He's not beating the record set by Bill Clinton though. No way Obama gets reelected. I don't understand why this surprises people though. Obama and Michelle know that they are not going to be in the White House so they are traveling as much as they can at your expense. They were both wealthy lawyers before and wanted to continue that lifestyle....on your dime though.

I'm torn on the issue.....

On the one hand the President of the United States is the President of the United States. When he travels he should reflect reflect the power of the United States.

But on the other hand the President we have now sure goes out of his way to bad mouth the power of the US - while enjoying some of the perks.

Exactly.

Dovetails with the confusion as to why he ran for POTUS if he doesn't like the Country.

And what is the costs for all presidents when you adjust for 2010 dollars vs (year) dollars vs the type of plane.

Not saying hs's not a tool, just wouldn't get too upset over the cost of the plane. There's more important things to get pissed about.
