What, is he P-Diddy?

500 seems MORE than excess. Guess what, we get to foot the bill for it too.

The list of what is going with him is insane.

I would be interested to know how this compares to Bush.
At first glance, this does seem excessive.

Now remember Obama cares and believes in global warming and is totally green.

Also he's a liberal which means spending money that we don't have but that he can tax from us anyway is his number 1 priority.

It does, but I have a feeling it is legitimate.

I will be the first democrat to say that bothers me. There is no need for 500 people to go unless their taking commercial flights. I could see 100 maybe, but what reason would the entire white house need to go?

If this story is true, if it is not true and another LIE by an Obama hater, then once again your credibility for spending concerns is lost.

Gee come on you guys.................

He needs a entourage he is president of the USA you know.
He must feed his narcissistic attitude with praise from his minions. what better way to have others think he is GREAT than to have 500 of them follow him around the world!

You can find the story on both Liberal and Conservative channels and media.
