His wife and kids have also taken some big trips without him, now they serve no real purpose to our govt so for them its a real vacation. I think they just had some big music thing at the white house, sure that cost us a few pennies that could have been spent elsewhere. At the same time the blue angels or thunderbirds arent an essential part of the govt nad it doesnt affect our every day lives so stop trying to make it sound worse than what it is.
