Obama off on billion dollar vacation while America burns down

It made us laugh today when President Obama said that he took a “shellacking” in these midterm elections.  Actually, the president lost nothing personally except a bruised ego.  To the president the little people who lost their careers in the House and the Senate were the ones who lost. Ti him they are collateral damage just like Arizonans are collateral damage in the war on drug trafficking here in the state.

(IF YOU CANNOT SEE THE PICTURE TOP LEFT DOUBLE CLICK ON IT AND IT WILL ENLARGE)

President Obama has no regard for the little people otherwise called ordinary Americans. They have always been expendable.

The Sheriff’s departments in Arizona have had such severe cutbacks that they can no longer afford helicopters to surveil the counties they patrol.

Isn’t it amazing that the President has the budget to spend roughly $2 billion on his 10 day vacation to India? $2 billion would buy a lot of helicopter coverage and security woudn’t it? Somehow the money just isn’t there but if El Presidente needs to go on vacation $200 million a day is no problem.

“The unemployment rate in Phoenix is 18.5%.

The unemployment rate in Yuma, Arizona is 30.2%.

Just recently Michelle Obama went to Spain and spent $500,000 on a 4 day trip to Spain.

Against this backdrop u6 unemployment in the US is 18.7% according to the Bureau of Labor statistics. There are well over 41 million on food stamps. The poverty rate in the US is the highest it has been in 50 years. Nearly 15% of the American population cannot feed itself. Foreclosures are at record highs and increasing. You get the idea.

Would you think that Obama and wife would understand sensitivity?  Do you think they might empathize with the tens of millions of people who are being shredded by Obama ‘s ignorance? Not a chance.” More…

Of course for the Obamas it seems that they shop around for the most expensive of everything as the country goes down in flames.

“Obama to See India on $200 Million a Day

Seemingly every election day estimate predicting increasingly bad news for Democrats is met by an exponential rise in the cost to taxpayers for President Obama’s “I’m outta here” world tour. Coincidence? “ More…

    That's what, like 7 seconds in the search for WMDs in terms of cost lol. Bush took the most vacation days ever, but nothing said then. Consistency is dead.

    A 24 trip to discuss economic foregin relations sure doens't sound like a vacation to me. Reason bush didn't go on those trips is cause no foreign country wanted to talk to him.

    The funny thing about the liberal mindset is that it simply says something is not true with no sources backing it up. This comment is a case in point!.

    Liberals are emotional cripples.

    Wrong. The Obama's have already surpassed Bushes first three year total in days, and entire presidency in dollars...

    Wally. He is making a whopping 4 public appearances (less than an hour each) in the trip. He has stated that he scheduled the trip so he and Michelle could attend the festival of lights. And I am sure he (you and I) really needed to rent the entire Taj-Mahal for 3,000 guests for a party...... Everyone in my family could live like kings for a year on the food budget alone.

    He is spending my money like a drunken' sailor on beer and prostitutes.

    I cannot even afford to feed my family week to week and he's making it rain in every tax payers face and laughing as he tells anyone who questions him to "get in the back of the bus"......

    Obama is just trying to get everything out the presidency that he can. It shows real characte for him to throw this in our face.

    There's not going to be another black president for a long long time after this guy is done. He's setting the black race back 100's of years as far as leaders in this country go. And he's ruining America. Gotta be the worst President in the history of this country. Doesn't have a clue about anything.

    Ah how can I put this, fact checking an article is something best done before you publish, HINT just cause Rush or FOX says it's so does not make it true.
