This jackass got the nerve to even ask this after he had almost destroyed this country. We should fight so that would never ever happen. So he was the first black president who hates this country and wants to fundamental change this country and the US Constitution, so screw him.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When a president dies, the country pays for their burial. In the case of a president like JFK, who was a war hero and assassinated in the middle of a term, something extravagant is in order His burial at Arlington with the memorial paid for by the people cost almost $4 million in today’s money, adjusted for inflation. The Kennedy family paid for the casket, vault and the eternal flame.

Ronald Reagan, one of the most influential men in history, is buried in California at his Presidential Library, paid for by donations from the people and the Reagan family. In fact, other than Kennedy, which we can all agree was warranted, no president has ever cost the taxpayers more than $100K in today’s money to bury.

The clause in the Presidential Contract enacted by congress in 1819 states that the president shall receive the burial service deemed fit for his stature and that the cost of the funeral and burial plot will be paid for by the people of a grateful nation. While every president who has died in modern history, except Reagan, took advantage of that perk of the presidency, none have gone so far that anyone would ever have noticed. Until now that is.

Barack Obama has just submitted his plans for burial in a plot that will house his entire family, citing the Kennedys, the Tafts and the Roosevelts as precedent, inside a monument he had designed to celebrate the nation’s first black president. (Don’t forget he is half white) The monument, will cost the taxpayers roughly $120 million and will be listed as a national historical place with 24 hour protection from the 3rd US Infantry Regiment, just like the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.

The memorial would be built immediately upon approval and occupy the Northeast quadrant of the lawn near the Washington Monument with a view of the White House:

The monument itself would include quotes from his years as president along with a giant bronze statue and burial crypts for him and his family under a large arch:

You heard that right. Obama will be guarded around the clock in a monument among those of our founding fathers and greatest heroes, paid for by the taxpayer. It’s not too late to call your congressman and object.

I am confused about the comment that Obama almost destroyed this country.

He took office
10% unemployment
Banks going Backrupt
Stock market dropped by 145%
5 million people lost there homes
2 Phony Wars based on WMDs
Banks failing
Gained healthcare for 28 million people

So what did he destroy

On 23 April 2017 the web site Last Line of Defense claimed President Barack Obama’s burial plans were a lavish waste of taxpayer funds:

When a president dies, the country pays for their burial. In the case of a president like JFK, who was a war hero and assassinated in the middle of a term, something extravagant is in order. His burial at Arlington with the memorial paid for by the people cost almost $4 million in today’s money, adjusted for inflation. The Kennedy family paid for the casket, vault and the eternal flame.

Barack Obama has just submitted his plans for burial in a plot that will house his entire family, citing the Kennedys, the Tafts and the Roosevelts as precedent, inside a monument he had designed to celebrate the nation’s first black president. The monument, which will occupy space on the National Mall along with monuments to Washington, Lincoln, Jefferson and hundreds of thousands of fallen heroes, will cost the taxpayers roughly $120 million and will be listed as a national historical place with 24 hour protection from the 3rd US Infantry Regiment, just like the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.

The claim and iterations of it predictably drew outrage on social media:

Although the story subsequently spread to other sites, Last Line of Defense is a fake news site whose disclaimer states:

Then why don't you pay his family's elaborate burial and hire guards to make sure no one tries to steal his precious remains. He came very close to destroying everything we hold dear. And is still trying. He may yet succeed.

SinnieK

Sorry, what you had believed were fake news and fake reports.

Airforceone

You keep saying he came close to destroying everything we hold dear. What would that be please explain. You must have something in mind please tell me.

Airforceone

I am not going to pay for Obama's memorial. This is added insult to injury. After he destroyed this great country of ours, and enriched himself and family, he still wants to suck every part of our being. The prior presidents spent their burial and memorial using their own money or donations from friends, and the people who love them.

Obama's burial must be in Chicago, or his body sent back to Kenya where his family lives. It was reported that he was born there. It is just fitting and proper that his dead body rots where he was born. Or in Hawaii? I am not sure of that.
