" It's extremely expensive to keep your president flying"
"It's extremely expensive to keep your president" period!!!
He's your president , not mine.
Fly his ass to kenya one way drop off.
He is the welfare muslims president.
I Read that some former soviet countries have great deals on overstock surface to air missiles. Just saying.
Liberals see nothing wrong with this and keep electing their own to continue the same-ole same-ole.
8:16 just made the list....
The three states Obama hasn't visited: South Dakota, South Carolina and Utah. And for good reason.
South Dakota: Mount Rushmore - he knows that his presidency will never get his face carved in stone. Then again, he pretty much does what he wants so you never know... he might end up being the fifth face on Rushmore...
South Carolina: Hilton Head - perhaps his golf game hasn't evolved enough to hit some of the best links on the east coast. Or maybe he is saving the better golf outings for the end of his presidency. My best theory is that he is afraid to visit SC after Governor Nikki Haley called him a liar during a speech. Perhaps Haley even banned him from visiting SC (I like that theory the best)
Utah: Ass whoopin' - Obama may seem pretty dumb at times, but a smart man would not visit the state where he was outrageously and relentlessly destroyed in the 2012 election losing 3/4 of the votes to Romney. I would imagine that he is not much liked there.
Bottom line, it's political. He isn't going to visit states where he has no means of political advancement or persuasion and I don't blame him. His whole reign has been devoted to politicking and campaigning - not to running this country. He prefers the dog and pony show over solutions to real world problems.
Lesson to be learned here? Move to Utah, South Dakota or South Carolina if you want to keep this idiot out of your back yard!
Think they're hiding the extravagant cost of having Moochie Meals catered on board the plane.
