Do you think it is OK for the high up politicians to use our tax money to go on the campaign trail. Obama has stated on TV that he is now going on a bus tour for his campaign. We the tax payers are funding it. He also will not be working during much of this tour. The same with many of the other politicians. Personally I think they should punch a clock, get paid for when you work. OH I also posted a much less political version elsewhere and got spanked! Only real folks who care about this country and our future will read and be concerned.

I think if they are on the campaign trail the campaign should pay. Now if it is the pres I understand we will still have to foot the bill for security.

Thats my point, we are paying for everything! FOX said the other morning that most folks didn't know this and the tax payers should be pi$$ed.

We should not have to pay for the President's re-election campaign, or a whole lot of the parties he throws, the security I understand.
