Presidents of both parties have always taken vacations and being a professor who works at a school, who gets part of its funding via government grants, probably thinks he deserves his. Teaching can be stressful. Time to recharge and spend time with family makes for a better teacher and a better president. The Obama's have quite a ways to go before they match the time and money Bush 43 spent on vacations. "President Bush took 149 trips to Camp David, 77 visits to his Crawford ranch, and 11 trips to his father's Kennebunkport mansion. Since Air Force One reportedly cost $56,800 per hour to operate in 2004 (which Bush used to get to Crawford), and the plane can travel up to 630 miles per hour, it cost at least $259,657 to get the 2,880 miles to Crawford and back, each time Bush went, or roughly $20 million dollars just for taking the plane on the Crawford trips alone. Add in the cost of putting up Secret Service and other staff for the ranch trips, as well as the Kennebunkport and Camp David trips, and you get, well, a lot."Franklinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11215959639217995111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1522121129844880066.post-30245571368455533902010-12-24T08:40:43.563-05:002010-12-24T08:40:43.563-05:00I could understand the outrage if she'd paid t...I could understand the outrage if she'd paid that to a private business, but being angry about this just doesn't make sense. The $63k is an estimate based on what the DOD charges other agencies for flight time - $6,300 per flight hour. However, the money (if even charged) simply goes from one federal coffer to another. The only true expense (that comes to mind anyway) is fuel. Anyone staffing the plane is military, so they're already getting paid whether flying or not, and they're presumably landing at a military base, so there's no additional expense there either. Aside from fuel costs, I simply can't see what else this hypothetically charged money would go to that doesn't keep it firmly within the federal coffers.<br />Honestly, there are _plenty_ of things to be mad about with this administration, but picking this seems misguided.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16199444592922928122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1522121129844880066.post-5094932253639687692010-12-24T07:26:01.438-05:002010-12-24T07:26:01.438-05:00Wait a minuet, she had to go first so Bo could get...Wait a minuet, she had to go first so Bo could get his papers checked and get through quarantine.
