#1  It's passed, but zero Funded, so it's dead for all practical purposes.

Thank God.

-Election 2012
USAF Creates Two Squadrons Solely To Support Obama Reelection Campaign
The United States Air Force has established two new aircraft squadrons to support the Presidential travel needs during the campaign season.

Operations for the two squadrons are to commence in April, and will run through the election. The aircraft and personnel will be released back to their original units after Nov. 2.

#1  Wow, I wouldn't have thought the Obama campaign could afford this.
Posted by: Matt || 03/11/2012 13:24 Comments || Top||

#2  like he or his campaign are paying for it?
Posted by: Frank G || 03/11/2012 13:28 Comments || Top||

#3  In the paragraph below, find the incredulous contradictions:

Aircraft and personnel are pre-positioned to support an expected surge in airlift so the Air Force is postured to more efficiently and effectively meet the needs of the commander in chief while remaining good stewards of taxpayer funds. During the 2004 election season, Banner Express operations saved more than $18 million, largely from fuel savings.

#4  The charade of Presidents doing their Constitutional duties while flying around the nation and just coincidently doing polital speeches and fundraisers has to stop. Just how stupid must the aristocrats in DC be to imagine the peasants can't discern what a ridiculous lie this has become. Champ has taken the Impreial arrogance of Washington's political class to levels undreamed of, just as the Wookie has taken regal presumptions in all her trips. At a time when real unemployment is above 15% and our decades of political and economic policy have deindistrialized us intoa pauper nation, these mutts spend like Croesus.

#5  Not sure you could get one Barry's Großer open coach Mercedes (large Mercedes) on a C-130. Must be the security detachment riding the C-130 troop seats.

#6  We're worried about Drones + MANPADS weirdly + mysteriously tailing Air Force One, aren't we???

Bush left me a really bad economy and I killed Osama Bin Laden'

#1  Let us restate the obvious.

OBL's hiding place was an open secret. Obama made a deal with the Pakis for OBL's head. We can assume that this deal is something Bush was unwilling to make, and that Bammo did it to aid his reelection campaign.

#2  "There are negotiations being made that are going to answer all of your questions and solve all of your problems. That's all I can tell you right now. Carlo, you grew up in Nevada. When we make our move there you're going to be my right hand man."

BS from BO
"I'm going to keep doing everything I can to help you save money on gas, both right now and in the future"
But I'm sure as heck not going to allow a pipeline from volumnious oil in our ally Canada get to refineries in Southern "red" states!
"Watch the hands, not the lips."

#1  He has more caring going on than works - that's for sure. Little pest.

#2  Learned everything I need to know about BO from Sheriff Joe.

#3  Modern conman is action. He can do this over and over. That is the sign of a good conman. He will ask of his marks what ever he needs and they will give no matter the harm they do to themselves. When he is out of office (which I hope will be very soon) he will do more of the same. We will hear from this man for years to come. Like Jimmy Carter. BO will do far more damage to his own followers and pockets of as many people he can reach. Its like a mental illness. He can't control himself. He will never be brought to justice. Then justice itself doesn't mean the outcome is will be fair. The pointing finger. The back tilt of the head are two features that set off the alarms for myself. He is getting easier to read. He believes he is the chosen one.

#4  another "check your tire inflation" program?

#5  Why would a great god need to deceive?

#6  I'm sure he was hinting he will do everything to get the gov to pay for your gas during the next term. Just vote for him and he will try. The 1% have enough money to cover it, they must, they are rich and have few votes and you folks are poor with lots of votes.

#7  Someone should recreate the old SNP subliminal man skit using Obama clips.

#8  Hat tip Procopius2k

An optimist may see a light where there is none, but why must the pessimist always run to blow it out?

#9  Food ration Gas Stamps coming soon. But they will be.... needs based.

#10  Not just a bad president. He's also a bad person.
Posted by: Iblis || 03/11/2012 14:48 Comments || Top||

#11  I understand 2/3 of our consumption is for transportation. So if we continue our painful reductions in transportation; hense consumption, who will look good?. The enviroment is saved. The dependency on foreign oil is reduced. I see BO taking full credit braging rights. The switch to natural gas or liquid will then be the next government program. Companies will be forced to switch. The public will be forced to switch. Cash for clunkers program but much bigger. $10/gallon for gasoline or $2.00 for gas. Yes, this is an effort to redue the whole transportation system.
The smart money is looking for this. From lightbulbs to health, government has created great wealth for a few in the know. That's why I say the big money loves the guy. In my opinion BO hasn't got a clue.

#12  We will hear from this man for years to come.

I don't think so.

#13  He should subsidise Light rail, more profit in it.

#14  I learned everything I needed to know about Pharaoh from Rev. Jeremiah Wright a few years ago.
