Nope...Bush just cleared brush while over 4,000 American soldiers died in the battle to rid Iraq of WMD's. Guess I give a human life a higher value that a white house tour.

Wrong. You give Obama golf trips and countless family vacations a higher value than human life lost since Obama promised troop withdrawals from Afghanistan . . . . in 2009. Now Obama has drawn a line with Syria over the use of . . . wait for it . . . WMD's.
Yeah and the Bamster' couldn't be found the night a detachment of patriots defended a CIA facility in Benghazi..so whats your frigging patriotic point,Sir??

Hell, Bush had a ranch to go to, where Obama going to go back to Chicago for a couple drive bys and a pizza???
And Barry is only 4 years and maybe 90 or so days into his credit card run.....get back to me when the bill comes in.
I wonder...Bush made it to the ranch about once a month as President. Now that his home is in Dallas, does he still make that trip to Waco that often?

Obama drew a line...Bush played up a "mushroom cloud" over intelligence that was highly questionable and did more than draw a line...he committed troops. ANd yeah...Obama might have hogged the limelight after he gave the order to take out that bin laden guy, but he has yet to peek behind oval office curtains or behind a west wing sofa to try to find those elusive WMD's.

Doesn't matter whether it was 4 or 4000, if your going to cry negligence on Bush's part, I damn sure am going to do so concerning, BaRack and Hitlery.
Also, 2 of those four were NOT part of the armed services and never signed on the dotted line stating they were aware of possible death concerning their jobs !
And as far as I know those 4000 wern't abandoned, like the 4 were !

Another way to look at it would be one of the kids mexico trip last year cost us $115,500. Since the first lady and both kids are on this trip it can be assumed that the tab for the current bahamas trip will be a good bit more.
How many folks just got axed because of sequestration? The $115k would cover the yearly salary of about 2.8 junior tower controllers.
The $115k would run the whitehouse tours for 1.4 years.
Don't care who you are or what your political leanings are, there is no excuse for tax payer funded vacations for the first family(or former first families) when people are losing their jobs due to lack of money in the govt.
During sequestration the first family should be reduced to the basic security and funding for official presidential non vacation trips. No tax funded golf trips, no tax funded trips for Michelle and the kids to a Bahamas resort/casino. Hopefully she is not hitting the blackjack tables on the taxpayer dime.

Yes. And as leader of the Govt. body Obama should be setting the example. Instead his example is more of the same, screw the taxpayer and bring on the party.
