How much should we pay for Presidential families to travel?

Moreover, yes, I am bitching about Obama. He is the one who claims people like me don't pay their fair share. He is the one igniting class warfare every chance he gets (and racial as well).

So yeah, I have a particular problem with his hypocrisy on this matter. The fact that you and Fred and the rest of the Obamabots don't have that same problem is kind of hypocritical yourselves... but then again, I'm not so sure you guys pay much in taxes.

How much should taxpayers pay for families of the President to take trips without him? I have no problems with the whole family taking trips and us picking up the tab but should we pay for them to go Europe, China, Aspen for the weekend without him?

I doubt any cultural exchange is a long term benefit. Trying to think of a time where the spouse of a foreign leader came to the United States and had any impact.

The link below gives you just the travel costs so we are not seeing the whole bill.

I don't get paid to travel, why should I pay for them?

Man you don't get paid vacation days? I'd find a new employer.
