They're now attacking the President for Security overseas
I've never heard anyone question the cost of previous presidents' trips overseas.

I can't take the hate or the racism.

I'm watching Gibbs on CSpan1

1. Were you interested in Politics when Clinton was President?
If not, you ain't seen nothing yet.

Wait until the Subpoena his Christmas Card List, and claim he got a haircut and stopped traffic at LAX, and claim Obama had a close friend murdered, or...

2. Faux News wouldn't be in business now if wasn't for Bill Clinton.
Making up shit about him is what set them apart.

4. They lied about everything...
They created an entire industry to create false stories, (the LAX haircut story never happened). They will create false stories about anythng they can to weaken the President until a Republican comes into office.

The accused Clinton of wagging the dog, of lying to go to war for political purposes. This shit is SOP for Republicans because for them Politics is War.

5. There have been a couple of negative threads about this
trip here on DU, too. So it's not just the right. As if Presidents don't need to travel to visit our economic partners/competitors. Even Nixon went to China, as I remember. Every President has traveled to other countries. Bush didn't like to, though. He's more comfortable in just one other country: Texas.

6. Hang on to your hat-- this is just the warm-up.
They will use ANY pretext to bash a Democratic President, especially Obama, given his ethnic heritage.
