What could be one of the most expensive presidential vacations in history is raising some eyebrows. President Obama and his family are planning an 8-day trip to Africa and the estimated cost for taxpayers is $100 million.To compare, former President Clinton's trip to Africa in 1998 cost about $43 million -- less than half the cost of President Obama's trip. Do you think this is ridiculous when unemployment and the number of Americans living below the poverty line have increased? Yes
