[Gramercy]

When Saint Reagan took vacations was your opinion any different?

I swear some of you just want a reason to ***** about this man no matter what he does.

I bet if you heard he was using two-ply toilet paper instead of one-ply you'd be complaining about how he doesn't care about trees or the environment.

the president gets toilet paper...for free!?

how much is this costing us?

Under Obama, Air Force One cost per hour jumps 27% to $228,288 | WashingtonExaminer.com

So? Why is this a problem?

I'm trying to understand WHY people complain about this man basically doing the same thing other presidents before him have done, but he's getting flack for it.

Is he not deserving of the same treatment?

If not, why?

Don't jump to conclusions, I was just correcting the other poster's information.

You do know the Obamas had money BEFORE taking over presidency, right?

How is this affecting YOUR life??

Hello.

This just shows how to-the-bottom-petty people are getting. What President didn't take vacations with his family? Why is this one singled out?

If you don't like the President, great, you're allowed. But the childish stuff really isn't necessary.

But why?

It's not like Obama hasn't done anything that other presidents have done.

There are people complaining that the man is using AIR FORCE ONE for chrissakes.

Like what the hell is the president of the united states supposed to be flying in? American Airlines? Jet Blue??

On the positive side, it cost less for King Obama to vacation in Hawaii then Kenya.
