Let me make sure I got this straight. It’s okay for him to take 800 friends, 40 large aircraft, three helicopters, numerous automobiles and rent out 500 hotel rooms but we can’t “just go to Vegas” or whatever it was he admonished us we couldn’t do?

The use of AF-1 for political trips has long been abused because all the president has to do is make a visit to a VA hospital or some other place and he has the excuse he needs to spend a few million taxpayer dollars and call it legal.

What I want to know is does the president have basically an unlimited expense account that he can spend literally any amount of money he wants?

But this trip with FORTY aircraft, SEVEN HUNDRED hotel rooms, and no telling how many thousands of czars, aides, aides of aides, friends, family, and friends of families and whoever else they can manage to squeeze onto the 40 aircraft and into the 700 hotel rooms is just another example of how Obastard really and truly doesn’t give a DemocRat’s ass what the people of the United States think.

He a Moochelle ARE King Louis 16th and Marie Antoinette and the people are thoroughly disgusted with them.

As do I. Congress controls purse strings; surely they have a measure of control over the budgets for Executive branch discretionary - indeed, frivolous - expenditures like this.

Is even Obama familiar with the concept of a budget, I wonder?

Ostensibly it’s to sell $127 million worth of aircraft to India. The trip will cost twice that, if that is indeed the pathetic reason this pathetic imbecile is making the trip with hundreds of his butt-kissers, his wookie and his two daughters.

I wonder what Grand Duchess Gloriana XII would have said about this?
