Any comparative numbers for a Bush trip?
Any president, regardless of party, will need several hundred rooms on an official trip. President’s personal group, whitehouse staff who must travel with him, military communications and U S Secret Service bare minimum is 100 rooms. Press can be 60 or more rooms depending on the news worthyness of the trip and then the city, county and state of official protocol people take more rooms.
That may well be true, but, that damn sure doesn't excuse the fact that these low-life users are trying to stay in every 5 star hotel they can apparently find...worldwide!
George W stayed at his ranch or the Bush Compound in Maine most all the time.
