Our govt is a joke.
So the President should lock himself up inside the White House and NEVER leave because of the amount of protection he requires? Do you not think that he is conducting business on the trips he takes? Do you really think that other Presidents did not do the same thing? Come on now, be real. Jay

Things must be pretty bad for the Democrats if this president finds it necessary to campaign in Connecticut and Massachusetts. May he have the same success he had with Martha Coakley and that Corzine crook.

Boy you're right on the nose! It's a good thing no past/present republican leaders would ever dream of campaigning for their fellow party members!

The use of Harbor Yard might not require it...but he's going to have to get there somehow. Expect a definite traffic issue!

It doesn't make sense that you're 'intelligent' enough to use a word like "hence", yet can't spell "somebody" or use proper grammar.

If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then...

no my thought processes have intelligence in them, but i dont feel the need to put every punctuation and correct use of word for typing on a forum.

get real, if i wanted to be politically correct i would go through and double check my typing

No I dont think he is conducting business on his trips. I dont think he's conducting business when he is home. I never said other Presidents didn't do the same thing either, does that make it right? Their primary job it seems is to promote other politicians in their party.

As far as protection I figure no president is any more valuable than another so theres no reason it should cost us one dime more for Obama than earlier presidents. Also once his family decides to go cavorting around it should be on their dime not mine. A politician is elected, not his family.
