Ahh I see the problem, you cant ask a proper question.

Is he the Only president to do what, campaign? NO. but NO ONE has a problem with him CAMPAIGING.. Is he the only one to have the taxpayers BUY him a bus to campaign on? YES. If you had read the story you wouldnt be asking questions that were already answered by it

Presidents BY LAW have to reimburse the taxpayers the cost for using taxpayer assets for campaigns. DO YOU NOT KNOW THIS?

You might have to ask the question again, just to be "more clear" that you didnt read the story and dont comprehend the laws.

But your boy claimed to be different, above this dishonesty. Why aren't you outraged that you've been lied to and humped without even being kissed?

Obama criticizes GOP presidential field - politics - Decision 2012 - msnbc.com

Lets see.. he's out, traveling the country, criticizing his opposition, in cities where they are campaigning, if not campaigning, whats he doing?

Why dont you stop spinning the law breakage and just call it what it is?

You know what, your posts are unpleasant. You knew exactly what I was asking, it wasn't rocket scientist, & you chose instead to feign ignorance & then get rude w/me. I don't appreciate having to ask something a multitude of times because the person I'm replying to is trying to get me riled up by deliberately misinterpreting what I'm saying. I hope in the future you can restrain yourself from snide remarks towards people who are trying to get an answer to something that you don't feel like answering.

If you dont like me answering obvious questions with with what should be obvious answers, maybe you should take the time out to read the links FIRST.

Furthermore, I DID answer you NUMEROUS times, and NO ONE here has a problem with Obama campaigning. NO ONE has objected to it, NO ONE has criticized it, NO ONE has said he shouldnt be doing it. Its YOU who dont seem to comprehend the difference between TAXPAYER funded campaigning and NON-TAXPAYER funded.

I understand it completely. I also understand that this bus will be used not only by him but visiting dignitaries. As far as your statement that it needs to be paid back to the taxpayers, I understand that as well. I'm wondering why you would think it would not be paid back? I also asked if other presidents, and I'll be crystal clear now, have campaigned using Air Force One or some other mode of transportation that was not funded by their own money. That still has yet to be answered. And again, do not respond to me or anyone else in that way, it is very rude, condescending and not conducive to conversation.
