The great thing about Trump is that he finds a way to go on the attack at the right time. It’s 0bama’s first campaign trip with Clinton, and he highlights the use of our money to finance Clinton’s campaign. So when jugears is talking on TV, everyone people will think “how much did this cost us?” Perfect.

Now to follow up their speech, he can attack 0bama for appearing with a person his DOJ is supposedly investigating, and call the investigation a whitewash.

Either way Clinton is completely damaged goods. If she does win it will mean our Country is just so off the rails we will have to start doing it by State.

Dad: "Huh. Wouldja look at that; Obama's campaigning for Hillary."

Son: "He's flying around in Air Force One; that's not right!"

Grandfather: "Whaddya mean? He's the President! He can do whatever he wants! Don't they teach you anything in that Christian School?"

"But, Grandpa, this is a clear conflict of interest! Besides, who's paying for the flights?"

Grandfather: "Bah! The President pays for it! It's in the Constitution - or something."

Son: "Air Force One is in the Constitution??!"

the campaign reimburses the white house. but I believe they are only charged for comparable tickets on a commercial flight, not the full cost of transportation and security.

That's my understanding.

But then the usual trick is to drop an official function in the trip and write it off.
Meeting with the Mayor to discuss terrorism, off street parking, whatever, and it's an official trip.

Last time I recall him in Raleigh he had a 34 vehicle support motorcade including an EMS truck. Shut all roads even remotely giving access to the airport for miles. Awful.

“Who’s paying for Obama’s political trips?”

Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell.

It would never happen now, but the next Congress should pass a law that forces the incumbent any president’s party to pay the full cost of political trips abord Air Force One.

I have been pissed about how Obama/Biden use Air Force 1 to fly to DEMOCRATIC FUNDRAISERS!

Biden flew to my city a few years ago to attend some DEMORat Party fundraiser at some rich person’s house. I went by the airport and saw a huge C5 transport and Biden’s jet sitting there at taxpayers expense. The C5 was for the armored cars, I presume. The freeway on-ramps were blocked to allow King Biden drive to his destination.

This is all at the expense of the American Taxpayer!! So Biden spent probably $1M to $3Million for travel so he could raise $1M for the DemoRat Party. This is taxpayer theft!!!
