George W. Bush aka King George Is The BIGGEST CROOK That Ever Stole An Election!
It's Because Of George W. Bush That President Obama Is In Office Today! HOPE AND CHANGE Was All The American People Had After Bush And The Cheney Gang Roved This Country BLIND!
Not Only Did Bush Take Trips, But He Took This Country On The Road To Financial Ruin!
As For The Armored Car...Obama Is The First Black President Of The United States...Lets Be Real... You And I Both Know That He Should Be Driving Around In A Tank!

The president and his wife have spent millions and millions and millions on their VACATIONS. Not only that, please, they don't need to take Mrs. Robinson, Michelle's niece and nephew. He touts we need to raise taxes. RAISE TAXES FOR YOUR VACATIONS? I don't think so. The American public has seen thru your lie of hope and change the only hope and change anyone got was increasing you and YOUR FAMILIES STANDARD OF LIVING at the expense of the american people. For all of you libs, take a look at how much this president has spent compared to the Bushes. President Bush went to the Crawford Ranch alot. I saw him a few times with suburbans for security but I never saw him in a armored extended cadillac with an entourage of cars in a motorcade. This guy has no class what so ever. I am actually embarrassed of them.

As A Native From Northern Virginia I Looked Forward To Taking My 12 Year Old Daughter To Earth Day On The Mall In Washington, DC., But THEY CANCELED THE SPEAKERS AND THE BANDS!
I Wanted To Take Her To The 2011 Earth Day Event To Get Her Involved With The Environmental Movement, Because Future Of This Country Will Be Passed Down To Her! I Needed Her To Hear These Inspirational Speeches, Great Music And See All The People Who Care About The Environment, So She Can Get Involved!
The 2011 Earth Day Events Were Silenced For The First Time, Since Senator Gaylord Nielson Of Wisconsin Started Earth Day On April 22, 1970!
I Wanted To Take This Opportunity To Educate My Daughter On The Enirvornmental Issues That Effect Us Today And Tomorrow, Instead You Had Arts And Crafts On The Mall For Earth Day!
Next Year For Earth Day Instead Of Silencing The Speakers And The Bands, For Fear Someone May Tell The Truth About Your Environmental Policies That Doesn't Exist!
Mr. President Just Continue With Your Environmental Agenda Which Is, SEE NO EVIL, HEAR NO EVIL AND SPEAK NO EVIL! Continue To Turn Your Back Mr. President On The Environmentalist Movement, While Corporate America Cuts Down All The Trees, Blows Up All Of Our Mountain Tops, Poisons The Land The Air And The Sea...
It's Business As Usual, Don't Act Like Your Environmentalist When You Allow Big Business To Rape And Pillage The Land For Their Own Self Gain!
For The Record If You Poison The Land, The Air And The Sea, You Will Poison Mankind And The Most Deadliest Pollutant Will Be GREED!
With All The Enviornmental Laws That Were Broken While G.W. Bush Was In Office, The White House Never Silenced The Speakers Or The Bands On Earth Day!
WOW!
My The Hope For Change Ended Up Being A JOKE, And Their Is Nothing Funny About That!

Seriously people, stop talking about Bush everytime someone says something bad about Obama. Let's focus on the "current" president that is destroying America.

This is the worst article I have read in a long time. Yes, Obama traveled for 3 days for fund raising, but who was complaining when Bush was taking all those vacations to Texas? How do you think he got there? How about when Bush was fundraising himself? He sure didn't ride around in a Prius, take a bus, or even walk. The fact is, it takes a lot to move the president around, not just this one, but ANY president.
Being the President of the United States carries a heavy price, and one of those is having enemies, both foreign and domestic, that want to not only end your term, but end your life. It takes an armored limo to protect them from the overly righteous right wing nuts out there, and all that extra HEAVY armor tends to decrease the gas mileage of any vehicle, even a Prius; and seriously, how did you expect him to get to all of those places, so far away from the White House? The last time I checked, teleportation was still science fiction folks. Get a grasp on reality and quit trying to live in your perfect little bubble, or the world is going to pass you by and not even care who you are.

What a stupid comment . The only way a company can "take a vehicle in on trade", is if they are able to resell it to someone else. Thats a solution? What does that solve?

You need to stay home Obama---we can't afford you anymore!

Apparently, we are supposed to sacrifice; Obama only "shares." He has no time for "small" people, apparently.
This guy needs to be expatriated to some Islamic Paradise where he can "relate." And sooner is better than later.

I know that the costs of Obama's travels sound outrageous, but every President has done this since colonial days! He deserves the protection these vehicles give him. With so many nuts out there he has to do this. If you must complain about the costs associated with this, complain about our Congress who has some of the highest expenses and they can't even agree on a budget! They are much more of a burden to our economic well being than just Obama.

Question: Should this president be fund raising on the Taxpayer dime? Well, that is exactly what he did this week. He is guilty of fraud, waste, and abuse for using Air Force One, and all the other trappings of his office, such as the cost of his meals, his secret service, the fuel for the aircraft, the motorcade etc. for his personal fund raising. And that my friends is exactly what this whole trip amounts to. This is illegal. If any other government civil servant (and that is what he is) used their government credit card to take a jaunt to do personal business; they would be fined, charged with FWA, and fired.
I protest, as should you!
