I don't care for Obama or his socialist/statist policies, but I can't blame him for this one. I really doubt that Obama had any idea that this was to take place.

The comment about it being bush's fault was funny:)

PS, let us all hope and pray that he isn't trying to micromanage at this level.
 
Nice to see our tax money at work. Nothing like a scenic flight over to NYC while we are cutting spending on the rest of the military. Whats the over/under on number of people fired over this debacle.
 
My issue is what a MASSIVE WASTE OF TAXPAYER MONEY this was. How much money did they blow getting the VC-25 up from Andrews and then how much on the escort?

You know it was just a total joyride for these guys. Hell, I'd be looking forward to cranking and banking if it was my mission. Might have even gotten the squadron CO in on this one!

Just very, very poor judgement....financially, PR-wise, and as someone else mentioned here it sets a very bad example on the CO2 emissions front.

So, in the immortal words of Viper, "That about covers the flyby...."
 
the news said that cost us about $300,000 , makes the CEO's flight to D.C. look cheap.

What a F$%^' n joke :angryfire
 
I have flown airborne photo shoot flights of large aircraft in the military. They didn't take pics from a fighter. But then its a new administration that can do things better.. eh.
 
1. If this had been done under GWB...the outcry would have been much louder....

2. This Administration lectures corporate leaders about using corporate aircraft to attend meetings...while using Air Force One and fighter jets for "photo ops".....

3. How many "carbon offset credits" did this cost?

:rolleyes:
