Re: criticism over the Obama’s date night in NYC

joemuto:

“The minimum cost per trip to Crawford TX is $226,072. That’s just the estimated cost of flying Air Force One round trip - about two hours of flight time each way at $56,518 per hour. At a bare minimum, for the flights alone, Bush’s 77 vacation trips to Crawford cost us $226,072 per trip. That’s $17,407,544 so he could ride his bicycle in the woods and clear brush for the cameras.”

All the people whining about the Obama’s date night in New York City can shut the fuck up now.  You just got pwned, hard core.

Also, Rick Santorum needs to eat s**t and die (as in go away.  forever.)

Also also - interesting words from a Gawker commenter:

“no comparison here. bush was doing manly american stuff like cutting brush and wiping sweat off his furrowed brow and hitching up his wranglers. barry used our tax dollars to travel to the liberal east coast enclave known as jew york city, where he ate at some fancy arugula stand and saw some broadway show instead of going to the disney store and catching “terminator salvation”.

and in response to that:

“That’s exactly right. Number and logic don’t matter. George the Bush Clearer worked whenever he left the White House, whereas Obama (and Clinton before him) wasted taxpayer money on effeminate and vainglorious such as watching theater and getting fancy haircuts.”
