President Obama is in the middle of his latest bus tour, this time in North Carolina and Virginia. Simply ut, the trip is in violation of the law. It is illegal to use government funds for political purposes, but that is exactly what Obama is doing. Obama is out campaigning for re-election; if you have any doubt about this, I suggest that you watch the coverage of the trip. since this is a political trip, the costs of the trip should be underwritten by the president's re-election campaign. Instead, Obama is having the taxpayers pick up the cost of his campaign trip through these two important states. It is a disgrace, and it is a move that no president in modern times has ever done. Obama, however, does not seem to care about the requirements of the law; apparently, he thinks himself above the law.
If Obama wants to campaign rather than govern, that is his right. Running away from his responsibilities as president will not be good for the country, but the people can take it into consideration when they vote on his request for a second term. Stealing money from the public to underwrite the campaign, however, is not allowable. Obama needs to pay back the treasury for all the costs of this bus tour, the Magical Misery Tour-2.
