Michelle Obama To Enter Campaign Fray

In addition, none of the published reports include the cost of the cargo planes that tag along and which carry ground transportation and other equipment for security needed during these trips.



Are Michelle's friends paying for the ground transportation that's been cargoed to Spain by the Secret Service for Mrs. Obama and her daughter? Or are they taking public transportation and will meet up with her and Sasha at the public beach and other sightseeing destinations?



The cargo planes that accompany Air Force One and Two are pricey. When Barack Obama flew back to Illinois for one night and flew back to Washington DC for one night and back again to Illinois (2 round trips in one long weekend), Air Force One cost $214,768.00 and the cargo plane that flew with him cost another $32,140. A total of $246,908 for two round trips to Illinois over a five day period.



The costs published are for the planes alone. They don't include the costs of the personnel required to fly and operate the aircraft, or inflight services, such as cooks, stewards, maintenance and repair personnel.
