Greyhound One

Apparently a $1,000,000,000 war chest is not enough to run The Barry's 2012 reelection campaign.  Now U.S. taxpayer schlubs are being hit up for another 5 or 6 million dollars to pay for a three-day Presidential "listening" bus tour in Midwestern swing states.  The buses being used for this tour have been tagged Greyhound One (and Two?) and were bought by the Secret Service at a cost of at least $1.5 million apiece.  Mitt Romney calls this boondoggle a "Magical Mystery Tour"  (see Mitt Romney).  These vehicles together with first-class hotel accommodations (see Lucianne Dubs) and a retinue of SUVs should bring the total cost of this obvious campaign tour to at least $5 million.

Avi Nelson, a radio talk show host here in Boston, this afternoon assumingly described this trip as being paid for by the Democrat National Committee.  He was wrong.  It is being paid for by us, the ever-suffering nudnick taxpayers.  But now that the federal debt-ceiling has been raised, our government checks should clear.
