Obama Campaign Stiffs Vermont Police
Fox News Radio ^ | April 6, 2012 | Todd Starnes

Trevor Whipple, the police chief in South Burlington, told Fox News that his department incurred $4,200 in overtime expenses as a result of separate fundraising events featuring President Obama and the First Lady.

......

“The president is the president wherever he goes and whatever he does,” Vermont Democratic Party Chairman Jake Perkinson told Fox News. “I don’t think there’s any credible reason to be nickel and diming the security of the President of the United States or his family.”

Perkinson said taxpayers should be happy to cover the cost of the president’s fundraising visit to Vermont.

Torches and pitchforks time? Or most likely, the people of Vermont will roll over and bow to the emperor.

My request was not to the president, not to the White House, but to the campaign,” Whipple said. “It has nothing to do with politics. There was an additional financial burden on our agency and this was – in my mind – a fundraising event. Had the president been coming here to speak to a group or to do something that was 100 percent part of the president’s duty, I wouldn’t send anyone a bill.”

The Resident has been campaigning full time ever since Inauguration day. This was a FUNDRAISER. Does he bill the taxpayers for all his fundraisers? Even the elite ones with lobster and champaign?

How many tax dollars did all of us get billed for his six airplanes and three or four hundred Secret Service Agents, or whatever it took to get him there and back again?

I suppose he can't be bothered with little details like that.

This is South Burlington, VT. The Flatlanders have totally infested the area. Check out UV Burlington. Anyone who confesses to being only a Socialist is thrown out of the Commune...

You’ll pay for Obama’s fundraising activities and you’ll like it! /s

I’m sure he meant that Obama is the president wherever he goes. If Bush were president, well ... that’d be different story I’m sure.

The arrogance. Words fail me.

Happy to pay the cost, eh? Why stop at that? This is Easter season. Have those serfs go out and throw down palm and olive branches at the Coming Of The Won. Obama is The Messiah, or haven't you heard?

Lousy scumbags, the lot of them.

I’m waiting for some governor from a red state to park trooper vehicles on the runway as he approaches.

“Sorry, fouled deck. See ya’ after the next election.”
