night in New York. Instead, he chose to spend an insane amount of tax-payer dollars on blatantly excessive travel. According to White House press secretary Josh Earnest, the president decided hed rather make that late evening flight back to the White House where he could sleep in his own bed, do a little work tomorrow, spend some time with his family, then travel back to New York tomorrow evening. This is not the first time that Obama has been less than frugal with taxpayer dollars. He has a love for golf, luxury, and lavish vacations. Despite massive criticism, it appears that he has no intentions to cut back.
