TexasRainmaker is one of my favorite blogs. TexasRainmaker's intended audience is going to be a right-wing conservative thinker who enjoys a good laugh and can appreciate the humor even though the average reader strongly disagrees with the inspiration for his writings.

In this post, TexasRainmaker takes issue with the strain being put on the United States Military by Obama for his European visit this week. The enormous cost, and wasteful tax-payer spending have the author a little upset. TexasRainmaker also accuses Obama of spending like a rock star.
He claims that Obama's European trip has strained Air Force heavy-lift capabilities and obliged the military to hire more foreign contractors to help resupply U.S. and allied forces in Afghanistan. Also, the large delegation traveling with the president in Europe required moving several transports. Furthermore, the problem is not only with vehicles and helicopters that were needed for heavy security, but also the unusually large number of people travelling with the president.
The logic behind this post is simple. Why is the President spending/wasting so much money during these extremely tough economic times. I do not think Obama really needs to take the White House kitchen staff with him. Also, bringing 500 people seems ridiculous, what are they doing, are their jobs so vital that they can't be done in Washington? In my opinion, the President should at least appear to cut back spending like most of us have had to do. All of us are having to watch our wallet a little more. Instead Obama is living it up like a rock star, and that is why I agree with TexasRainmaker.
