0bama said we are broke, and yet he feels the need to live the life of the jet setters?
Hmm, I don't have a lot of money, so I go to local establishments, I do not fly hundreds of miles to go to exotic places. 0bama can satisfy himself with the local entertainment of Washington, just like everyone else who lives there.
Where did you dine at the last time you went out to entertain your friends, spouse etc...? I'll bet you never thought that catching a movie or a show involved flying in a jet a few hundreds of miles. you probably reserved yourself to places in the local phone book directory.
It does cost tens of thousands when they go out in DC as well. The President requires Secret Service, security, etc.
All this manufactured outrage over the President doing the exact same thing every President before him has done.
Well lets look at this in a positive manner in that Perhaps, Maybe, Americans are fed up! Maybe this economic crises has changed our perception and we will no longer just let our entitled politicians do as they please with OUR money.
Maybe Americans realize the American Government is not bailing out anything- The American people are the ones doing the bailing out. Because without OUR money the Government does not have dogcrap to hand out to their friends on Wall St and in the UAW.

Wow, presidential strawmen now.
"The worst economy since the great depression" guess it never sunk in after reading that off the teleprompter. This president has traveled more in four months then Carter, Reagan, Bush, Clinton, Bush combined.
0bama needs to get out of campaign mode, and at least take the time to start reading what the hell he signs.

That is a load....
It does not cost that much for a fleet of Limo's to run down the streets, it cost that much to drive to the Airport.
The Jets are very expensive and the costs were much higher than the stated costs. They were more than likely stated as a "Per Head" instead of total, which would be through the roof.
The cost of the secrect service is null, because they are on duty 24/7 already, they just get to go for the ride and it costs more to take them for a flight than a car ride as basic transportation.
This little "Date" is going to cost him... Kind of like his version of "Let them eat cake"...
I don't remember either "Bush" going out on a date.
You have a "Leader" who claims we are broke (which we are) and he still lives the life of a King... You lead by example, not just direction.
Bush flew to Crawford on your dime over 70 times a a cost of millions
Bush flew to his retreat in Maine dozens of times on your dime as well
