I have a question regarding shrub and all the fund raising he seems
to do...

Who pays for junior pissypants to fly all over the country raising money for these rethugs?? I am afraid that I know the answer already, but I wanted to ask anyway.

If our tax dollars are paying for his travel, shouldn't the democrats receive the same amount of money for campaigns?

6. $56800-per-hour the Air Force estimates it costs to run Air Force One.
According to USA Today.

3. Yep! And we ALL pay for it!
:banghead: They'd fry a Democratic President for this! Remember the outrage over Clinton holding up flights at LAX for a haircut? Which was a lie, of course. D'oh!

5. We do, the LOWLY MIDDLE CLASS

pays for that asshole to fly all over the world

I used to live near Andrews AFB, where Air Force One resides, those engines run 24/7

What a waste of jet fuel

Maybe that plane will run out of fuel in transit

4. All the Presidents do it
The President does not fly commercial flights. Can't bitch about this one. Just cannot. It's all our taxpayer dollars. Just like the "Faith Based Initiatives" and Executive Orders. No bitching allowed.

Not sure if that's sarcasm or not.
