As if closing down Connecticut beaches, and restricting the movements of the citizens of Connecticut weren't enough so that the Prez could raise more money from the 1% (at two fundraisers in CT yesterday - one at a mere $500 a pop - but that was a cattle call - and one at $35,800 per person - more intimate - only 50 invited guests), the Prez was responsible for the scrambling of two F15 fighter jets because two small planes had the audacity to fly over Long Island and the other over New Haven Connecticut. Heavens to Betsy! Especially in light of the fact that the Prez was in Stamford, CT (41 miles away from New Haven) and Westport CT (about 35 miles away from New Haven), and far enough from Long Island. http://usnews.nbcnews.com/_news/2012/08/07/13160528-f-15-fighter-jets-intercept-two-small-planes-in-obama-airspace?lite
So, is the Democratic National Committee paying for the F15s, the loss of revenue to Connecticut parks and businesses, etc.? If not, why not? This was not Presidential business - this was PRIVATE FUNDRAISING, and we the taxpayers should not be footing the bill.
Also, it was suggested yesterday that Connecticut Governor Malloy would be attending the $35,800 per person fundraiser in Westport. Who paid for that ticket?

Let's waste more taxpayer dollars, shall we Mr. President?
