'President Obama can be seen through the windshield of his tour bus making its way through Harmony in southern Minnesota as bystanders wave to him.'

Add Donald Trump to the list of people that seem to have doubts about President Obama’s national tour. Speaking from his office with Greta van Susteren today, Trump argued that the President takes “more vacations than any human being I’ve ever seen” and that his “fundraising tour” should not fall into the hands of taxpayers, citing a lack of leadership on his part. Trump and Van Susteren went through a long list of topics– from China and OPEC to Sarah Palin and Rep. Michele Bachmann– but began with the President’s tour. The August vacation, separately, Trump argued “sends a very, very bad message,” but shrugged that President Obama “likes vacation” and won’t be stopped from taking one. He then turned to the actual tour, which he believed was part of his campaigning and not something the President was doing in his executive capacity. “Why isn’t his campaign paying for this, he argued,” noting that he was traveling on a bus and “the most expensive airplane you can fly” on the Taxpayers’ dime. He gave President Obama one compliment: “he’s a good campaigner– not a great campaigner, but a good campaigner.”
Van Susteren then turned to foreign policy, where Trump railed that the United States “were like patsies… the world is taking advantage of the United States” and cited the worst abuser as China, though added Colombia and a number of other countries to that list. He also had some words about Palin and Rep. Bachmann; asked to compare the two, he declined, but argued they were similar in the challenges they faced as conservative women. He also said he liked them both very much, had no idea whether Palin was running (the “famous pizza incident” did nothing to help him figure that out, he explained), and had yet to pick a candidate in the Republican race.

“more vacations than any human being I’ve ever seen” /
LOL Right to the heart of the matter. Odummys residency has been one long vacation, and if he receives any money while on his “campaign tour”. I say we bill the freeloader for gas and other expenses. Didn’t he say we ALL have to have skin in the game. It only applies to the unwashed masses.
i would say I hope his tires go flat but we would just have to pay for that too!
Let me be the 1st to tell you Captain Zero, IT IS OVER. YOU ARE GONZO.
Remember when Palin scratched her ear, and they sued b/c she was wearing “campaign-paid nail polish” on the finger that scratched the ear?
Why isn’t the GOP going nuts over this Moslem breaking campaign finance laws??
Next, Omoslem will be riding a pack of taxpayer-funded camels, carried town-to-town on an acre-wide taxpayer-funded magic carpet.
Imam 0bama oughtta run in Mecca.
Or Tehran.
That’s the only place he can win.
Americans know they’re looking at Captain Jihad.
lol.
He says "it's not the political season" but he's attacking the GOP presidential candidates! How is that anything but campaigning?
People may not want Trump as President, but he sure knows how to rattle Obummer’s cage! His fame & wealth do serve a good purpose in this country!
Just curious: How much did you fork out for your kids’ college educations and do they have good jobs now so they can pay you back?

Believe me, there are more Americans like you than are not.
Replicans should hit him hard on the vacations and golf. If he wants class warfare, we can give. It to him in buckets by pointing out his excesses.
The republicns are foolish and McCain like if the don’t wear this issue out. I sure would like a good vacation.
