Maintenance on that thing has got to be a nightmare.

and is probably in need of a restoration.

I don't think this is a job for the guys from "American Chopper"
But what the Hell...It's only taxpayer money. Buxh has a lot of it.

5. I've got mixed emotions on this one

If he were spending the money on a brand new yacht, I'd be damn pissed.
But, this boat is so historic. It's been the setting of so many important meetings and decisions. I think this one is worth preserving for our kid's education.
I think what I resent is the thought of shrub using it. He'll probably have to fit it with heavy machine guns, anti-aircraft missles and submarine depth charges.
