Now what kind of business only trip can this be when these two females boarded Air Force One for the trip to Africa? We have been wondering about the cost of this trip and I guess a couple more females not involved with the government might as well fly along. The best news about this trip is that Bo didn't make the cut for the trip. I wonder what kind of rifles the Secret Service had to take along in case wild animals attacked the family.

You all totally fail to understand. It continues to be my lot in life to explain things to you people.

Summer break school assignment- go to a foreign country at the expense of the tax payers.

Fall return to school written paper - what I did on my summer vacation at the expense of the tax payers.

Not too smart if he is still there. A feline would have left by now.

The question is "what kind of business?" The answer is obvious: Monkey Business.

The good news is that they are going to Africa.

The bad news is that they plan to return to the U.S.

I'd rather pay for their vacation in Africa than a war in Iraq...

Besides, it's not like private business leaders don't do the same thing ALL THE TIME... and it's not like you don't pay for THAT when you spend money on their services or products. And if you work for a corporation, chances are there is an effort to limit your pay so that the executives on top can take their families out on expensive vacations. In the end, it amounts to being the same thing... it's what executives do.

why would a business add their vacation expense to the cost of their product but taxes won't affect the cost libs are so inconsistent

Trash talk? I'm just stating the obvious. I'm not saying there's anything wrong with it. It's just business. I guess between us, I'm the one who understands business.

Fooloish? You mean foolish? Why? Is the private business anti-trash talk squad going to come out and zap me with high prices?

Dude... seriously? A business adds the cost of everything to the price of their product, unless they're complete idiots. When I was running my consulting firm in the 90's I had a client that I charged $1500/day for a month of service. That paid for the cost of my operation AND for my wife and I to take a nice vacation in Ireland. My client was happy to pay the price because I delivered what they needed and it was within their budget.

It's business - that's all I'm saying. Normal, everyday business. You guys are the ones all hot under the collar because the president is spending tax money on vacations - all I'm saying is that it's nothing out of the ordinary. What president doesn't spend tax money on vacations?
