Really? There have been about 15 threads about everytime the Obama family sets toes off the Whitehouse grounds.

As long as their team wins, they really don't much care if the country suffers.
It has nothing to do with political party. Alaska state law does not allow for the governor to do what Palin did here.

Why didn't she have to reimburse the state for the total cost of these family trips?

Maybe Palin was cheating on Todd when she took those trips like the slag she is

Guess what, Jenny, she's not the POTUS.
The governor of Alaska is apparently not permitted to take family on trips on the state dime.

Did your wonderful Bushie pay for all of his family trips, to England to see the queen, etc?
I think not.
How quickly you forget that Obama is doing nothing illegal with his trips, and neither was Bush.
Yes, Republicans do have short term memory loss...

Hmm. It sure is nice when a poster can come up with arguments other than, "Well Obama/Clinton/Pelosi did it too!" Unfortunately, some posters aren't able to do that, I guess.

I've been wondering if it's at all possible for the Palin supporters in this thread to read this article and offer their comments...particularly those who know nothing about Alaska but seemingly believe that the governor has done such a fine job here.

Of course, every time I've asked the above question it seems to kill the thread...
