Yeah, yesterday he was home in Chicago to celebrate his 50th birthday. At first I thought it was good for him because he said that now that the debt limit issues was resolved (yeah right) he could come home to celebrate with family and friends. Then I heard what actually happened.
He touched down in Chicago at O'hare around 6 in the evening and headed back around 4 hours later. I wonder how much tax payer money was blown for a 4 hours stay in Chicago. Not to mention all the traffic jams from road closures for his ground transportation. But I was willing to cut him some slack since it was his 50th and he had been quite busy. What did he do with those 4 hours you might ask to justify all that tap payer money? He had a fund raiser/birthday party at the Aragon ballroom charging supporters up to almost 40K to attend. Our tax dollars at work. The cost of that trip should have been paid for by his re-election campaign funds.
If this was a one time thing it wouldn't bother me that much but we all know how many times this type of thing will be repeated over the next 15 months.It's almost as if all his overconfident, absolutist assertions were spoonfed to him by a trusted website or subreddit. Sheeple

Nobody else wonders if he progressively dyes it grayer to look more and more like an experienced elder statesman for the next election?

Supporting AIR FORCE 1 is not a drop in the bucket and we know who paid for the trip. US TAXPAYERS. He was not drumming up support for his policies. It was a blatant fund raiser. Every politician doing it does not make it right.It's almost as if all his overconfident, absolutist assertions were spoonfed to him by a trusted website or subreddit. Sheeple

But, as President, there is no way he can attend these things without the massive security presence, and he still needs funds to run.
So how is he supposed to achieve that?
Seems like an unfair criticism, all Presidents of all parties will be in the same boat. (although perhaps not disrupting your commute!)Jon Miller: MikeH speaks the truth

I'm not against the tax payer paying when he's doing a legitimate job related task or a trip home for R&R. That's part of the job. But on this trip he never made it to his residence. It was straight to the fundraiser and then back out of dodge. It was noted as a birthday party which wouldn't have bothered me at all. (his 50th which would justify considerable hoopla) But in reality there were more supporters there than family/friends who were charged up to almost 40K to attend. This is what I have a problem with. If he's going to raise over a million dollars for his campaign fund, he should be footing the travel bills from his campaign fund and not having taxpayers pick up the tab.It's almost as if all his overconfident, absolutist assertions were spoonfed to him by a trusted website or subreddit.

So congressmen should be able to travel wherever they want on the taxpayer's dime for vacations disguised as business trips whenever they want because its a perk of being in congress? You have to draw the line between personal and business in every job. The president is no different.
I've seen estimates of anywhere between 60k-180k as the hourly operating cost for transporting the president aboard. This is not chump change. (but I did find it amusing that FOX news reported the highest cost after mentioning that Obama had spent more days out of Washington then any previous president)It's almost as if all his overconfident, absolutist assertions were spoonfed to him by a trusted website or subreddit.
