OPINION:
You can tell that President Obama has never been subject to the cost controls common in business. On Wednesday evening, he flew from Washington to Chicago, landing at the airport in Gary, Ind. After that, he attended a fundraiser. Because he spoke at Northwestern University on Thursday, the trip was at taxpayer expense.
Afterward, Mr. Obama and his entourage boarded Air Force One and returned to Washington. Today, Mr. Obama gets back on Air Force One to fly back to the Midwest for a meeting at a steel plant near Evansville, Ind. — once again at taxpayer expense.
With no trace of irony, the subject for both trips was his administration’s handling of the economy.
