Anonymous Coward User ID: 454845 United States 02/17/2009 05:05 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | you mean that one trip they took to chicago the other weekend? where else have his daughters traveled lately? oh, and you realize that every president has had a fleet of helicopters, right? the marine one fleet they have now is 30 years old, thus the upgrade. i agree that the cost is pretty outrageous, but don't act like obama's the first to have a helicopter. |

Awesome! Thanks for proving my point!!! BTW I think they should both be able to bring family with them at THEIR expense... just think the double standard is shameful.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 454845 United States 02/17/2009 08:06 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | maybe you missed just exactly what palin was doing (since the link in that one thread you found was no longer active). [link to abcnews.go.com] palin claimed they were on official business, even though they weren't always, which is how she got around the law about payment for expenses. if you want to compare that to obama taking his kids on a weekend vacation, you can try, but it doesn't work very well. |

THAT is why people were upset about palin's actions, not simply because she was taking her kids around with her, and NOT calling them vacations. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 616436 United States 02/17/2009 09:45 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Reminds me of about 2 weeks after Obama took office there was somebody here on GLP complaining that he finally stepped out of the White House and went to another state. How dare he travel on his plane when we have this economic problem. I guess he should be taking the bus. At least unlike Bush he's not traveling back and fort to camp david every weekend. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 616513 Canada 02/17/2009 10:25 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Its not like he pays for plane tickets for his daughters. Its his plane...if its empty or full its still flying him where he wants to go. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 395901It's NOT his plane. It's the peoples. We own it, we pay for it with our tax dollars. Yes his plane belongs to the Office of the President...as does his house and alot of items in it. My point was Palin paid for the tickets for her family to fly with her on a commercial airline...and then claimed it as an offical expense. If Obama is flying to Chicago and wants to take his family...well he's going there anyway...if they come with him or not. It doesn't cost us anything extra for them to travel with him. |

Dude, there are rules. The question is who broke the rules. People are right to bitch when that happens. And last I checked, travel rules for Governor of a State and President of the United States are just a tad different, here and there. Remember, she's the one who came to fame by selling a legally purchased but "wasteful" state airplane on eBay. |

How dare you say it doesn't cost anything extra? What's the COMBINE weight of his daughters? In all seriousness, some people are so childish. I just imagine a little kid's whinny boy when I read stuff like, "Oh yeah, it's not his plane,it's the people's plane." I never saw anyone complain about Bush going to Camp David every single weekend, and that just makes this complaining about Obama using the plane more childish. I don't even think he has a choice, he is the President, but I doubt he has the power to demand to fly commercial. These people are so creepy and they don't even know it. |

anonanon User ID: 254206 United States 02/18/2009 12:26 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I have no problem with the President's family traveling with him. The President, any President, is the President 24 hours a day. It is a job that really has no down time. Always on call. Clinton's daughter went all over the world with Hillary on her stand and wave tours that she later claimed were foreign policy experience. I don't think Palin was flying in a government plane nor were any members of her family. If it was paid for by campaign funds, then that is a decision made by the Republican party. She may yet turn out to be a force to reckon with. Maybe not as a Presidential candidate, but she could be a Senator and wrestle them all down to the ground. |
