Being a campaign fundraiser too, I think it won't be costing the taxpayer anything, in case you were not aware of it.

One thing I am aware of is that its at the Aragon Ballroom. Horrible acoustics!

As they do whenever any other US President goes on vacation, plays golf, and goes to the bathroom.

you're missing my point - that there's less involved if he's in the white house than on the road.

I knew you'd bring up the SS. Don't know why. If its an expenditure problem, you should be invested in protesting all US Presidents never go on the road.

Or is it something more specific to Obama?

I know its wacko looking at the source... but there are very true nuggets of honesty here:

Obama Turns 50 Despite Republican Opposition

WASHINGTON—After months of heated negotiations and failed attempts to achieve any kind of consensus, President Obama turned 50 years old Thursday, drawing strong criticism from Republicans in Congress. "With the host of problems this country is currently facing, the fact that our president is devoting time to the human process of aging is an affront to Americans everywhere," said Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, who advocated a provision to keep Obama 49 at least through the fall of 2013. "To move forward unilaterally and simply begin the next year of his life without bipartisan support—is that any way to lead a country?" According to White House officials, Obama attempted to work with Republicans right up until the Aug. 4 deadline, but was ultimately left with no choice except to turn a year older.

Really? So if the Rethuglicans retake the WH you expect him/her to spend 4 years/365/24-7 inside the WH as a fiscally responsible measure?
