More empty symbolism from Obama. He gives back five percent of four hundred thousand, or twenty thousand dollars. Good. But if he used Air force one 10% less, he would save the government $179,000 each time. So ten times equals 1 million 700 thousand which could be used to pay peoples salary. The President doesn’t pay for anything, not food, or shelter, heat, light, water, lawn, repairs, phone, TV, travel. All are 100 % paid for by the taxes of the same workers he is claiming to favor. Even Obama’s lavish White House parties and hollywood studed extravaganzas are paid for by the taxes of the people. Stop the lavish parties, I don’t mean State dinners which are a requirement of the office of President. I mean the very expensive lavish and extravangant weekly private parties for his friends and political supporters. Then cut all use of Air force one when used for political speeches and political Democrat fund raising and campaigning. I guess, that would probably save tens of millions, all of which could be directed to funding the salaries of the federal workers he so publically supports. But then, it seems, Americans and the media are more impressed with Obama’s drama instead of his actual accomplishments. Its all style over substance.
