The latest example of Republican False Outrage is in response to The President of the United States and his wife having the gall to have a night out in New York City after 4 months in office. The bogus "uproar" from the right appears to center around the cost of transportation for the trip.In another case of Republican amnesia they have somehow forgotten that it was THEIR PRESIDENT who took 149 trips to Camp David for a total of 487 days. Bush also took 77 trips to his "ranch" in Crawford, Texas and spent all or part of 490 days there! Thar's a grand total of 977 days! How much do they think it costs to fly Air Force One from Washington D.C. to Texas? We're not talking about the "mini" Air Force One Obama took to New York, we're talking about the big dog.
This is just another case of "projection" from memory-challenged partisans in the Republican party. It reminds me of the outrage of the Tax Day Tea Protesters. It was THEIR PARTY that took budget surpluses and turned them into record budget deficits and created the worst economic crisis of my lifetime. And even more bizarre was the fact that 95% of people will experience a tax cut under Obama.

I agree. Give the guy a break. He works his ass off and is doing a great job so far. I think he deserves a date with his wife!
