Never heard much about Michelle Obama flying her own 757 to vacation so she can get there a day earlier than Obama.  So putting the hyporcisy and sudden fiscal conservativism of liberals aside, it is indeed disgraceful and one of many reasons why I am for limited federal government. 

There is something corrupting about government that causes people to lose all sense of fiscal restraint and why I believe we should shrink the size of government dramatically.  I would also be remiss if I didn't point out that these expenses, while outrageous, is a literal drop in the bucket when it comes to government spending.  We literally waste billions each year on welfare, medicade and social security fraud every year.  So if some politician were to have the courage to address the real issue of government profligacy and waste I would be more than happy to have them fly first class and buy expensive doors and dining sets.  They will have earned it!  But alas, given the current situation these guys deserve all the abuse they are getting. 

I just wish the media and liberals were as fiscally conservative when Obama added $9 trillion to our national debt in 8 years.  But given their lack of silence then and their whining about these pittances today leads me to believe this is all about politics and they could give a rats behind about government spending.  At little intellectual honesty and consistency would be nice but I long ago gave up on liberals having any sense of the irony of the positions they are taking today.
