Obamas take his and hers flights to LA

[Redfish]

There is plenty, and I do mean plenty to bitch about when it comes to one of the worst Presidents in US history, Obama... Why focus on such menial bullshit?

Obama has no control over the dow jones, The unemployment numbers do not count those who quit looking for jobs and those who are under employed , The deficit what about the debt he has done, The other two I dont know about but I am sure they are made up numbers as well since Obama and his cronies love to make up lies

LOL, they are still trying to pass off on people. if all that is true then why did they KICK OUT Democrats in control of Congress. some people are like cult members. they'll never get tired of misleading people

their problem is that they cannot get themselves to admit that the first black president has been a total failure, so they make up lies to try to cover his massive failures in every aspect of governing.

What pond have you been swimming in~?

Looking at a stupid ass picture, or watching a lying ass news channel is not going to show me the truth
I am looking to my wallet to show me.
And it is looking much thicker than it was after the 8 years of destruction from the president before Obama.

good for you, but most middle class americans and poor americans are worse off. The gap between rich and poor has grown under obama, there are more in poverty than before obama, more on food stamps, more in bankruptcy, etc.

if you are better off, you are either at the top of the income scale or just lucky.

Let's inject some actual facts into this discussion, shall we?

Michelle Obama's total number of travel days = 72
Total countries visited = 25

Barbara Bush's total number of travel days = 212
Total countries visited = 73

National Taxpayers Union - Which First Lady Flies Highest Michelle vs. Laura

Oh snap!

Now on to the rant:

I can't recall a single progressive bitching about Barbara's travel expenses like petulant children.

This OP illustrates perfectly how petty and vindictive the right has become in this country. It's pathetic, embarrassing, and humiliating to those of us with any sense. Other countries are laughing at us. Thanks, idiots! You've given America a bad name.

Laura Bush paid for her vacations out of her OWN pocket. She did not use taxpayer money. So SNAP your own tighty whities.
Laura Bush was voted the most popular First Lady. She traveled promoting women's health and children's education.

Post a link proving Laura Bush paid for her own travel. Everything I've found shows she and her worthless husband cost us a lot more than the Obama's.

they did it because the queen did not want to make a two hour stop in AZ that Barry had scheduled.

That is waste, pure and simple.

The Republican Party has been outraged at the $4 million plus price tag for Obama’s family Christmas vacation, and they constantly hold George W. Bush up as an example of how thrifty a president should be when going on vacation.

The problem is that Bush wasn’t thrifty. He was the most expensive vacation president in U.S. history. Not only did Bush spend more days on vacation than any other president, but he used Air Force One more often while on vacation than any other president. In response to growing criticism that the president was on vacation too much, the Bush administration adopted the Rovian tactic of scheduling, “work events” while the president was in Crawford so that they could claim that President Bush’s vacations were working vacations.

During Bush’s two terms, the cost of operating Air Force One ranged from $56,800 to $68,000 an hour. Bush used Air Force One 77 times to go to his ranch in Crawford, Texas. Using the low end cost of $56,800, Media Matters calculated that each trip to Crawford cost taxpayers $259,687, and $20 million total for Bush’s ranch flights. </QUOTE>

Obamas take his and hers flights to LA - CNN.com


They do it on every vacation too. It is like they are trying to run up the debt..

I'm no fan of the President and First Lady, but my first thought upon reading this headline yesterday was that they're flying separately in the event that, GOD forbid, something should happen to one of the planes at it crashed, their children would not be left parentless. I've known more than one couple who traveled this way for just that reason...


All I can say is this, after all the kvetching and pissing and moaning about Obama's vacations and travel, the right had better hope their next president limits his time off to Camp David because if he doesn't, the left will go off the rails in their tit-for-tat bullshit making what they did with Bush's vacationing look like small potatoes...

It might seem petty if it wasn't the truth. They moved in and has HOSED us down with their traveling. A lot of it was going to Fundraisers FOR HIS party or to give some hate speech at a high school

I'm not saying folks can't complain, I'm not saying folks are wrong, I'm not saying folks are right. Hell, if I was still married to my first wife I'd taken separate planes myself. I can't stand that woman... What I am saying is, perhaps there is an underlying reason for their traveling separately, and really, aren't there bigger things about which to complain and argue?

I for one have never taken issue with the vacationing habits of any President. As far as I can tell it's a shit job for which even the perks can't compensate...
