We tend to ignore what our politicians are spending money on, as long as we see them working. We don't tend to think about ways that they should be saving money.<BR/>I agree with you, though. He is being very wasteful, especially in this age of more efficient communications via phone/computer/fax/video etc.<BR/><BR/>Good call.<BR/>~LisaLaughing Orca Ranchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03562627840013868980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-501080142592573391.post-6147027503532576152009-02-19T20:48:00.000-05:002009-02-19T20:48:00.000-05:00It seems to me that the president is trying to pul...It seems to me that the president is trying to pull the country together by letting diverse areas get to see him in person during this very trying economic time.<BR/><BR/>I think Pres. Obama is attempting to educate the American people about the realities of our present economic situation. It's really a bad situation. <BR/><BR/>His approach is a little different from Roosevelt's "Fireside talks" on the radio. (Though that might not be a bad idea- either radio and/or TV talks of reassurance and explanation.)<BR/><BR/>I think we are all very concerned and a bit frightened by the turn of events this past year. I hope we get through this period OK.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-501080142592573391.post-36536697033179490032009-02-19T16:21:00.000-05:002009-02-19T16:21:00.000-05:00I've heard a lot of comments about our president's...I've heard a lot of comments about our president's travels. The criticisms seem valid, but at the same time, he sure brings a good feeling, much needed uplifting of spirit, and an energy that probably wouldn't get across to the people via the television screen.<BR/>I've done my travels, too, as I promised myself, and I was out WALKING first thing this morning. I feel more energetic!<BR/>ms/sssAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
