President Barack Obama on Thursday firmly rejected any criticism that his worldwide travel on Air Force One or his family's vacations have left him out of touch with Americans' struggles, saying flying aboard the famed official plane is "not my choice."
"The fact of the matter is, I think if you look at my track record, I'm raising a family here. When we travel, we got to travel through Secret Service, and Air Force One, that's not my choice. I think most folks understand how hard I work and how hard this administration is working on behalf of the American people," Obama told KMOV of St Louis. The interview was one of four sessions the White House arranged with local TV in states expected to be battlegrounds in November.
KMOV reporter Larry Conners had told Obama that some of the station's viewers "are complaining, they get frustrated, even angered, when they see the first family jetting around, different vacations and so forth, sometimes maybe, they think, under color of state business and that you're out of touch, that you don't really know what they're experiencing right now."
"Well, I don't know how many viewers you're talking about that say that," Obama countered. "We do hear from some," replied Conners. "I hear from all kinds of viewers about everything," Obama shot back. "I'm sure you do," said Conners.

King Putt. It is hard being me.
He's so divine and above us mere mortals, that he probably has some one else s**t for him.
Yeah, he needs all those vacations.
It’s hard work dismantling the Constitution and destroying America.
Yeah, he needs all those vacations.
It’s hard work dismantling the Constitution and destroying America.
When you think you are god then AF1 probably seems like a sacrafice.
The Pres_ _ent is a shuckin’ and jivin’ fraud and chrnic liar. He is a spewer of one lie after another because he is of his father, the father of lies a murderer from the start. The real tragedy is so many fellow Americans defending the lying bastard.
Ding Ding Ding, we have a winner!
It certainly wasn’t my choice to have him flying on AF One, and he’s free to stop any time he’d like. (Hopefully Jan 2013 is the latest.)
The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
It’s all about him, how great he is, how hard he works and how he deserves it all, blahblah blahblah blah.
Why does he work so hard at doing so little? It must be some kind of community organizer thing.
The victim card aboard AF1 ?
When will our MSM laugh at this ass ?
“I think most folks understand how hard I work” Yup, that’s exactly your problem Barky. We DO understand exactly how hard you work. You should be FIRED!
Upon his inauguration, GWB let Bill & Hillary fly "home" to Arkansas on AF 1.
I don't recall. Did Zero put AF 1 at GWB's disposal to fly him home after the inauguration?
