Obama’s Hawaii Trips Cost More Than Palin’s Clothes
By Ronald Kessler: Barack Obama’s trips to Hawaii on a chartered Boeing 757 each cost more than twice the price of Sarah Palin’s new clothes. Brad Blakeman, who was in charge of scheduling for President Bush, says a Boeing 757 costs about $20,000 an hour for fuel, crew, and maintenance. Since a trip to Hawaii entails 10 hours of flying time from Chicago, the total cost for each round-trip comes to about $400,000.Obama used the Boeing 757 for trips to Hawaii over the summer for a vacation and again last week to see his failing grandmother. Admirable though that visit was, “By Obama using a private jet to go on a purely personal visit to see his grandma, he’s wasting not only energy, but he’s using the money that his supporters have given him for campaign purposes,” Blakeman says. “It’s a purely personal visit paid for with campaign funds.” On the other hand, the media are highlighting the Republican National Committee’s purchase of $150,000 in clothes for Palin, even though the dresses will be donated to charities. The New York Times played the story on page one. . . . [Obama's Hawaii Trips Cost More Than Palin's Clothes]

The things Obama is telling everyone is one of the many things that are turning off Americans, including what he's now saying about his cultural background. He is NOT Hawaiian in the slightest. He is African-Arabian. We don't even have evidence that he was really born in Hawaii. We only have his Certficate of Live Birth. We DO NOT have his Birth Certificate. Obama campaign trolls on the internet shouldn't even try to joke about such matters of culture to Americans because they have no idea who it is you're trying to pretend to be, and rather pathetically so.
