The Commander-in-Chief just pissed off a bunch of Teabaggers with his speechifying

[jpak]

1. A one-two punch. Bam! Bam! n/t

2. We funded Dimson's plastic turkey photo op with our tax dollars.

Oh, & his "Top Gun" excursion in his flight suit, too! How much did the jet fuel cost for that ridiculous display?

3. I did see a recent estimate (don't know how accurate) of $124 million...

for W's* vacation travel.

Thing is, I can't help but feel it cost U.S. a lot less to have him on vacation for over 25% of his term than if he'd stayed in DC. A trillion here, a trillion there and soon, you're talking about real money.

4. The carrier stunt costed more than a million dollars.

That's not including the cost of flying to the west coast. It was just for keeping the ship out for a day longer than planned, and for flying the plane onto it. I never heard a peep from them about the cost of either that or the fake turkey photo-op. Or, his jaunt over to Beijing to spend a week at the Olympics, getting drunk and groping the female beach volleyball players.

5. The President is not the Commander-in-Chief of civilians.

It used to piss me off when people would militarize the Presidency when they referred to Bush as the Commander-in-Chief. Even though I couldn't stand the asshole and I never voted for him, because I am a U.S. citizen, he was still my President. But, given that I wasn't in the military (and have never been) Bush, not even in the remotest sense, was my Commander-in-Chief.
