I don't know why so many people compare Obama to Bush. That's like saying..."Johnny shot that guy with a .45 caliber handgun...but Davey shot another guy with a machine gun so Davey sucks and it's all Davey's fault!"

You see...you don't compare wrongs and choose which one is less wrong and be happy with it. You point out that there are wrongs happening and you stand up against it, you point it out. Nobody is arguing that Bush took more vacations or not...we're pointing out that the Obamas are living an EXTREMELY lavish lifestyle, on government resources!

If you haven't watched the HBO miniseries "John Adams" I highly suggest that you do. The idea of a secret service or security protection was nonexistant. Now, I know those were different days but...John Adams was expressly against use of government funds for the betterment or furthering of a political figure.

That's the way it should still be! I understand protection, I'm a former military guy, I've worked in law enforcement and in the Mayor's office. I understand. However...abusing that contingency is just wrong...just plain wrong! Look at what Obama did when he went to India! 200 million on one trip? And that didn't include taking a 1/6th of the entire Navy with him!!!
