So that, and the fuel for air force one, and the extra police presence that is incurred does cost the taxpayers some money.
Do you even know what Camp David is? They Are STILL paying for security protection there even when NOT IN USE

"Thousands of students, several well-known athletes and a number of politicians are expected to join Michelle Obama for an event in Des Moines that will promote exercise and healthy eating. About 10,000 children will be bused to the event from 45 schools in the Des Moines area."

What a minute! Students from in and around Des Moines are going to an event in Des Moines via bus? My god! What has the world come to?!!!

You seem very bitter as of late.

It really upsets you that we are heading towards 4 more years of Obama, doesn't it.

Not even close to the same. I give you a D-. I might raise this to a C- if you can tell me what Regan has to do with the Obama photo op, or are you just trying to deflect as usual?

Nah, you can keep your so called grading system, apparently you need it to learn a little history instead of attempting to change it.

Nancy began the program in 1981 and began touring around the country. The bill was not passed until 1986.

The Dare Program was Nancy Reagans project the same as the Health and Fitness was Bush Sr. Project which he appointed to Arnold Schwartzenegger, the same program that Michelle Obama has revived.

The complaint is Michelle using the kids as a photo op and wasting tax payer money. How in the heck is this any different from the other first ladies projects. One of THE MOST EXPENSIVE to the tax payers was Nancy Reagans Dare Program. Geesh, you were actually trying to spin that?

Guy,he spent a good portion of that at his ranch not just camp david. I think you are missing the point, the point is he spent 3 times as much vacation as this president did. so on all these trips all HIS extra expenses incurred can also be viewed as waste. Regardless if they travel with him or not, all that time he spent on vacations cost the taxpayers money they would of spent had he stayed in the white house. Since the right seems so fond of pissing when the current president takes a vacation and costs taxpayers money i figured they would like to admit they do it as well.

Actually YOU are the one who needs the history lesson, unless you think the Anti Drug Abuse Act wouldnt have been signed into law had it not been for Nancy Reagan. Do you have anything at all to support this bs you ar trying to spin?

And when Bush was in DC, his ranch STILL HAD security protection.

Furthermore, he had dignitaries at both locations. THATS NOT A VACATION despite your left wing bs claims that it is.

I know, and you're cool with the very low rate he pays, but a short school bus trip for excitied kids is HORRIBLE....Dude, we know you're because her name is Obama. Still can't accept it. I know, it's going to be a long 5 years. Better have ample tissue available.
