Don't you have anything better to do than yap at the
President's ankles like a little, deranged chihuahua ?

Ken, I gotta tell you, if the 200 mil a day figure is remotely close to the
actual cost, I do not consider it "yap(ping) at the President's ankles," and I
do not believe for a second that if this were Bush (or any other Republican)
that you would consider it any less than what it would be, if true - a
disgusting thing.



Good grief.

You got that right,

Don't recalls that it ever came up. Seemed that Bush had the exact
opposite problem (ie not getting around much/running to ground). Where
did he go? At least once to Iraq, maybe Europe (?) but where else?

Just Crawford, Whataburger, and Toys-R-Us - now there is a President who knows
how to keep travel costs down...

As
I remember it, one of my personal gripes about the man was that he was
even less traveled than I am,

Ah, well, see, that there is your problem - "As I remember it..."

and didn't seem interested in the world much.

Eh, screw the world, he was the friggin' President of the United States...

I have the same gripe about most politicians. Nixon, Clinton and
Kennedy were the most "worldee" so far IMHO.

Well, let's be fair - Boeing was kinda late delivering George Washington's 747
to him...and why, shoot, a whole bunch of them early dudes weren't even born in
the US...how "worldee" is THAT...

There is something to be
said for study and preparation over improvisation.

There is something to be said for a double-scoop cone of braunschweiger ice
cream dipped in broccoli-flavored caramel and rolled in used cat litter, too...

HTH,
