Obama Choppers Six Miles For Economy Comments

Obama Choppers Six Miles For Economy Comments
CBS news
Obama Friday flew Marine One from the White House less than six miles to Northwest D.C.
He choppered to Gelberg Signs, the Washington, D.C.-based company where he’ll deliver remarks on the economy and July employment numbers.
According to Google maps, the drive would have taken about 20 minutes from the White House.
By CBS News’ Mark Knoller’s count, this is the president’s 300th flight on Marine One.

As to why the president choppered to a company in D.C., spokesman Bill Burton said, “Probably because it’s an easier than a motorcade through the city in the middle of the day.”

Wild Thing’s comment…….
Meanwhile, Obama and Chewbacca keep spending like Royalty. I detest this elitist, self-centered, trailer trash thug!!!
He can’t use the excuse about traffic in D.C. during a busy time of day, because motorcading through the city in the middle of the day has never bothered him when he wants to lunch at a burger joint. He could have made his remarks from the White House lawn.
