It was completely paid for by the taxpayers. He was holding a "town hall meeting" in California meaning he was on "official government business".
This is just another example of the hypocrisy that Obama and Congress are showing by complaining about AIG bonuses and the Big Three's use of private jets.
FEBRUARY: Please explain these "vacations" that Bush took. When Obama took a three day vacation in Chicago after only one month in office, the left said "it was a well deserved break" and " the president is never on vacation".
PAT: Obama and Congress were just railing AGI about bonuses. Most of the people got smaller bonuses than the trip to California cost. With today's technology, was it necessary to spend that kind of money for a town hall meeting. Wouldn't video conferencing be more cost effective in light of the trillions of dollars of new debt that has been racked up in the last couple months? When is Congress and the President going to be held accountable for the tax dollars they waste?
