Did any of you hear of the Clinton travel budget, nearing the billion dollar range. Lets start a debate, are these places clinton goes to visit really that important to us? The president goes around and waves and shakes hands, is he really there to work or to just show off? Couldn't diplomatic actions be taken care of via means of the internet or another form of communication?

All I can say is that the money spent on his travels can be put to better use! Do you really want your tax dollars going towards a presidential vacation? hell no!

Let me hear your opinions. Obviously this mainly concerns US citizens, but a forign look at the issues is always a good idea.

Thanks

Days

Sat down to think about my life passin by
So much i've done and have yet to try
But why am I here just waiting to die?
I can't complain about what lifes thrown my way
I'm thankful to be in this moment today
I've given nothing, for what I recieved
These days are more meaningful than I believed

I wouldn't mind seeing the budget for all these little get-togethers cut back extensively. For example, what good have really done in the Mid-East? They want to blow each other away, everybody else wants the oil. I don't see this situation changing any time soon.

Let's make the twit hitch-hike to wherever he wants to go, unless he can prove it's in the nation's best interests.

Before you know it the presidents will be blasting off to space to meet with alien leaders. Wave to the aliens, shake hands (hard job when aliens can have up to 22 arms), and give a good performance for the cameras. Why did he go... to discuss campaign contributions!

I guess thats what it will be coming to unless we speak out.

Don't you know that Billary and Hillary and their cronies pay first class fares when they travel on non-goverment business trips?

Or is that just another lie? Anyway I suppose they deduct that as a business expense.

I think it is high time these people stopped using Goverment aircraft and vehicles when on the campaign trail. That so-called first class fare doesn't pay the landing fee's for Air Force One or Two at these big air ports.

A letter to the Editor to your local newspaper, a letter to your Senator's amd Congressman do make a difference

SMILE IN THE FACE OF ADVERSITY

:D

...3 years later, we now have a president that goes on vacation more than he does real work.

Bush must be a liberal disguised in a stupid rebulican't suit

Or was Clinton a republican disguissed in a liberal suit ? Who know ? Anyways this tax payed voters roadshows should be limited, both parties need to establish upper ceilings for what can be spenden during campaign, the amount of television time and that primarely the sponsors should pay for it.....

I bet you could do some nice upgrading of the electricity infrastructure just from the money saved by limiting campaign..?

bush is either on vacation or campaigning for himself or his fellow republicans on tax payers money. everyday he is some place new raising money for some upcoming congressional seat. that isnt his job he should pay a little more attention to his job

...should be limited, both parties need to establish upper ceilings for what can be spenden during campaign,

McCain tried it. Most of congress felt it was unfair to them. :rolleyes:
