We cannot afford this bum.
Joe Giles October 2, 2012 at 11:06 am
Just wish the guy would pay for these trips out of campaign funds. Taxpayers have enough of a burden
Jeff October 2, 2012 at 11:50 am
I agree, campaigning needs to be done with campaign funds.
joe ponikarovsky October 2, 2012 at 11:51 am
well, even though taxpayers do end up paying some of it, they don't pay all. an incumbent president is responsible for reimbursing expenses used for campaigning (mainly, air force one). and under new laws passed, obama's actually paying a much larger percentage than other incumbents have.
and both candidates/running mates have secret service and motorcades which we're paying for.

Why do people think Obama is doing a good job? Unemployment over 8% for 43 months with more people out of work now then when he took office. Median family income is down $4,000.
Why would a FIRST-TERM senator who spent most of that first term running for another office know how to run anything, especially the world's largest economy. Mitt Romney ran a company, he ran something as large as the Olympics, he ran a state. Obama ran NOTHING!!!!!!!!

Air Force One $181,757/hour
Secret Service protection $47,000,000/year Losing the 2012 election Priceless
Jeff October 2, 2012 at 07:19 pm
But now he HAS run the USA for nearly 4 years, so the past is the past.
Jeff October 2, 2012 at 07:20 pm
Maybe they should sell tickets on AF1 to defray the costs? Sell 20 first class tickets at $10,000/hr and turn a profit!
French Swede October 2, 2012 at 09:28 pm
Jeff--You left the " i " out of run
Joe Giles October 3, 2012 at 05:06 am
Taxpayer seat the cost of all the Air Force One campaign flight. Try around a million dollars for 1 round trip. With all the daily campaign trips this year lots of $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Garry Kanter October 3, 2012 at 07:36 am
Can you tell me how Obama's campaign activities differ from his predecessors that were running for re-election?
Garry Kanter October 3, 2012 at 07:37 am
Priceless?
If you count all the Koch & Adelson $ Rove is spending as "Priceless", maybe.

You're paying for their free cell phones every month. It's part of your phone bill.
Jeff October 3, 2012 at 03:27 pm
French, since you seem knowledgeable on the issue, specifically which itemized fee or tax on our phone bill is going towards the free cell phones?
Keith Best October 3, 2012 at 08:39 pm
Hey Jeff-
The GDP (Gross Domestic Product) of this country was recently downgraded to 1.3%. This is abysmal. The upcoming jobs report will show America to have a 44th month of unemployment over 8%. When you figure in those that have given up looking for work, it's closer to 19%. THAT is abysmal. Median Family Income has dropped $4,000 under Obama. More people are out of work now then when Obama took office. The above are the facts. Why are some Americans continuing to support a president who's only experience was as a US Senator in his first term, who spent most of that first term running for higher office. Before that he was a state senator in his first term who voted "present" over 100 times instead of a yea or nay vote. Romney has run a business, a successful Olympics and a state. One has "Executive Experience" , the other is still trying to figure out what that is after almost 4 years.
Patrice Tyler October 3, 2012 at 09:03 pm
STOP TALKING ABOUT OBAMA PHONES!!! It is part of a free telecommunication act that was passed in 1996 for people on disability, social security, and low income families, that used to be based in the government paying people's phone bills, but, was recently updated to offer cell phones instead of landlines. 1996!!!!!! IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH OBAMA!!!! Learn the facts before you start ranting and raving lies.
Patrice Tyler October 3, 2012 at 09:09 pm
Also, he's the president people. He isn't allowed to fly unless it's on Airforce one! That's not his choice. That's the way it's been for years.
Jeff October 3, 2012 at 09:13 pm
Keith, thank you for your well worded reply! I wish there were more people like you on both sides!
French Swede October 3, 2012 at 09:54 pm
Who's talking about OBAMA phones? I never heard them called that until I watched that hysterical lady in the video screaming about them to justify voting for Obama.
Holly Pierpont October 3, 2012 at 11:44 pm
The relevance about the "Obama Phones" and the screaming lady, is that is points out that there are people who have absolutely no clue what they are talking about, and why they are voting for the people they are. That lady is the role model for the uneducated voter out there - who thinks Obama is the greatest thing since sliced bread, because she's got a free cell phone.
It also supports Romney's 47% comment that here we have a voter that no matter what he says or does, she's going to vote for the man who she thinks gives her a handout.
Holly Pierpont October 3, 2012 at 11:51 pm
Patrice, to be clear - the program called "Lifeline" originated in 1984 subsidizing landlines. Then the cellphones were added to the program in 2008. In 2008 that program cost the taxpayers $772 million, yet in 2011 that grew to $1.6 billion and is full of fraud. An audit in 2011 found hundreds of thousands of subscribers of this Lifeline program receiving two or more phones from multiple service providers. It does have something to do with Obama, like it or not.
French Swede October 4, 2012 at 12:45 am
Amen to that, Holly!

Who want to go back to back alley abortions thats what will happen if Romney gets elected
Jean Williams October 25, 2012 at 03:10 am
An save the abortion talking point they said the same thing with reagan ,bush senior,and bush junior there are way too many pro choice republicans out there to ever let that happen
Colter95 November 2, 2012 at 08:12 pm
Do you think Obama is a good guy and a straight shooter? Read on, please: Obama has been an economic disaster the last four years, and this Benghazi disgrace is completely unacceptable... This country does not reward failure and dishonesty out of the White House...

Hope and change, baby... It's much harder to do once you have a record that can be reviewed... He also said in 2008 that if he didn't get the job done in four years, that it would be a one term deal... Well, he hasn't delivered, so time to let him keep his word... Romney/Ryan 2012
Colter95 November 4, 2012 at 04:09 pm
Wrong on the economy, wrong on Benghazi, and wrong on the auto bailout... The time for real change is NOW!!

I think Enterprise was going to move there, since BMW is moving to where Enterprise is.
