Do you know what it costs and what is involved in a presidential/first family trip? Me neither.
But I know it must cost a helluva lot of money. You know, he has to have a cargo plan to fly is limo to wherever he’s going. Reports say that he and Michelle are taking 600 others with them on this Chicago-Olympic pitch trip. And they flew in seperate planes. All the secret service guys. All the assistants to make-up and hair directors for Oprah, Valerie and Michelle.
Geeze.
And I thought we were all suffering and tightening our belts these days… well, all of us but the folks in power.

Here’s where these folks heads are. So far out of touch with Americans…
“Michelle Obama: It’s a ‘sacrifice’ to travel to Europe to pitch for the Olympics. But I’m doing it for the kids”.

I’d almost accept it … if they paid their own way…
