The MSM compares "days" of vacations between Obama and Bush. What they fail to mention is that most of Bush's vacations were at his ranch in Texas, and I'm sure cost far less than trips to Spain, renting mansions in Martha's Vineyard, Hawaii, etc.

Just think how much more Romney would spend? A Republican Congress, no real check on him. It would be a mess.

supposed to set a reasonable example,
What leftist/marxist is ever reasonable in anything.

And, I hope the liberal msm gets their butts bitten badly over the way they have treated obama versus Bush. I know that won’t happen but I can dream.

No, I’m talking about the recklessness of the president of the United States.

The danger remains Communism.

Photobucket

It was the Communist plan in 1934. It is 0bama’s Communist plan today.

The trips abroad and the vacations get all the press but BO is in constant motion campaigning in the US as well.

Anybody w/ the opportunity should talk w/ people involved in these caravans.

He flies his motorcade ahead of him everywhere w/ a couple of C130s-including 2 of the "monster" or "beast" whatever they call the bullet-proof SUV that's built like a Bradley. There are also limos and other vehicles for the staff.

I've also heard that the super bus thing he had custom made in Canadia follows him everywhere as well.

Each of these stops racks up 100's of thousands of $$. He'll do several a week.

Well, of course. When everything is handed to you all of your life you have no way of dealing with anything budgetary never mind responsibility. Mooch is even worse then he is. She had everything handed to her too.

and if I remember correctly - Bush was also working many of these days at the ranch.
Didn’t many people travel with him and conduct normal business in Texas?

Not only isn’t Obama working while traveling...he isn’t even working when he’s in DC.
That’s ok with me....the less he “works” the better it is for all of us.

OMG!!! A total reimbursement of $5,500 for all of his 2011 travel. That’s a total travesty. Once a year I fly first class from Knoxville, TN to Sacramento, CA, stay for about 11 days, rent a compact car, rent a motel room at LaQuinta, and board two large dogs and a cat for a total cost of about $2,500. That’s the total cost of just a little more than two of my rather modest, excepting the first class air travel, trips to CA. The Obamas are liars, thieves, pigs and America haters who love to disrespect Americans and America by deliberaely rubbing our faces in it with their obscene, ostentatious travel, nearly all of it paid for with borrowed money.

Just like the days of the Soviet comissars, they lived high on the hog while the ordinary people lived like serfs.

Obama family spending --the parties, every musical artist he ever liked invited to personally entertain him in our house, at our expense, almost 100 rounds of golf, campaigning nonstop on our expense.

Seems a tactic to put in your face a reminder he is the leader and you (the average person) can not stop him. He is the figurehead of this movement, machine to transform America.

Community Organizers agitate.

The new video, If you wanted America to fail touched on this. Our government leader living like a king, as the rest of the country suffers due to intentional policies.

Anyone tally this all up? I’m thinking that there’s some campaign fodder here.

I had a letter in yesterday’s NY Post on just this issue.

The GSA conference in Las Vegas is chicken feed compared to the lavish spending of the White House.

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

Let me see, he is not a president, he is someone endlessly campaigning and doing photoOps, always angry at people criticizing him.
