ABC News points out that while Obama is calling for other people to sacrifice, he doesn't:
"America's CEOs are coming under fire these days not just for their hefty salaries but also for their use of private jets, limos with drivers and free trips to posh resorts.
But they aren't alone in living this lavish lifestyle -- the president of United States gets all these perks and more.
And unlike some of his Cabinet appointments, he doesn't have to pay taxes on these benefits."
Meanwhile, Obama is using the mega-expensive White House jet to fly 150 miles to a VA resort, where Dem Congressmen are meeting. In these times of "sacrifice", couldn't they have met in DC?
"Do as I say, not as I do" is the Obama administration's mantra.

This is just idiotic. Did you complain about the Republican retreat last weekend? The President has a very tough job to do, a lot of messes to clean up, and needs all of the tools available to do the job. Your post is unpatriotic; you apparently want him to fail

This was probably planned and paid for a year ago. Ever plan a wedding?
