NOT from Fox News

What is the rationale for such an expensive trip, particularly when the country's coffers are so depleted that we have to close the Whitehouse to tours??

Sorry to disappoint you, but I am far from uneducated. I have two college degrees, a retired banker, a Vietnam Era vet, and a registered Independent. You seem to believe that anyone who doesn't worship Rush Limbaugh and believe everything that Fox News broadcasts is a "lefty".
I notice that you still haven't cited a source for your ridiculous charge. Could it be that you don't have a source except for your own mind. I'm doing my best to refrain from name calling other than to say that you are a dangerous person.

To save money many non-essential military bases could be closed without jeopardizing our national security. The military is a welfare state in many cases. Gross waste for decades. If all those service men and women came home where would they find jobs? They would have to move to China.
Pay off the national debt. It may take decades but we must start NOW. The military waste elimination programs would help do that. Of course, none of this is going to happen because it wouldn't serve the politicians or big moneys needs.

Why don't you prove everything you say (you may be a highschool drop-out for all I know and maybe even a low-information voter). Besides that, you are going "mental" on us when you write things to me like, "You are a dangerous person." Pleaseeeeeee! I am dangerous like you are from another world. Oh. Well. Maybe I shouldn't use that comparison.

One problem I see is this leftist, rightest, liberal, conservative labeling. Solves nothing. Generalizations don't have much merit. Personally, I agree and disagree with both sides on certain issues. Call me middle of the road if you like, but I base my opinion on each individual issue not whether it falls into a certain political slant. Does his sound reasonable or am I just a pinko commie who believes that we all have a right to protect our home and family?

You need to excuse KW, he is after all a bankster, so with that background how could he ever see things as the rest of us do?

TheeGambler, you are always making scurrilous charges without any backup sources. Apparently, you believe only what you read in made up emails and extremist web sites. Why don't you ever cite your sources or do you make the lies up yourself ? It must be miserable to be filled with so much hatred.
Send me some cool air, KW. Hot as hell over here!! And while you're at it, giv'em hell!!

Why not lock the so-called first family in the White House. Then make the African trip, nothing more than life sized cardboard cutouts of the Obama's, with an extra large, everyone can read teleprompter? We would get a lot more bang for our bucks that way.
Son, do you realize how many trees you would have to lose to reproduce Michelle's butt in cardboard? He'll!! You'd have to clear cut the Blue Ridge mountains!!

Watch out there, Pee Can!! I was one'a them too. And KW was a very accomplished investment guru. Smart guy. And he will stand his ground, but he is also open minded and given to respecting others opinions. Now, he is allergic to stupid, but I admire that myself. I can coexist with guys like KW all day long. He is, in the final analysis, a reasonable nice fella. He is NOT your run of the mill blind faith boneheads that wake up with blinders on and follow the mouse and spout the liberal talking points all day long. He is a damn good man.

As with most liberals, you missed the point entirely. But to add to your argument, we don't need Michele Obama or Micheal Bloomberg telling us what we should or shouldn't eat.

Say wait a minute; maybe I mistakenly thought wrong of you. Maybe you are one of the good guys. Let me check.......... Oh no! I just remembered. You're the one who said I can't get to my weapon quick enough to do any good so I should just get rid of them. For a minute there I thought you were a person of intellect. Sorry, my mistake.
