    Seems the only job Obama is really concerned about is his own. :puke:

    :spin: Spin, baby, spin!

    Well, well, well. I sure hope all those Palin-haters who started foaming at the mouth about HER bus tour (paid by her PAC) will be even MORE upset about this bus tour - paid by the taxpayers.

    Nice 'shared sacrifice' by Obama in this time of utter fiscal crisis!

    Maybe he can throw what remains of the American economy under his bus.

    That is great. Its one thing to pay for security, because all potus need it and have it, but to pay for the actual tour, come on now.

    Carney is a lying sack of (*)(*)(*)(*). We the American people are not dumb, we see right through this phoney crap. What he is basically saying is, "He is the president of the United States and can do what he wants and you can't do a (*)(*)(*)(*) thing about it."

    More info on the campaign bus tour we are funding for Obama:

    Why not? Afraid of Tea Party rallies along the route? Hmmm?

    Great! The country is borrowing 43 cents on every dollar we spend - and Obama's bus tour includes THREE buses...security, you know! :roll: And we add that to the tab for our kids & grandkids...

    Something tells me people will find out where he will be going and protest will ensue.

    I'm sorry, but I don't know of any other times that taxpayers funded campaign events such as a bus tour.

    Got any examples?

    You won't hear of any because they don't exist.

    Tea party activists confronted Barack Obama in Decorah, Iowa tonight during one of the stops on his Magical Misery Tour. The tea party activists asked Obama about Joe Biden’s comments that tea partiers were “terrorists.” Obama said it didn’t happen. :roll:

    Chris Matthews Isn’t Sure About Obama’s Bus Tour: ‘Doesn’t Seem To Be The Right Move’

    Ya think, Chrissy boy?

    No mention of how the taxpayers are paying for this campaign tour of Obama's...of course.

    Obama's 'blame it on everybody but me' campaign tour started yesterday. Here's his first 'it's not my fault' speech. Whatta loser.

    Even the NYT isn't covering for this naked grab of public funds for campaign purposes.

    Lead 'graph today:

    Pay up, dirtbag! Stop stealing my money, scum!

    Why would Obama put his bus tour above Grandpa and Grandma, who he couldn't say if they would have their check on the 3rd.

    Almost makes it look like he was lying about our financial troubles.
