The Daily Caller proved conclusively this weekend that Barack and Michelle Obama are the most pampered, spoiled, wasteful Imperial President and First Lady ever in the history of America, mostly by throwing out a whole lot of big numbers and suggesting that they're shocking. The headline, "The Obamas Have Spent Over $44,351,777.12 In Taxpayer Cash On Travel" gets things started, using an absolutely infallible number from the highly reliable wingnut organization Judicial Watch, whose total is cited but not linked to, but that's OK, you don't need the details.

Seriously, Reagan made 14 overseas trips in eight years? The President of the Motherfucking United States? Fewer than two trips per year?
