Letter: Inappropriate for Obama to campaign

We are in unprecedented times.
The president, first lady, vice president and his wife all spoke at a national political convention and were on the campaign trail.
Before this, no sitting president, first lady or vice president of either party has campaigned at this level for a candidate.
During this campaign, our taxpayer dollars were paying for Air Force One, secret service and the entire entourage - totally inappropriate and unacceptable.
