Dear Leader Obama says "Don't go to Las Vegas"......

Post by _bcspace »

...on the taxpayer dime:

(CNSNews.com) - Less than three weeks into his presidency Barack Obama warned executives of banks that had received federal bailout money that they better not take business trips to Las Vegas. Since then, Obama himself has made 9 trips Vegas—and is making a tenth today.

“You can't get corporate jets,” Obama said at a Feb. 9, 2009 townhall meeting in Elkhart, Ind. “You can't go take a trip to Las Vegas, or go down to the Super Bowl on the taxpayers' dime.”

Romney has the advantage of seeing close up how GA's manage to jet about on the tithe payers dime...
