Obama's 2013 Air Force One Bill At $24 Million… $6.5 Million For Africa Alone

Of course we're the ones who get stuck with the bill.

President Obama, already the most traveled chief executive in the modern era after internationalist former President George H.W. Bush, is expected to run up an Air Force One tab of at least $24 million this year alone, according to the National Taxpayers Union Foundation.
Already Obama, just back from a trip with his family and a huge entourage of staff to several African nations, has run up a $15.2 million bill just for Air Force One in the first six months of 2013. Security and hotel costs can dwarf the jet's cost. Some estimates of the president's Africa trip alone top $100 million.
NTUF's Douglas Kellogg told Secrets that Obama's Africa Air Force One bill to taxpayers was $6,654,345. [...]
"Estimating the potential costs of additional trips the president already has planned for later this year is imprecise, however, using the median cruise speed of Air Force One applied to distances for trips to Moscow, Indonesia, and Brunei, brings the total for President Obama's 2013 Air Force One costs to over $24 million," said NTUF.
