I'm not talking about the salary costs.
I'm talking about the cost to fly up there, the hotel rooms, the food, the traveling, the flight back....and then Obama flying up there with his own detail.
Salary is a fixed cost, like you said.....but that is not the only thing costing money on these missions.
