President Obama over the past few weeks have chastised large corporations for using private corporate jets for travel to Washington D.C, as well as AIG and Wells Fargo as well as others for there spending practices. But when it comes to our Representatives in the House and Congress you can hear nothing from the almighty Obama.

Speaker Nancy Pelosi, and her husband with 7 other Democrats have left Washington D.C after voting in that great spending bill and have taken off to Italy in a Military Chartered Jet at a cost of $10,000 per hour, with a total fly time of 20 hours. While in Italy the speaker has visited sites like museums and has gone to several receptions.

While all of this is going on President Obama is working hard traveling from city to city to tell the American people to buckle down and prepare for tough times as the economy goes further into decline. This comes at a time when Americans are struggling to pay their bills and are cutting back their own personal expenses.

Here's another one, Andrew Young and Martian Luther King the 3rd with 6 other members of congress with their families traveling to India to mark the occasion when martin Luther king traveled there to study the message of Gandhi. The U.S State Department and our Congress paid this trip using our taxpayer dollars.

Where is the outrage by the national media, and why hasn't this been on the front page of our national newspapers.
