[paulitician]

Still think you have a credible American 'News' Media? And mugging Taxpayers for $358k? Man, what a scam. This President has no shame.

U.S. taxpayers picked up the $1.5 million tab for Obama’s Labor Day weekend excursions, which included a $537k trip on the fundraising circuit and a $653k trip to Wisconsin for “Laborfest 2014,” according to the report...

After fundraising the day before the wedding in Westchester, N.Y., Obama made the quick jaunt back to Washington, D.C. to “spend the night in his own bed” before returning for the MSNBC wedding, running up $295k in additional expenses, per the Judicial Watch report...

Bush Spent 5 Times More On Flights To Texas Than Obama s Christmas Vacation Costs

That same pattern of false information about Obama’s travel costs relative to Bush’s is also rampant on right wing blogs, websites, and Fox News. The cost of Obama’s Christmas vacation is a good example of how right wing media can take a small fact like vacation costs or the number of Americans paying taxes in a single year and build an entire misinformation campaign around it.

Pay Us Back Boehner and GOP Owe Taxpayers 124 Million for Bush Vacation Travel

Not surprisingly, John Boehner was totally silent when President George W. Bush was setting the presidential record for most vacation days. Bush was not only on vacation more than any other president. He spent more money on non-official travel than any other president in American history. As president, George W. Bush used Air Force One to fly to his ranch in Crawford, TX for vacation.


http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/...s-vineyard-clinton-bush-fdr-vacation/2632979/

At the same point in Bush's presidency, the 43rd president had spent 367 days at his ranch in Crawford, Texas, and his parent's compound at Kennebunkport, Maine, according to a count by CBS News reporter Mark Knoller. Obama, who doesn't own a vacation home, has spent a total of 92 days of his presidency on vacation, according to Knoller.

"I would just check what they said six years ago," Carney said of the Republican criticism.


The Traveling President

Q: Is President Obama flying on Air Force One more than other presidents did? Is he being accompanied by more people on international trips?


A: Two chain e-mails suggesting that the president's travel habits are more excessive than his predecessors are off base.




FULL QUESTION


Is it true that Air Force One pilots and crew are flying President Obama more than President Bush? And that he flew 172 times in 2010?

And war criminal Bush is still soaking us:


George W. Bush tops list of ex-presidents expenses in 2012 at 1.3 million Dallas Morning News

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Former President Bill Clinton's 8,300-square-foot Harlem office near the Apollo Theater costs taxpayers nearly $450,000. George W. Bush spends $85,000 on telephone fees, and another $60,000 on travel. Jimmy Carter sends $15,000 worth of postage - all on the government's dime.

The most exclusive club in the world has a similarly exclusive price tag - nearly $3.7 million, according to a new report from the nonpartisan Congressional Research Service. That's how much the federal government spent last year on the four living ex-presidents and one presidential widow.

Topping the list in 2012 was George W. Bush, who got just over $1.3 million last year.

Go into liberal default mode and blame Bush. ...

So tired of this type of bs from people like you. Anywhere any president goes costs taxpayers. We all know this. It is part of being president. Using it as political fodder is stupid and makes you look like the jackass that you are. Fuck off.

 

[paulitician]

Kinda sad, most American Sheeple really do still believe they have a credible 'News' Media. When will they see the light? It's a Government/Corporate Media Complex at this point. So shame on MSNBC and this President. They should both do the right thing and reimburse American Taxpayers.

History News Network Have Presidents in the Past Attended the Funerals of Dead Soldiers

History News Network Have Presidents in the Past Attended the Funerals of Dead Soldiers
Have presidents in the past attended the funerals of soldiers who died in combat? Have they taken note of the deaths of U.S. soldiers? The record is mixed, as can be seen below. It would appear that few presidents have ever actually attended military funerals, though many used the bully pulpit to draw attention to lives lost in the service of their country.

Maureen Dowd also criticized the president for refusing to allow the media to take pictures of the coffins of slain soldiers arriving at Dover Air Force Base. During the first Iraq war a similar ban was in effect.
