so let me get this straight...

At a time when ordinary Americans, you know the ones that the president said would have to tighten their belts during this economic recession, are cutting family vacations and living month to month because they don't know whether they will have jobs, the Preisdent and his family decided to take a family vacation across the pond. Not only did the president and first lady travel in separate planes (I'm sure the environmentalists loved that) but the First Lady and daughters flew to London after a three day jaunt in Paris for some sightseeing while the president flew back to D.C. Again, seperate planes, not good for whole global warming thing. Of course this comes on the heels of the President keeping a "campaign promise" by taking his wife to New York for dinner and a play. I, along with millions other Americans can't find a job, but the president and his family get to have dates and family vacations on our dime, great, just great.
