Small price to pay to keep him out of the office!

Excellent point! :ThmbUp:

The same guy who won re-election by demonizing rich people (namely Romney). At least Romney lived rich on his own money, Obama lives rich on the backs of taxpayers. How anyone voted for him the second time is beyond me. The guy is the biggest hypocrite in history. Also what about his environmental footprint? Flying a big airplane around with just a handful of people on it. Doesn't that contribute to the Global Warming he thinks will kill us all? I used to think Carter was the most pathetic president because of his cowardice, Obama is 10x worse.

We are just lucky he and the first lady do not have very large families.

Bush called his Crawford ranch "White House West"so he could say he was at the White House. :D

They all do it ! No surprise.

And there was a big uproar way back when about Eisenhower playing golf all the time. The more things change, the more things stay the same.l

Nothing new. :ThmbDown:

nothing new about Obama's spending. everything he does is the most expensive ever. but for a guy who claims to believe that carbon is killing the planet and the single biggest threat to the planet, he is surprisingly nonchalant about running all around on a 747. sometimes they come back from vacation on separate planes too. What a carbon footprint.

Well, since Mr.Trump believes in doing everything first class, you aln't seen nothing yet if he becomes POTUS. Tell me it isn't so!

He already has his own jet - he won't be flying around his family and friends in Air Force 1 to see a basketball game on the west coast.

Previous presidents took more time off than Obama has.
I'm sure the aggregate cost was comparable as well.

I'm sure that his personal jet is better equipped than Air Force One anyway. It's H-U-G-E !! :D

You guys crack me up ! :D

This is somewhat right, although he's only costing us the DIFFERENCE between what's he's spending and what's normally spent.

Absolutely true! He'll NEVER be flying in Air Force 1. ;)

Even when He's in... He's Out... of touch that is ;) . Him and Moochel really live it up on our dime. What's 70 mil here or there when stacked up to the 9 or 10 trillion he tack on. :rolleyes:

I would imagine that he would be required to fly in Air Force 1 and Marine 1 if elected.

Yes he will, because any plane the president is on is Air Force One. Except he won't because he will never be president.

That would involve phonying up more birth certificates :lol:
