President Obama Asked About All Those Vacations, And He Doesn’t Have An Answer

St. Louis’s KMOV Larry Conners interviewed President Obama and asked him about all those vacations that he has been taking on the public dollar. Conners asked, “The economy is a big issue and concern for folks. I mean, the unemployment, trying to make ends meet, gas prices, food prices going up. Some of our viewers are complaining, they get frustrated, even angered, when they see the first family jetting around, different vacations and so forth, sometimes maybe they think under color of state business and that you’re out of touch, that you don’t really know what they’re experiencing right now.” At first Obama tried to side step the question and pretend those people didn’t really exist. Then he said in typical political fashion nothing, “but the fact of the matter is, I think if you look at my track record, I’m raising a family here. When we travel, we got to travel through Secret Service, and Air Force One, that’s not uh, that’s not my choice. I think most folks understand how hard I work and how hard this administration is working on behalf of the American people.” Conners later admits “the President side stepped that question. No one is questioning his need to travel on Air Force One or have security.” Conners should have added that the President is also campaigning on the taxpayers dollar.
