What an effing hypocrite!

Just a day after introducing his plan to keep companies that take taxpayer dollars from funding things like Wells Fargo’s Las Vegas junket, The One is off on a junket of his own — to Kingsmill Spa & Resort in Williamsburg, VA.  The Democratic annual event burns through half a million TAXPAYER dollars each year it is held. 

The Washington Times breaks down the cost:

Chartered Amtrak train for all attendees except Obama: $70,000 (Obama will, of course, take Air Force One for the 150 mile trip)
Security helicopter to fly over the train: Unknown, but funded by taxpayers again
Food for the weekend (in 2003): $11,200
Entertainments for the weekend (in 2003):  $6,900
Having the press push for Wells Fargo to cancel their junket but not even ask press secretary Gibbs about Obama’s trip: Priceless
