Will someone have to be laid off from the networks to pay for the time? I heard no network talk about this, I did hear something of this on a talk radio show but not much else. This was in along with the quick trip to Indiana. Guess he is boosting the security agencies revenue, no wait its, the local government having to beef up the security, overtime, fire, police officers, along with the cost of the jet fuel etc. associated with the trip. Give me a break, stay in Washington where you belong.
