OK so he has a $110,000/year sinewy “body man” (the actual position title) who is with him ALWAYS, on EVERY TRIP for WHO KNOWS WHAT PURPOSE....

and now he flies some other bro out to DC four times per week to “work out with him”...

Have I got that right?

GAY AS HELL

You know McClellan isn’t flying coach on his weekly visits, and the round-trip business class on Delta is $1,600 to $2,200.

Once you factor in the guy’s fee and per diem, the Obama’s are spending $5,000 to $6,000 per week, or $250,000 to $300,000 per year, on a personal trainer.

That’s your money.

WIKIPEDIA_
The president earns a $400,000 annual salary, along with a $50,000 annual expense account, a $100,000 non-taxable travel account and $19,000 for entertainment.[36][37

The Obama's go way beyond the official numbers above. They blew their $19,000 for entertainment just on last weeks Motown shindig at the White House

So much for transparency! The bowing one is a lot of things but a leader he is not.

Am I the only one who hears Sir Mix A Lot's 'Baby Got Back' playing in the recesses of my mind? I think MooChelle is flying in a toy for her weekly pleasure.

It's from a NY Times article (here is a funny excerpt):

The president and the first lady are the star students — eager, dedicated, with the toned limbs to prove it.

Spare no expense — to the TAXPAYERS!!!!! :(
Recall during the campaign how they made such a big deal that they were “just normal” people—He wore off rack suit and she wore JC Crew; bought IKEA furniture, etc. Guess some of us “normal people” have weathered the recession quite well. However with her high calorie governor’s dinner last nite (2,200 calories for dinner?!?!) and her 1,500 calorie ribs in Vail, she needs to do something.

This is nothing new... Many in government live like royalty and kings, then retire on lottery style government pensions...
