OMG, Obama said taxpayer money but reguardless where does the tarp money come from? Who paid for that?
He was saying that money shouldnt be thrown away because it wasnt theirs, it was taxpayer money!!!
I know it's tangential but I cant believe you all glommed onto that quote and twisted its meaning, speaking of twisting meanings.
The Soc Sec people were going to have a mandatory meeting of all their managers (who are NOT all located in WashingtonDC). They asked for bids from cities -- would you rather they just take off for Hong Kong or whatever? They were being responsible with this and Im sure the businesses of Phoenix that made some money from it are happy this morning, sorry you cant be.
Did you have a problem with Social Security managers going to meetings when Bush was president?
Do you think in these times there is a need for public servants to run off to a expensive resort for a meeting...I believe you posted just yesterday about the need for more telecommuting...that certainly would have saved $$$.

Telecommuting for evil capitalists. Our fine government workers deserve better!
Why could they not teleconference? Why did they have to have this meeting? What was so important that they had to waste 700k of taxpayers money? Lots of questions if you ask me.

Yes it would have, but this is a fait accompli now, so....
They said in the statement no teleconferencing would be allowed and everyone had to be there. Since the managers are located all over the US, where would you have preferred they meet? They asked for bids, they didnt have a preference.
Is Bush the one that said Companies cant use tax payer dollars to have a conference?
Enough bringing up Bush deal with today. Yes I myself had a problem with Bush spending. Bush doesnt have a thing to do with this.
This is what Obama said and what Obamas gov is doing. Bush has nothing to do with this
Great post and good job trying to get Delusianne back on topic and stopping her from deflecting the debate in another direction...
