[Conscience of a Conservative]

By the way, when did this start where Presidents had taxpayers pay for their hobbies? I remember a few years ago they had an ‘inside the White House’ thing on Travel (or some channel like that) and the WH chef stated that his services are paid by taxes only for official functions but Presidents are responsible to pay for personal meals, vacations, and entertainment on their own.

Of course, that was before Bo and Moo. That's still true today. Of course, taxpayers pay (and have historically paid) for AF1, secret service, and other related costs, which often dwarf the "vacation costs" that are billed to the President.

Bo and Moo. Love the names. Reminds me of a now defunct black owned Chicago food store by the name of Moo and Oink... Let’s see, the mooch can be the cow, and the bozo can be the pig, and they can carry on the tradition of Moo and Oink. You can take a cow and a pig out of the ghetto, but you can’t take the ghetto out of the cow and the pig in the White House.
