Obama calls for belt-tightening on eve of Asian tour - Washington Times

Hmmm, probably something he shouldve said and lived by from day one. But we havent seen that being done by the government. Weve seen just the opposite thanks to Obamas own plans.

And dont expect him to do his share. He will continue to rack up the $pending flying around hear and there and whatever else the WH is wasting money on.

Hypocrisy at its finest and its really a slap in the face to Americans whove been calling for the government to tighten its belt for how long now...

Um... Flying around the world and meeting with foreign dignitaries is kind of part of his job.
Just like it was for every president before him.

But flying all over for Mrs. Obamas vacation whims isn't.

I will check with my Aussie friend to determine if he managed to land there. He has started toward Australia more than once but never managed to get there.

Have any of his campaign trips in our borders lately been anything other than campaign at the cost of the taxpayers? I think not.

I've already tightened my belt, and there are no more holes! My money has gone to his golfing and his wife's shopping sprees with her BBF's. Sounds like Emelda Marcos.

Is the belt going to tighten because all of the companies he gave money to went bankrupt, or does this mean he will only give GE $3B this year and Solantra $400M?

A hole punch and a Somali diet will do wonders. Well, until the belly starts to bulge and then you know you've over done it.

Would that exclude his jobs spending bill that we have no way to pay for ?
He said the same thing the last time we raised the debt ceiling.

Words...but no actions.
