A Spendthrift Squanderer

It appears that Congress has agreed to extend the payroll tax deductions for a short period. They wanted equal cuts in spending to off-set the loss in revenue. President Obama refused that plan. The media calls it a win for the White House. Thus, the deficit grows and the American citizens are the losers. Obama promised to cut the deficit in half during his first term. Instead he has grown it by four trillion. Yes, TRILLION. Does he care?  The cost of flying Air Force One is over 181 thousand dollars per hour. Not to mention the added costs of Marine One and the secret service crew. Obama used, and flew, AF1 at least 172 times in 2010. These were not always trips related to the presidency. Many were vacation larks and fund raisers for his next election. All at taxpayer expence and added to the deficit. His vacation in Hawaii cost over four million. Does he care? He has flown more trips than any other President. The nation struggles while he lives like a king on the taxpayers dime. He has had 90 golf outings. Does he care? And, why hasn't the media reported on these abuses? Do they care? We need to fix this in November and we better damn well do it. Or, there is no future forour children. -----------------Grandpa Gordon
