“At a cost of ‘between $60 million to $100 million,’ ‘President Obama goes to sub-Saharan Africa this month,’ reports the usually adoring Washington Post. A good part of the comitatus—’the sprawling apparatus that encompasses … the emperor’s household and its personnel’—is going along for the ride. Military cargo planes will airlift in 56 support vehicles, including 14 limousines and three trucks loaded with sheets of bulletproof glass to cover the windows of the hotels where the first family will stay. Fighter jets will fly in shifts, giving 24-hour coverage over the president’s airspace, so they can intervene quickly if an errant plane gets too close.”
