We complain, but it must really hurt when the poor president fills HIS tank.
I know, I hear a lot of people complaining that it costs 75 bucks to fill their SUV's but think of the poor president, how he must suffer when he pulls air force one over for a fill up. His eyes must really roll, and he must really be feeling it his pocketbook as he stands in the hot sun filling up his tank.

We should all really be ashamed of ourselves, and just think of the poor president at the pump.

12. I watched him say it live.
And of course he smirked real hard when he said it. It was stunning, to see him say those words, and grin, knowing full well that he knows full well what the gas prices are, it was just the most smart ass response he could dredge up out of his silver spoon mass murdering talk hole.

17. I didn't see it, but I can very easily imagine it.
I don't think it's possible for him to be more of a jerk than he already is. What a total asshole.

3. The US military uses 1,200,000 barrels of oil a month.
That has to hurt a bit, too.

5. Why? He isn't paying to fill his tank, we are
That comes out of taxpayer dollars.

6. I'd like to see the total bill for his travel expenses since 2000.
I'll bet he spends as much as the military does per month, just to jet around the world and embarrass the fuck out of us.

8. I bet Cheney spends more..
and all he does is jet around the country raising money for the GOOP and his cronies.

10. w got multiple b.j.'s in the oval office from jeff gannon but HE gets a pass.
There is no Clinton triviality that the g.o.p. can't morph into a constitutional crisis and impeachment, and there is no bush atrocity that they won't completely overlook and forgive, the fuckers.

15. I read somewhere that the number of vehicles that accompany him
was several hugh planes worth. They fly them every where he goes. hundreds of thousands of dollars for him to come to this area. screw him and them and all the white horses they all rode in on.

16. Not to mention that they have a nasty habit of not reimbursing places
for the security they provide.
