Have anything factual to support the urban myth allegation of a $200 million/day trip?

So, do you also whine about CEOs taking posh vacations as part of their compensation package or do you reserve that for your bash Obama about everything posts?

I can put an end to this thread real fast.

it dosent matter if you have a republican in office right now or a democrat. both will have to spend money to get the economy on track. If you can tell me how a president is supposed to create a job without financing, then so be it.

btw. the employement rate when bush left was at 8% and he had republicans all in control. only since obama is in office is when the dems had control.

Here is a list of speakers to verify that
List of Speakers of the United States House of Representatives - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

that way you can't tell me to check facts. we have been in republican contrul since 1995. bill clintons second term. in which everything slowly started to crack. I dont think i need to say much more about it.

Obama is a scape goat if anything. You are knocking a president that has done everything he said he was going to do. name presidents thta have done that. bush spent out of control. people don't know facts. Dont bring up the clinton houseing bill because bush should have monitored that and didnt. or should i say the entire republican party since they were in control. so basically the republicans have been in control during this whole crisis. so why vote them back in. the two years the werent in control, stuff got done? i guess all the republicans of course will say no i am wrong, but im basing this on facts. Obama has stalled the process, good for him! He created jobs, did health care and alot of other stuff.

I doubt that, but let's play.

The government doesn't create jobs, as we have seen in the last two years with the Failed Stimulus. The government CAN create the environment that is conducive to job creation, through tax breaks, less regulatory red tape, rules for business and just plain getting out of the way.

btw. the employement rate when bush left was at 8% and he had republicans all in control. only since obama is in office is when the dems had control.

See, I knew the premise of your thread was defective. The democrats took over BOTH chambers of congress in 2006 election. You didn't know this? Before that, between 2001 and 2007, Bush had the House, but the Senate toggled between both parties.....you didn't know that either, right?

You're right, you shouldn't say much more about it, since you are wrong. I take it you don't know about the Senate? You don't know there is TWO chambers of Congress. See post above.

Obama is a scape goat if anything. You are knocking a president that has done everything he said he was going to do. name presidents thta have done that. bush spent out of control. people don't know facts.

You're right, you don't know the facts. The democrats, since they took congress of BOTH chamber of congress in 2007, have increased the debt by 60+% with their out of control spending. When the dems took over in 2007, the debt was $8.5 Trillion, now it is $14 Trillion, the UE rate was 4.4%, now it is almost 10%, the deficit was $161 Billion, now it is $1.5 Trillion. Those are facts you don't know and can't escape.

Dont bring up the clinton houseing bill because bush should have monitored that and didnt. or should i say the entire republican party since they were in control. so basically the republicans have been in control during this whole crisis. so why vote them back in. the two years the werent in control, stuff got done?

Like the most unpopular entitlement program that was shoved down our throats, against the will of the American people?

i guess all the republicans of course will say no i am wrong, but im basing this on facts. Obama has stalled the process, good for him! He created jobs, did health care and alot of other stuff.
Sorry, but your facts and timelines are wrong.

Obviously you've never heard of Dennis Kozlowski and others of his ilk as you obviously don't know many execs are alloted a certain amount of company jet time for personal use as well as the use of company properties. What's truly obvious is your compulsion to whine about Obama, nothing else.

Wow. What a desperate reach here.

This thread is about his heinous and his thirst for spending money for his own pleasure that is not his. For his arrogance and selfishness for taking away SS/security from their families at Xmas AND New Years.

If you keep talking about Obama's heinous you are going to get this thread moved to the relationship forum.
