(Washington Examiner) - Party!
The Golfer In Chief is in Florida this weekend for his 222nd round as president.
President Obama left Andrews about 9:30 a.m. Saturday for the two hour flight from Joint Base Andrews to St. Lucie County International Airport and will stay in Palm City, Fla. Staying just one night, he is expected to leave Sunday afternoon.
— According to Air Force documents obtained by the watchdog group Judicial Watch, it costs $210,877 an hour to fly Air Force One, putting the round trip price tag at $843,508.
— A recent Secrets report calculated the first family’s holidays at 38, making this the 39th.
— That same report said Obama had played 220 rounds of golf as president. Since then, he played at Andrews on March 21, making this his 222nd.
— Minutes after Obama’s entourage boarded Air Force One, the beer started to flow. According to a press pool report: “You can tell this is a non work trip because someone forward of the press cabin ordered 3 beers at 9:26 a.m.”
