Obama and His NYC Trip

President Obama takes a trip and the right side the blogsphere goes nuts. While I am certainly not a defender of Obama, the shrill cries seem to be overdone.
Let's face it, if you are a federal politician, you get perks none of us would get. Nancy Pelosi uses a military jet to and from Washington. Legislators go on a ton of junkets paid for by you and me. Former preidents have gone to their ranches and beach front to get away from it all while in office and there was hardly a peep, except in GWB's cases- and that was because he spent a lot of time at the ranch.
So, if obama wants to get away once in awhile, I have no problem with that. If he makes a habit of it, then I will join the complainer's chours.
