I see that the conservatives are melting down over President Obama's golf weekend...

So for the lurkers and passersby; lest we forget:

* spent 77 trips to the Crawford pig ranch and 149 trips to Camp David; in all spending 490 days at the pig farm and 487 days at Camp David...

Has the CBO come up with a dollar figure for that yet...?

And thank you for the phrase "Pig ranch" - it's such an appropriate visual, especially when I imaging KKKarl Rove there.

Millions of dollars to fly him to the "pig farm", the waste of his higher education, and doing the unskilled workers out of a pay packet! The man had a heart of "gold." Mitt Romney was called out on his sense of entitlement but no one ever called out George W. for his blatant privileged life style at the taxpayer's expense.
