LTTE: Freeper type hopping mad!!!!1 that Obama is flying Air Force One to a fundraiser.
I assume Pauly was just as irritated about Bush climbing into Air Force One to go hither and thither to his "ranch" and various campaign events?? Oh, an note the final touch: it's OBAMA "getting us into a deficit".

======

I read in the Review-Journal that President Obama is coming to Nevada in May for a fundraiser for our wonderful Sen. Harry Reid ("Obama will visit LV for Reid benefit," April 1).

I assume he's taking a personal day and flying commercial (being the president of the United States, he should fly first class, and I know he can afford it).

I sure don't want to see my tax dollars being used to get Air Force One out of the hangar and fueled up for a flight that is purely self-serving to support his good friend, the Senate majority leader.

Nor do I want to see Sen. Reid re-elected, for that matter.

If President Obama can tell the heads of the auto industry not to fly in their own planes when their companies are in such dire financial straits, the same must surely apply to the leader of our country, with the enormongus (a new word, kind of like the one that will come after trillion) deficits he is getting us into.

Paul Harper

6. No doubt Mr. Harper is a local hero just for spelling real words correctly
and making full sentences. I am sure he is like a god in some circles right now.
Surprised he didn't suggest Obama put the national debt on the line at the crap table while he was in town.

10. my responce........to them.
Man I was hoping he would be going to Crawford to the "Pig Ranch " for vacation. How many trips did Bush make campaigning for the RNC or just taking vacations. Hell he even took the big plane out to go to his fathers birthday the week before he was booted out of the WH. I love the hypocrisy after 8 yrs of living large and spending the taxpayers dime you would complain. No wonder the Republican Party has the lowest numbers (27% approval rating) in years, its people like you that are responsible.
