Indeed, it is "sweet of office," "lobbying," etc. on my tax dollars when it comes to the oyinbo/muzungu politRician. Let an Afrikan does it, then it is the "C" word---Corruption. How many of our Afrikan folks even in America have been harassed and kicked out of office for similar spending this year alone?

But as we say in Washington, Afrikans are corrupt; Americans lobby!One Night Paris Hotel Tab for Biden, over a Half Million Dollars

If you think Paris is expensive, the City of Light costs a lot more when you?'re traveling with the vice president.Recent documents posted to a government website give a rare glimpse of Vice President Joe Biden?'s overseas travel expenses.
Official business took him last month to Europe, a trip that included a bill of $585,000 for his one-night stay in Paris.
Also on the receipt was $321,665 for a limousine company and $459,338.65 for a hotel stay in London.
And while Biden was only in each town for one night, the London hotel bill, for example, included 136 rooms for multiple nights for his advance team, according to the documents posted on the website for Federal Business Opportunities and unearthed by the conservative magazine, The Weekly Standard.
