RNC attack on Obama’s bus tour ignores Bush’s political travel costs

The Republican National Committee released a tailored, satirical attack ad Monday as President Barack Obama began a three-day bus tour of the Midwest, focusing on jobs and the economy.

The 11-page pdf masquerades as a press guide for what the RNC has dubbed "A Totally Non-Political, Taxpayer-Funded Administration Event That Just Happens to Criss-Cross Several Battleground States Critical to the President's Reelection" — or, for short: the Debt-End Bus Tour (DEBT).

The "release" is labeled as being from the "Office of the Teleprompter" and gives "guidance" to reporters, sampled below:

During this totally non-political, taxpayer-funded excursion, the President will not be offering any specific details or anything resembling a plan to tackle the looming debt crisis facing America. If that was what you were expecting, feel free to nod off during the President’s open press events. You won’t hear anything that you haven’t heard before.

This kind of crap just drives me nuts. Name me one pol who doesn't use tax dollars to campaign. One. They all go on trips all over the place to woo voters and donors.

have the audacity to speak about campaigning bus tours is just sickening.

STFU, please.
