For a guy who says he respects the working folks and first responders, he sure doesn't walk the walk.

Towns need to treat the Obama campaign like a company on Credit Watch - cash in advance.

[Venturer]

The Government will end up payingthe tab, like we pay the tab for Air Force One ,and Wide Load One ,when the Obama’s are off campaigning in their separate planes, or off to California to visit Jay Leno.

Politicians who campaign need to pay all the associated costs of their campaigning and not taxpayers.

Ever wonder why a politician who decides to run for another office, doesn’t first submit a resignation from the taxpayer dole the moment they start to re-politic-ing instead of doing their paid job of serving the people?

A person who works in the private sector must resign to seek a new job outside his primary employer. Why aren’t pols required to do likewise?

[I still care]

There aren’t any working folks in Westport, doncha know.

There are only evil rich people, who deserve to lose money, as far as the DNC is concerned. Rich people are their useful idiots.

[SueRae]

Why don’t the uber 1%’ers that hosted his campaing bash pony up? Heck, most of that town probably voted for the jerk anyway,

[Baynative]

He's showing the nation how he thinks about the national budget in the way he manages his own campaign. He is spending far more than he is taking in and he is skipping out on bills, expecting others to take up the slack for him or just do without so he can keep on.

This is something the RNC should be talking about and making the media look at.

“Wide Load One”...

LOL LOL... good one.

[vette6387]

And nevertheless, Westport will vote overwhelmingly for the RATS while they go about polishing their vintage cars and playing golf! Go Figure!

[piytar]

Anyone who doesn’t demand payment from these leeches up front deserves to get ripped off at this point...

[TexasCajun]

As if anyone should be surprised, Team Obama is running a campaign deficit.

President Obama and the Democrats raised $75 million in July according to Federal Election Commission reports filed . President Obama’s campaign and the DNC spent $91 million in July. President Obama and Democrats spent $16 million more in July than took in.

[freeangel]

I sure hope the rest of the towns sit up and take notice. Surely there is nothing that say that they must protect this pos.

[BipolarBob]

As soon as they show up, ask where’s the cash in advance. They no got it, the overtime people go home.

[BillyBonebrake]

Westport = limousine liberals. They can bend over and take it. I’ll gladly watch

Just once I would like to see a town demand cash in advance, and decline to provide security assistance if the cash isn't handed over.

[wrencher]

Liberals stiffed by liberals? Thanks for making my day brighter.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Typical commie ‘RATS. Hooked on OPM.

[nothingnew]

There's a sucker born every minute.

Ummmmm.. no. I have NEVER quit a job before accepting another if I was shopping for a better job. I am just very quit about it at the current work place. Now my boss would know the minute I pick up the want ads. I would not fire myself however.

I do agree. Elected idiots should step down first. that is a completely different animal than job shopping.
