I Am Disgusted

Thirteen year old’s boondoggle to Mexico with a dozen friends?

Why isn’t this all over the US press?

Wrong, wrong, wrong in oh so many ways.

1. Parenting
2. Abuse of power
3. Arrogance
4. Misuse of public funds
5. Using your own family for political purposes
6. She’s only 13, for Heaven’s sake

Those are just on the tip of my sputtering tongue.

And here’s a reminder, in case you’ve forgotten, who is paying for at least a good portion of this:

By law, the Secret Service is authorized to protect:

• The president, the vice president, (or other individuals next in order of succession to the Office of the President), the president-elect and vice president-elect,
• The immediate families of the above individuals, …

Twenty five agents, no less, plus their transportation, salary, food, lodging, etc, that is all guaranteed to be out of your and my pocket.

Even without asking who is paying the kiddie’s air, food, lodging and local travel, this is so …

I am speechless!

Argh!
