Most of us will remember the excoriating remarks made by senators about the automaker CEOs coming to D.C. in their respective corporate jets. Yes, that was company bucks.

Most of us should remember Obama’s recent fulfilling his promise to his wife about a little soiree in NYC. Perhaps he paid the bill for the meals and theater, but there is a strange senatorial silence about the use of Air Force One to get there. That little caper cost at least $500K. Yes, that was taxpayer bucks.

Where’s the outrage? Or is it just the ingrained hypocrisy on the part of our faithful politicians that says it’s OK. Business as usual.
