Obama Bus Tour ~ Campaigning On Taxpayers' Dime!

President Obama took his Canadian manufactured bus tour through the Midwest, stopping in Minnesota, Iowa, and Illinois at taxpayers expense, touting it as a 'job creation' initiative. However, he spends more time campaigning than talking about jobs and has had plenty of time in Washington to come up with a plan.

Midwesterner's grew up amused by the Burma Shave signs that dotted the highways spelling out short messages like this one as you passed by them.

Supposedly Bush bought a bus from the same supplier in Canada but when we need jobs so desparately here it seems a bit foolish.

It's easier to go on vacation than it is to stay in Washington and come up with ANY type of 'plan'. Besides, that long bus trip tired him out and he couldn't sneak a few smokes without getting caught.

[carolinablew]

He's a two term president! What a stupid video.

@masterod1 Yeah, but in his defense, as the owner of two American car companies, he knows you can get a better cheaper car when its NOT built by UAW labor. I mean, the cost of sweeping the bus for pot seeds and roaches alone would have added thousands to the cost. And do you really want the president riding around in a bus build by a guy who just returned from a 3 bong-hit and 2 tallboy lunch?

'Elephant Crossing'! Oh boy, he's in trouble. :)

[masterod1]

Well, he's going on a ten day vacation to Martha's vineyard soon. $50,000 just to rent a few rooms. Per DAY! This is the fourth or fifth vacation in the past few weeks. the Boy has got to spend it while he can! ~I'm going back to my tent now~
