jiumped on Air Force One for various campagin swings?
The realithy is one of the perks of the job.
Now what's your point?
I mean REALLY?
Since my link only speaks to the prior 5 Presidents I will talk about them ony, but I am sure that none of the others came very to the 127 events that Obama has been to. The nearest to him was 90 by the older Bush and 88 by the younger. If you need to know any of the others in the group I will refer you to the link.
You have just pointed out one of the major reasons that incumbent people are very hard to beat when the tax payers have to pay for their fundraiser trips. That is a very important perk when running against all others.
My point should have been obvious when I said that so many of those events being so far from DC seem to me to be vacations, especially for an old campaigner in chief like Obama. What does he enjoy as much as campaigning?
I guess you failed to see that Obama outnumbers all those you mentioned in terms of fundraisers. Kind of what I would expect.
Oh, so now it is just that he has done it more often than the GOP, semantics. I think it is because he is raising so much money that bothers you.

Did you cry about it when Raygun did it, did you when Bush Sr did it, how about when any Republican politician does it, NOPE, thought not. Vacation is a relative term when it comes to any President, and we both know that.

I don't care about Bush. I care about Obama raising a bunch of cash to crush whoever the GOP nominee is.
Wall Street and business owners have already decided obozo's fate. Watch the job numbers and watch the market. This president will simply have to eat his peas. His fate is sealed. Back to Chicago he will go

With 127 fundraisers attended up to now he should have dragged in a bit more. What I don't like is to see you left leaners talk about the tax payer paying for his travel costs to fund raisers when it is his Party that benefits from it all. I know you aren't going to put the old cranial region in gear to try to understand this, though.

Why can't he just go back to Africa where he came from or at least Indonesia?
Chicago & Hawaii are too good for him.
