It is not that he fact that he got this that bothers me, it's the fact that it is useless, wastefull spending we cannot allow right now.
It's like we have a whining kid for president, stamping his feet in the oval office because he cannot continue to use his toy.

I guess I still don't see it as that big of a deal. Being the president of the US is the most stressful job in the world. Just look at how it ages the guys that do it. If we can give him something that makes his life a little easier, even if it is only used to keep in touch with his family, I don't see what the big deal. The costs is not that much and when you compare the use he gets from it to the cost of it I know there are many other things that are much larger wastes that could be cut out.
