Simple. They can't stomach that the President is a black guy. If it had been Bush, Clinton, Reagan etc non of this bullshit would be printed.
I didn't want to be the one to say it, but yeah, that's my sense of it, too. Particularly since pspr, who started this thread and wants the president's trip to cost less than 1% of what was incurred by previous presidents on such trips, also "joked" about shooting the president: http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&postid=2913617#post2913617
And you're a busy body, but I digress. Personally I'd like to see him stay home and at least pretend to do his job here.
