It costs more money to take Obama's Dog Bo out for a pee, and yet this is headline news on Yahoo.

A sum she has probably made for Alaska 100,000 times over.

Yet they are silent about Obama eating expensive wagyu beef in The White House.

How telling.

How much would it have cost Alaska in legal expenses from the bogus lawsuits if she had stayed?

Gotcha politics at its pettiest. Endless contrived ethics complaints and then complain when she collects money to defend against them. Run her out of office with them and then complain because her leaving cost money. Pathetic.

Well, sure....far better to save the $40k and spend MILLIONS on frivolous ethics charges! Yeah...I get it.

It is just UNREAL the crap that people come up with to smear someone that really should be an example to 90% of us.

Yes, but think how many hundred of thousands they saved from future trumped-up ethic complaints the Dems would have filed.

And exactly what did it cost for the inauguration of President Obama. Oh, that’s right we’re still paying.

$40,000 - yeah, one of the GM’s or Chrysler’s high-end we’re not buying.

$40, 000 - not a house!

$40,000 - President taking the wife out for a night in New York?

$40,000 - President having pizza, or rather the pizza maker, brought to the White House?

Cost of bailout? Cost of Dem Healthcare?

Guess Republican governors are just pikers!!!!
