Man, those goalposts have been MOVED!
It took him 3 posts to attack you?
ITL...cant stress more the positive merits of the "IGNORE FEATURE" .....Try it, you will like it. Does away with futile & frustrating conversation. I strongly recommend it.
Yeah, well, I know quite a bit about the IGNORE feature. I was a hearty proponent of it in the past. Some may remember...ha!
I only have two people in my killfile right now. One constantly lies about me and the other one is a voluminous poster of short misspelled sentences featuring lots of exclamation points, and terrible grammar.

Obama took lots of trips. Many, many people here on BB trashed him for doing so. But now that Trump is in office and is doing the same thing, but at a greatly increased rate, the same people that criticized Obama are now defending Trump. Weird, huh?
Oh, come on. This is true for every president.But, but, but then he cant play golf.....Gotta improve on those scores you know.
Many of us never complained about Obama's many vacations to Hawaii with huge overruns because the POTUS deserves it having the weight of the world on his back.
I defended Obama saying that even on vacation he had to work every day. Maybe not as much but whether in Hawaii or the White House he is the POTUS.
My complaint was when we were in crisis mode he still headed out to the golf course.

haven't done any research - but DC - Fla is what - 1,000 miles - but DC to Hawaii is about 4,000 miles......
Salty, but Obama did not fly to Hawaii every weekend. Trump has already spent almost as much is a month as Obama did his first year.
If in those eight years, if I find real evidence (and not fake news) that President Trump
is overspending the tax-payers dime for his trips domestically and abroad, trust me my
friend, I will be the first to jump all over him.

8 years....wow!
I wonders who da 2nd 1might bee!!!
I will bet you he never in 4 years goes to Camp David.
I don't blame him.
And it doesn't matter anyway because:
If he does go to Camp David the marxist press will still find something to whine about.

Do you consider Judicial Watch to be Fake News?
How much wasted cash did Obama and family spend. This is an assinine complaint.
At least twice, Obama's kids took their entire scholl class on trips with the family, on taxpayer dimes. So this complaint is one more "haters hate" being haters!
About $12 million a year.
If you say so. Trump has now spent as much money in one month for traveling as Obama averaged in a year for travel expenses. He's also played golf three weekends in a row. This sort of stuff used to incense people here on BB when Obama was President. Now pointing out the same activity is 'hate'.
I'd love to see a link to the story about the Obama's kid's entire school going on a taxpayer paid trip. You got a link?

Malia Obama’s Trip to Mexico: $115,500.87
Says that "up to 12 of her friends went along", but no one knows for sure.

So you prefer making it easy for them...I don't blame him.

Come on...that was spring brake....yay know, all kids do that now a days
Yeah, why would that cost so little? I just can't believe Air Force One is all that expensive to run - look at some of this other weirdness from the same site:
The Secret Service records for Obama’s October 2015 fundraising travel to San Diego reveal expenses totaling $180,187.09. Including the U.S. Air Force expenses, the total cost of Obama’s San Diego trip was at least $2,181,655.99
Why would that be less than going to Florida for the weekend?
Judicial Watch obtained records from the U.S. Air Force and the Secret Service revealing that Barack Obama’s trip to Cuba and Argentina in March 2016 cost taxpayers $7,146,015.18 in Secret Service and Air Force travel expenses.
So going way over there isn't even twice as much?
Judicial Watch also recently obtained records from the Air Force showing that in July 2016 taxpayers paid $360,236 for Hillary Clinton to accompany Obama on Air Force One for a campaign trip to North Carolina.
So it costs over a third of a million dollars just to transport Hillary? These numbers are whack.
