the 2012 trivial drivel thread

[IMaDick]

was it really necessary that The President and the first lady travel at different times? separate flights separate security details and twice the cost to the tax payers.

I blame the Republicans in congress for that. If they'd passed the payroll tax bill earlier, the President and his wife could have traveled together.

Last I heard was that the President doesn't have a vote in congress, that's what the vice president does.

The first lady still could have waited for her husband don't you think?

or is that not what most people do especially in this economy?

If they wanted to pick up the 4 million dollar tab they can do whatever they want to, but when they use tax payer money they should stand accountable.
