| #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. |

| #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. |

| #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. |
