	Does Obama Care About The Border? This week Barack Obama will be traveling to Texas, but he can't be bothered to visit the border and seeing the crisis he's helped to create with his very eyes.

Obama: Most Expensive President In History
The Obama family is turning out to be the most expensive in presidential history.

Barack Obama has become the most well-traveled president in American history, taking 31 trips and spending 119 days overseas since becoming president.

Then we have the family vacations.

According to the Daily Caller:

"In 2010, Obama flew aboard Air Force One 172 times, nearly every other day. Just the cost of flying aboard Air Force One to Obama's hometown of Chicago reportedly hovers around $180,000 per hour.

In 2013 alone, Obama incurred over $7 million in flight expenses for his family vacations to Hawaii and Martha's Vineyard, as well as a trip to California to appear on the Jay Leno show."

In total, the Obamas have spent over $44 million in taxpayer money on travel since 2009.
