Interesting read...

Obama said, and then joked "the helicopter I have now seems perfectly adequate to me.

"Of course, I've never had a helicopter before, so you know -- maybe I've been deprived and I didn't know it.

Funny that Mccain never said shit about Bush' helicopter or the huge money they were wasting on Iraq. Mccain is a turd.

Yeah how can you blame obama for the helicopters when it was a bush decision to make them in the first place

dirty cheap :)

I was kinda laughing on these points... who's administration approved the spending... and furthermore who's administration is looking into curtailing that spending...

Talk about the pot calling the kettle a gross misuser of public funding...

it's politics and public opinion, logic doesn't play into it.

Not a huge fan of the Democrats, but the Republican party makes me want to vomit

Great Answer by the brother ;-)

Kind of funny that Obama gets blasted for this, George Bush is the one who ordered the copters durring his last term.

The President needs the best equipment.

My objection is always to the trillions of dollars that is wasted on welfare, welfare fraud, and related entitlements.

Exactly.
If anyone should be called on this it should be Bush. Now that the Republicans are no longer in the White House they are blaming Obama for this.
Each aircraft, would now cost about 400 million dollars, more than the cost of the two adapted 747 aircraft now serving as Air Force One. I would look into why Bush approved this much money to the helicopter maker and not why Obama is spending it as it was Bush who approved all this spending sending out deficit to hell.
You can tell that Mccain is a pretty sad looser.

Of course. You do always seem uneducated in your posts. If you knew anything you would know that welfare makes up like 1% of our budget. LOL..most money is wasted on weapon systems...like WAY fucking more than the small amount that helps poor people.
You are one of the sheep who sucks on the FOX tit. STFU.

Here is the numbers brain..

Agency $ billions
--------------------------
AFDC 12 ---------- get it?
Medicaid 76
Medicare 131
Defense 281
Social Security 305

For a sec there I thought this "helicopter" reference had something to do with the "Bernanke helicopter" aka inflationary money creation by the Federal Reserve.

More on that coming soon I have a sick feeling...

I want a helicopter!

I've a lot about this subject really, and it very interesting. The Presidential helicopter fleet is a big fucking deal. It isn't one helicopter, but dozens. If I recall correctly there are three or four "groups" of helicopters, each with three or four helicopters each. All of the groups are the same, one group carries the President, and the others are decoys. Also in the bunch is a medical helicopter, as well as helicopters with additional secret service members.

This has been the routine for decades now.

Good thing he can be funny about it...
