Because they were public companies in danger of failing, at the time.

And they "could," Obama never took steps to stop them.

SSA is in danger of failing...well lets be honest it is bound to fail.

But the servants of the people went and had a good time anyway.

You seem to support government waste of the people's money...surely I am mistaken?

-The companies that Obama told couldnt have theirs were scheduled in advance and they canceled theirs. So whats the next excuse
-How much did those companies lose when they actually canceled theirs?

Nothing you said above is valid or a point. So please lets not talk about understanding seriously because your entire post was lacking and nothing but excuses for Obama.
You need some civics classes, Jadex.
No, Obama doesn't know the inner workings of each agency. Why, how would he? Every director of every agency doesn't know the minutiae of each and every employee or meeting in his agency.
Why don't you link to how much companies receiving buyouts lost by cancelling conferences since you're so outraged. Or is the outrage just for hating Obama purposes?
You complain about government employees being stupid, yet you berate them for learning probably better, faster, cheaper ways to do their jobs.

You seem to know nothing about economics.
And please, don't bother responding, you're another one into the "too stupid to read anymore" filter.

Since I have oz on filter, and someone quoted him, tell me what SSA has to do with DOD and NO, I am not a DoD employee, I work WITH, not FOR them. So David, you actually don't know everything/anything about anyone else.

lol our gov isnt borrowing money? lol how is that different then a company borrowing from the gov. Both are having to borrow money to pay their bills.

Yeah Obama getting on national tv telling them what he did wasnt going to stop them. lol Since he held the purse strings to their company making it or not

They dont seem to know that Obama has had to borrow money from China and now just printing money to cover our bills.

Hey oz, I think it was you I asked if you ever complained about government employees running off to meetings spending our money during the Bush regime.

So, did you ever complain about that?

To answer your question -- I think they might as well have the meetings if they dont have them every week, but they should spend 100% in local places, not chains -- hotels, restaurants, souvenir stores, etc.
