for the POTUS to go flying off to a theme park.

Let's see if you can defend his trip without deflecting attention from this issue
to bring up any other president who has been in office.
The way our political system works, politicains are forced to campaign.

This is an election year. It is predicted to be very close.

Since the United States elects presidents using the electoral college, candidates are forced to campaign heavily in states where the results will likely be the closest.

There ya go.

The perpetual inhabitant obama visits Fantasyland, known as the Land of Make Believe to tell us how he is going to improve the economy while reading from a teleprompter.

I just checked with my official Disney source. Only Main Street was shut down. All park guests were routed through a backstage area into Tomorrowland. (And backstage at any Disney park is a real treat for the true fan. ) Wait times for rides were very short.

Sorry, haters.

I'm guessing that you know there is an additional $37. charge per ticket to add a "park hopper".

It actually depends on how many days you purchase your ticket for. The more days you add the cheaper the hopper is per day.

The scam artist did this only to cover his sorry butt for destroying jobs in Florida by shutting down NASA and other Florida jobs.

No one is falling for his scam.

He cost tons of people good paying jobs in Florida along the important I-4 corridor and he knows it. Now he is trying to scam people into not remembering the welfare Presidents ways.

Then goes off to the 3 million dollar lunch fund raiser in NYC.

How nice, country going to hell under his control and he is not in Washington working and fixing the mess he created.

Did obama sing "When you Wish upon a Star"...when he was standing in front of the make believe castle?

Perhaps he was humming it..

Obama's visit was inconsiderate. Defend it all you like.

And??? They still did not show the security that happens BEFORE a President arrives to any area. You think they just let the President pop in somewhere without sending in secret agents to do a sweep of the area first? And then there is his staff to go in and set up, the media to set up. Trust me, it isn't a 10min thing
