President Arroyo should stop using taxpayers’ money to go after United States President Barack Obama, United Opposition president and Makati City Mayor Jejomar Binay said Saturday.
While thousands of Filipinos lose their jobs daily with the impact of the global economic downturn, Binay said the President has made use of public funds for a “very expensive hunt for a photo opportunity” with Obama in her US trip.
