Interesting article, but where was the concern when Leon Panetta insisted that if he took the position as Sec. of Defense, that the government provide him flights to California every weekend so he could spend time with his family. 

Then there was Nancy Pelosi while speaker, insisted she have a 757 Jet fly her to California on her off time because the smaller jet offered had to stop to refuel.

You could also detail the many frivolous trips Michelle Obama took or how she routinely insisted on taking a separate jet to fly to the same location as her husband. Then there's the expense of having her mother live in the White House and travel with her for eight years.

The double standard in reporting is obvious.
