I'm DYING to hear this math from anyone (SPENCE?) who defended his recent lollapaloozing.....
Did you actually read the article? It makes two pretty important points.

Point 1, that the hourly cost probably is higher not because Obama is spending more, but rather that previous estimates were inaccurate.

Point 2, that indeed Obama has set a new record for travel days overseas in his first two years...by (you didn't read it did you?) a staggering single day at 55 to 54 over GWB.

To reflect the goodwill of this holiday season, I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt and round the number up to 1 percent

God forbid the POTUS who inherited two wars, a terrible recession and generally speaking a lot of global discontent would spend some time on the road to further our interests.

1%!
