More disgusting abuses of power

Did you know that Bush (and our REAL presidents also) pays almost nothing for all the traveling they do during campaigning? The opposing party has to pay for everything they use (or they're supposed to) but the 'President' can declare a trip Official Business and they don't pay a thing. Even if they do pay (big laugh), it's a paltry sum compared to the costs.

There a bit of information about this at John Kerry's website - but know that there's probably some spin on it, even with the references.

FederalNewsRadio has also written about this topic.

To be fair, all the presidents who have had access to Air Force One (and other travel perks) have used it for campaigning. Apparently, Clinton was not shy about using the jet either. However, Bush is already outstripping Clinton's usage and I've yet to hear much mainstream media coverage about this egregious waste of taxpayer dollars. Just another shameful and unethical expenditure that no one's talking about.
