WHY didn't we hear a PEEP from turds like you when Bush was using Air Force One as a taxi cab to and from his ranch? Or when his wife ordered expensive China for the White House?
Can you people get any

Does your right wing propaganda machine ever report THIS stuff?
Obamas to renovate White House with own money, turn down $100K from Congress

WASHINGTON - President Obama is finally taking his own advice when he says all Americans need to sacrifice during these tough times.
After repeated questioning from the White House press corps, the First Couple has decided to pass up the $100,000 that Congress has long allotted to every incoming President to renovate the White House to his taste.
Instead, the Obamas, who are worth millions, will pay to overhaul the White House residence from their own pockets, said Camille Johnston, First Lady Michelle Obama's communications director.
"The Obamas have determined now is not the time to use taxpayer funds and they will not be accepting any donations," Johnston said.
They also recently forked over a few thousand dollars of their own to pay for a South Lawn swing set for daughters Malia and Sasha.
