That exactly what I expected. He thinks he can dedicate what people can use as a source. Here's one from his liberal news source

LOL!
way to showcase your hypocrisy and double standards, WhiterWoman!
all you're saying is that you're mad at the VP for being the VP! that's some indignant and manufactured outrage there!
these costs are par for the course in high-level international trips as they also include accommodations for staff, security details and military personnel.
“These costs are nothing out of the ordinary. They are in line with high-level travel across multiple administrations,” the State Department official said. *”The contract costs cover the entire range of support, including accommodations for military, communications, secret service staff, and other support professionals.* Security experts are also required to travel in advance of the president or vice president. Safety and security are not negotiable.”

considering that it's comparable to what any administration spends on security, your manufactured outrage reeks all the more of butthurt.

This is the first administration that could not afford white house tours and the easter egg roll on the white house lawn while spending millions on their own personal vacations and sending billions of bribe money to the middle east...
Priorities...

And it just came out that they want to spend another 200 million to rehab GITMO... You know, the place the president closed on his first day of office.
Only 150 million was openly declared. It kinda just slipped out during testimony under oath that another 50 million was being spent without the publics knowledge..
Not to mention millions spent, robotic squirrels, studies of why lesbians are fatter than homosexuals on average, Billions to green energy companies that bundled for OBama, millions spent on ski trips to Aspen for Mrs. Obama, etc.
President Obama sure shows where his priorities are...

how dare you challenge Bwana Obama!
Dont you know he's a "Constitutional Scholar"???? You have no right to question any of Bwana Obama's actions, since he is so much smarter and wiser and more handsome than you. Bwana Obama is our Beloved Leader, and his decisions are for the best.
Now get back to work and stop arguing with your betters, Bucky may be a castrated servant of his master Bwana Obama, but he is the Chief Eunuch, so at least thats something.
