72 million in one trip is certainly more than 7 million for 50 trips. Do the math.


How many countries did Clinton go to? When presidents go overseas they require support. This includes presidential choppers, limo's, and all the secret service people and equipment.

I said it was bad to spend so much blatantly. It is a double standard. Ohhh clinton spend so much on trips to actually improve America's image in the world, ohhh he so evil.

That 7 million btw is just AirForceOne Per hour operating costs. I am sure your 72 million figure includes everything.

Ya, he improved it so much, it inspired attacks on the Cole, and eventually attacks on the TWC. China loves us so much they've stopped building nukes, sure, you bet, our image sure did get improved! I bet the relatives of employees at the aspirin factory in North Africa sure love America!  NK loved Clinton! He built them a reactor!

LMAO, so naive. Its simply pure entertainment. Thanks! :rofl

I see nothing much changes around here.

I say let dear leader enjoy his crawford pig ranch as much as he wants.  

Better there with his jack daniels and pretzels than in DC where he could do some real damage hehe.  Unless of course he falls off his bike again.  

Of course maybe we should raise the terror alert, with bush taking off the month of August and poll numbers down - sorta seems familiar . . .

on edit - is everything STILL Clinton's fault?

simple question. Is our image better then or now?

I notice china still builds nukes, Terrorists are attacking all over the globe now, not just in yemen, North Korea could give a rat's *#% what we think.

On the entertainment, my pleasure:) It has been more interesting around here lately except for the occasional cheap shot, which I really don't even mind, and  I do enjoy the debates and discussing things with you guys. Take it easy gotta go to my bowling league gents

I don't recall where the rules say "if elected all politicians" must stay in DC on the job."
 
And what of the trips to Texas where he meets with foreign leaders? You count those against him too as "not working"? How many corporate deals get done on golf courses instead of formal offices? I can see where the Texas ranch provides a better atmosphere for meeting foreign heads of State.

As for how much money he spent, I'd prefer he spent less. How much less? Some. Do I think he should never go back to Texas? Nah, he can go back once in a while just for fun. All the President's in my lifetime that had a decent place to go to did that.

Cripes, Wasington suxxors. I don't blame ANY of them for wanting to be somewhere else. Bill Clinton made 133 visits to foreign nations, a Presidential record. That breaks down into an average of 16.6 nations visited per year, another Presidential record. We can probably extrapolate that he spent more than any other President traveling too.

I don't blame Bill though; he only had Arkansas to go to. No wonder he traveled more around the world than any other President.

And guess what... I'm not all het up and outraged about Bill's travel either.

  I want to see your info on how many trips hes taken,not including visits from heads of state because all I see is a Bush basher making up unsubstantiated lies and carrying on the nit picking to an absurb level.
 Yup,3.5 more years.When will the Dems be able to put someone up that doesnt make this clown look like a genius?
