kunniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

It costs $68,000/hour to fly Air Force One. I'd like to call someone and ask for my share of taxes back.

Any big source about this?

I've never heard about the Huffington Post before...

Very nice! Kick their asses!

Were you bitching about that for the past 8 years? :error

I find it extremely difficult to believe anything I read anymore.

sorry kuni dunno how i missed dat :1orglaugh

Good for them..... I am sick of hearing about such lame corporate spending.

Reminds me of the scene in Goodfellas when De Niro tells the other guys not to buy anything big :1orglaugh

I couldnt find that scene, so youll have to make do with this:

Yah, someone's gonna get wacked. :2 cents:

because i think he is part of the sore losers club lol

I am cool with any of our presidents using that while still in office. They have damn good reasons to not be flying via commercial airlines and crap. Even when I hated Bush I would still want his ass in air force one than some commercial airline or even normal private jet.

Yep, who gives a fuck what it costs to protect our leader, those Citibank fucks aren't as nearly as powerful as the president.

They sold their other plane for 54 million and were going to buy a new one for 50 million, that is a 4 million gain. Guess Obama doesnt like people making a profit.

Link to that?

they are selling two jets for 27 million each

good on the Pres. those fucking scammers should have to account for all spending of their "bailout" money.

"Trying" to sell and "sold" are two different things. :2 cents:

Agreed. I misread it yesterday :thumbsup

You do realize this plane was ordered before they got any money. I mean ABC showed a finished plane. Don't they take YEARS to make after ordering? Also they were going to sell old panes to offest some of the cost. Now they'll have no new plane and the penalties for not taking the new plane will be as great if not greater than the difference in what the old planes sold for. Who will be paying htis difference? US. And Citibank will be stuck with 2 old planes. Also the company that expect $50 mil will NOT have it and be stuck with a plane they'll probably have to sell for a loss which mean they'll either go out of business or have to lay off workers. REAL fucking smart. Does anybody fucking think anymore in DC or do we ditch one moron for another every 4-8 years?

Same shit different piles :(

If he was any good, he wouldn't have a problem walking side-by-side with normal people. The worse they are the more bodyguards they have to get.
