Aretha Franklin has much R-E-S-P-E-C-T for President Barack Obama — regardless of his spelling skills.

At a White House tribute to the "Women of Soul" last Thursday, Obama dropped the initial "E'' when trying to spell out "respect" as the queen of soul does in her famous song. He was spelling out the word as part of Franklin's introduction.

"I'm sure the President had much on his agenda and was just a little tired," the 71-year-old singer said in a statement Monday.

He is always tired, because his activities: partying, vacations and golf, are tiring stuff. Costly too, but is not he who’s paying the bills.

“President Obama’s 17-Day Hawaii Vacation Cost $4 Million

TRAVEL via Air Force One: $3,629,622

The cost for USAF C-17 cargo aircraft that transports the Presidential limos, helicopters and other support equipment to Hawaii was not made available, but the estimated operating cost of $260,000.
Mrs. Obama’s early flight to Hawaii costs about $163,000.

HOUSING of the president and family: $151,200
Housing U.S. Secret Service, U.S. Coast Guard and Navy Seals: $151,200
Hotel for President’s staff and White House Press Corps: $72,216
Local police over time for the president’s visit has historically cost Oahu taxpayers: $250,000

TOTAL: $4 million dollars for a 2 1/2 week holiday in Hawaii.”

Obama needs all the excuses he can get for just about anything from anybody. He is a child.

Heck yeah! He's got SO many vacations to plan, I really feel for the guy. He must be exhausted! And he's got to figure out what to do with the moose when he gets her there.
