Hey, when ya got it...spend it. Every little bit helps.

But, really... 50-100k? that's mice nuts, it's so small.

Actually, they could have done the whole photo deal with Photoshop for about a grand and never left the tarmac.

The news report today is that the ACTUAL TOTAL COST of the 'photo opp flyover' for our celebrity-in-chief, king obama WAS $328,800.00.
Might still be "mice nuts," but it would cover a Cobra, a 550 Spyder, a 904, and a T-bucket replica with a few nice dinners left over.
OR
A national retreat/meeting for a bailed out company.

Was it Dirkson some years back that said , "A million here, a million there, pretty soon you're into serious money!"

Something that I don't understand about this. If all of the proper authorities were notified of the photo shoot, and they failed to notify the people, why is Obama mad at his people and taking it out on them, as they did their part of the job by notifying all of the city officials than should have been. Or is that just more grandstanding for the press?

As an American, I am offended by the use of these words: "celebrity-in-chief, king obama." in your post.

How many hours a month do the pilots fly for non-missions, training, certs, etc.?

It's just the cost of maintaining the fleet.

They were flat-out stupid for not announcing the photo-shoot as a public event, so that everyone could watch.

I understand your offense, your right as an American.

Hey Tru,
