the use of Pelosi's B-757 jet, and use something smaller. A King Air-300 turboprop or a Learjet from the 89th AMW would do him nicely between DC and Ohio. Wanna bet he settles into a Gulfstream G-5 because he 'needs the room to work'. Fuck, it's only a 50 minute flight from Andrews to Ohio. Done it many times.
Just a little trivia...if you're ever listening in to ATC, be it on an inflight headset, or whatever, and you hear ATC talking to a 'SAM', or 'SPAR', call sign, that's a politician/General officer getting a free ride somewhere on one of the taxpayer funded jets from Andrews AFB. First lady is 'VENUS', VP is 'AF2', and you know the other one.
Btw, when ever the POTUS travels, both B-747's fly the route. One carries him, and the other is used as a decoy/backup. Same with the Marine One helicopters. It's no secret, and it ain't cheap. There's not one POTUS limo either. There are 6 of them. If the taxpayers only knew how much it costs for the Pres to go on a campaign trip/fund raiser dinner, they'd shit.
When a republican is back in the white house, all you guys can go back to doing what you have done in the past...ignoring how much waste and expense is involved in running the government.
Love how everybody has been keeping track of spending since 2/09. Hilarious.
You should get to know poster's backgrounds by doing some research on this board before making ridiculous comments about them. I've been keeping track of government spending since Eisenhower was President. How about you? Oh yeah, and btw, I'm a conservative that usually, but not always, votes republican. Just so you know.
Didn't hear a word from these so called fiscal watchers when President Bush was flying around to campaign events, running up the hour meter on Air Force One!
