Not saying that some of his spending thus far wasn't necessary, but when 10% of the country is out of work and you're taking your wife and daughters on an uber-high profile trip to places like the Taj-Mahal (during election week no less)... Well... kind of a poor decision IMO. For as good a game as he talks, dude is so out of touch.
During his campaign he talked about the need for America to "tighten their belts." Then he gets put into office and spends like a lunatic, all the while taking multiple lavish vacations while his wife becomes a fashion icon wearing $300 shoes planting her garden. Way to lead by example. His talk is outstanding. His leadership is shit.

The Obama's are self made millionaires, if she's wearing $300 shoes it's because she bought them with her hard earned money. And how come you never point out the good deeds Mrs. Obama and Jill Biden are doing for our service men and women?
I remember when he went to Chicago during one of the holidays and you threw a hissy about that. He went to accept the Nobel Prize for Peace, everyone was all up in arms about the nation is going through a tough time and he should send someone else to get it. Taxpayer's dime, blah, blah.
If Obama got pushed out of a moving car, you guys would want him impeached for J walking.
