In a effort to appear green the President flew on a smaller jet to New York for his date with Michelle. What about the motorcade? It also had to be flown to NY. I wonder what the cost and carbon footprint of that aircraft is?

I absolutely concur, AFVET. And don't even get me started on Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi's private jet. It's all outrageous. There's a great piece this morning online on this very thing, with a "you've gotta be kidding" cost breakdown. I've inserted the link here and in the 'related reading' section: Mark Knoller, CBS News Political Hotsheet: Obama Earth Day Flights Burned More Than 9,000 Gallons Of Fuel

You’ve hit one of my hot buttons.

On certain trips, Air Force 2 goes with him. Air Force 2 is identical to Air Force 1 inside and outside.
I figure Air Force 2 went with him on his recent overseas trip as a decoy, or a back-up in case no. 1 craps out.

There is a military transport aircraft that hauls his limos wherever he goes.
What,…you think he takes a taxi ?

Every trip he takes is an exorbitant use of resources, but that’s OK.

At least he had the pizza delivered, no pick-up, flown in from the mid-west, and the ingredients, and the cook, on a chartered plane, just because he liked that pizza while on the campaign trail.

After 100 days, don’t we see what we’re in for ?
