The same guy who funded Obama’s Harvard Education and the same guy who owns large, huge, bigtime shares in major networks including Fox

The article is a bit misleading. Yes, the BBJ is the biggest official private jet, however, the Arabs have purchased more than a couple of 747s for private use.

I’m surprised that he is buying something full price. He has said in the past he often buys things on bargain prices, used products, etc.

Similar to the jet that Nancy Pelosi and her entourage use, isn't it?

>Relaxation comes from a steam room, Turkish bath, concert hall (with a baby grand piano) or in one of the five private quarters, complete with king size bed.<

.
All that won’t be of any benefit if the plane has the same problems that AF447 from Brazil had.

Don’t ask us, ask pelosi. She’s the one whose holding the the states from pumping their own oil Look at CA, ready to fold, with oil wells sitting just off the coast, one can almost wade to them, but she will not allow them to operate. These wells including the land oil wells could get CA out of debt in a nano second...but little nancy won’t let it happen. Of course, they would need some refineries, but she and the rest of the tree huggers won’t allow that either.

We American had better wake up and offer some resistence to these people who won’t allow us to be fuel free of the arabs.

Considering our current CIC he bought the USA for a song...
