Let’s look into abuse, namely the wholesale abuse of taxpayer money. I don’t mean raising taxes. I mean the indiscriminate spending of tax money by government officials.
It’s bad enough that the General Services Administration blew $823,000 in tax dollars on a posh, five-day spending spree in Las Vegas at a "training conference."
No, I’m talking about the recklessness of the president of the United States, as he spends your money on travel for himself and his wife. Here’s a man who is supposed to set a reasonable example, when, in fact, the best word for his behavior is extravagant.

Cracker Rich.
The objective is for people to start using the term that was commonly used for someone that got money in their pocket and blew it on “flash” to impress people with how much money they had.
It was called being “N” rich.
Good ol race baiting 1960’s style, but what do you expect from a community organizer.
Anyone tally this all up? I’m thinking that there’s some campaign fodder here.

The Obamas’ billionaire lifestyle of nonstop partying, worldwide vacations, fund-raising and abuse of government jets sent the GSA the message that extravagant spending was acceptable
The DNC talking point =if the Bush tax cuts are renewed it will add to our debt.
Greta covered this last night. They are kicking around a plan to tax current IRA, 401k retirement accounts because they need more money from us. Very disgusting... to go after people who saved and were responsible , and give it to partying government.

Reminds me of the Curtis Mathes TV ads from the 70's (maybe earlier, IDK)... "...cost a little more, but darn well worth it..."

With BHO, it was JUNK from the get-go...
Let me see, he is not a president, he is someone endlessly campaigning and doing photoOps, always angry at people criticizing him.
Other wasteful spending seems prestrategized in bills with large slush funds. (DOE, stimulus)
Same with the state department and USaid, Hillary seems to always be giving money away to other people. It is also in your face..including Muslim outreach.
You really shouldn’t use the term “community organzer” in referring to what the Illegal did. The proper term is “communist street agitator.”
