Well the good news for Barack is that it will all be over before he knows it.

On a serious note here, while being president will gratify the ego, it’s also the toughest job in the world. How much down time and time with the family will he have then? What about the stresses of living in a bubble, even a luxury bubble of a White House? What about his children not having a normal life in the White House? Holy toledo, it’s hard to believe he said all this stuff.

If he really believed half of what he said, he wouldn’t have run for pres. in the first place. He would agree with those who ask how Sarah Palin can be vice-president with her baby.

“I haven’t been putting up with 19 months of airplanes and hotel food”

mcCain’s plane was shot down and spent 5 years at the Hanoi Hilton.

We need to have our servicemen in Iraq and Afghanistan send him some sympathy cards.

Sorry, didn’t know this was a dupe. But I think the focus should be on the arrogant “planes and hotels” comment rather than the “coming in second” comment,...

Arugula loses it’s crispiness at altitude, obviously Obama has made a bigger sacrifice for his country than John McCain.

19 months?

No wonder we're tired of this Zero.

I dont think Obummer gets this. Why do you suppose all the presidents hair turn white while in office, it sucks the life out of you.

[ChessExpert]

19 months. Isn’t that about the amount of time he’s been a Senator?

[Candor7]

Obama should try serving a few weeks in Afghanistan. I wonder how he would like the MREs and the bugs in his desert?

What a silver-spoon-in-the-mouth prig he is.

Heaven help us if he ever attains office.

Or better yet, why not just quit the race and go home to Momma.

[mplsconservative]

So he thinks 19 months of riding a private plane and staying in the best hotels is suffering? What a little elitist snob.

Isn't that the truth! I'll trade him for a week or two.

Would SOMEONE PLEASE just put the paper Burger King CROWN on him already and shut “the chosen one” .. he of the Styrofoam Acropolis .. up??!!

This guy has never lost anything...he has no humility. You cannot be the leader of the free world with no humility. There was a line in Palin's speech last week that haunts me...in referring to McCain:

"To the most powerful office on earth, he would bring the compassion that comes from having once been powerless … the wisdom that comes even to the captives, by the grace of God … the special confidence of those who have seen evil, and seen how evil is overcome."

“Should he really be neglecting his family like that to run for political office?”

Ah, a question you will only hear asked of vice presidential candidates who happen to have 2 X chromosomes.

Obama, you little piece of shit, I’d like to squash you like a bug. The nerve, when brave soldiers fight and die in the dirt every single day so you can fly around on airplanes and scratch your ass. I spit in your face.

What they of course fail to mention in the article is that there is no way to reach Juneau by land so either one has to take a boat or fly to go to and from Juneau. It also doesn’t sound like they are accusing her of actually doing anything illegal.
