The First 2 Billion Presidential Election

lol Has there ever been a bigger waste of money? Spending on mailers that aren't read, political ads that aren't watched, and flying around the country multiple times a day to talk to the people who were already going to vote for you.

Seems to me that instead of spending all that money on advertising the candidate should offer to pay down the national debt with it. I'd vote for the candidate who did that.

I got a really cool DVD about Obama and his REAL father that I still need to watch. All the money's not wasted....

Per Federal law, any president that uses Air Force one to travel and stay at hotels etc, is required to pay back a portion of the cost. I don't care who the president is, or what party, but I would be curious to see how much the Democrats have paid back. The Air Force also had to pull 9 aircraft from Active Duty service to support the reelection campaign. I do not have a problem with this so long as the law is followed. The president is limited to how he can travel, since AF1 is a flying command post. He has to travel on it. Its the reimbursement that has to be done. If there is a official events mixed in with the campaigning then it is prorated for the campaigning portion only.

"If a Federal candidate travels on a government-owned aircraft, including Air Force One, for campaign purposes, then his campaign committee must reimburse the government for the cost of the travel" using a comparable aircraft rate, according to the Federal Election Commission.

I heard someone talking about that DVD when I was waiting to get into the Romney rally.

Was hearing a lot of juicy conspiracy stuff that evening like Obama's mom was a stripper, etc.

That Barack is gay, not that there is anything wrong with that.

Stimulus spending for the post office and MSM

All campaign donations should be the first thing to get a tax rate increase to 50% and really should be retroactive to at least 2008.

The only real winners of the two billion spent is the media.
