Republicans deride Obama’s Disney visit as ‘taxpayer-paid campaign day’

http://www.postonpolitics.com/2012/01/republicans-deride-obamas-disney-visit-as-taxpayer-paid-campaign-day/

“It looks like our president is at it again with yet another taxpayer-paid campaign day,” said Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus this morning on a conference call. “It’s amazing that this president seems to find himself every day in battleground states across America paid for by the taxpayers. He doesn’t seem to end up in Montana or Nebraska very often…It’s a campaign trip to a very important battleground state of Florida where the president is doing very poorly.”

It's a given that an incumbent, especially a sitting President has a bully pulpit.

When did it become a problem for the GOP?

Oh right, when it was a Democrat.

pop up with every new administration. Republicans criticized Clinton for using AF1. Dems criticized Bush. Now Repubs are criticizing Obama.

Same thing here. Every time an incumbent president runs for reelection we hear this same complaint.

Does anyone take it seriously? (Don't answer: I know some people do.)
