[George W. Bush]

Don't forget the tax payer paid vacation by Hitlery and Chelsea to Vietnam.

I thought they went to Africa and China but maybe you remember better. I think there was another trip too. They cost millions by the time they flew all the staff and Hillary gang on these excursions. In fact, there were many tens of millions spent flying the Clinton crowd around on stupid junkets. Over 8 years, it was probably in the hundreds of millions. Wasn't there one big trip the Clinton bunch took that cost taxpayers something like $20 - $30 million?

Bush doesn't take such jaunts. Nor do Laura and the twins. Nor do the Cheney's.

There's no basis for these articles. The Bush White House has faults but excessive travel and vacation time aren't justified.

Actually, Laura and one of the twins went to Europe. I think it was Barbara, and she wore a gene skirt to meet Queen Elizabeth.

Anyway, I think traveling is something the President has to do.
