You lefties are hysterical trying to make excuses. Maybe it washes in your circle jerk minds but not with the rest of the country. How laughable.

Think about what your saying!

First, I don't believe any other President has spent that much on that many people to accompany same to a G8 Summit.

Second, and even more important, let me ask you...when you have a surplus of $'s and can spend more on whatever you wish, what happens when you don't have a surplus anymore and are struggling to make ends meet? Do you keep spending/borrowing, etc., or do you cut back and concentrate on only the essentials necessary to maintain home, food and necessities until things change!

Obama hasn't a clue about economics. He has to be the most egotistic, narcissistic, glory seeking and totally foolish, if not ignorant man I have ever seen above the level of lower class!

Good lord! Look at the link in the quote in the post above yours. Obama had 200 fewer people in his entourage than Bush did on a trip to the UK.

Is that why the entire country is in an uproar about this?


Or is that because the evil liberal media isn't telling anyone?

Was it a G8 Meeting? And...the real issue is that BO isn't smart enough to know when to stop spending, isn't it?
