Cannot seem to get the question answered
From
The Washington Examiner:
White House refuses to promise that Obama will cut back on �lavish vacations�
Confronted about President Obama�s $1 million golf trip, White House Press Secretary Jay Carney attacked Republicans rather than promise that the president will cut back on �lavish vacations� paid for by taxpayers.
�How does the president justify lavish vacations and a golf trip to Florida at taxpayer expense and does he plan to cut back on his travel?� a reporter from Colorado asked after noting the high unemployment rate among minorities and the furloughs that federal employees face under sequester.
�I can tell you that this president is focused every day on policies that create economic growth and help advance job creation,� Carney replied. �We certainly do not need to embrace economic policies that shift the entire burden of deficit reduction on senior citizens, middle class families, and Medicare recipients.�
Carney and the reporter went back and forth about the significance of such programs to minorities until a member of the White House press corps intervened to ask a question about Republican opposition to additional tax increases.
Emphasis mine -- pants on fire...
