Obama campaign gets more Air Force aircraft
Daily Caller ^ | 3/9/12 | Niel Munro

Posted on 03/09/2012 3:00:47 PM PST by Baynative

The U.S. Air Force is pulling nine cargo aircraft from military operations to support President Barrack Obama’s stepped-up visits to campaign events.

The five medium-capacity C-130s and four heavyweight C-17s will be used to ferry security vehicles, armored limousines and communications gear into cities ahead of Obama’s campaign appearances.

In the months before November, the president is expected to fly into multiple cities per week, and speak at multiple sites per day. On Mar. 8, for example, the president will fly to Richmond, and then drive over to a Rolls-Royce aircraft-parts factory. That evening, he’ll fly down to Houston, Texas.

His wife, the Vice President and many of his cabinet secretaries are using the Air Force’s fleet of VIP aircraft to visit more states as the election season speeds up.

Probably those aircraft would`ve been used for getting supplies to the troops in Afghanistan, and for transporting military ballots back to the states.. both of which are dead last on 0bama`s priority list.

If I could make big font I would.

The almost 100% lack of ANY Republicans SPEAKING OUT STRONGLY makes me want to projectile vomit.

When will this nightmare STOP?

"The almost 100% lack of ANY Republicans SPEAKING OUT STRONGLY makes me want to projectile vomit."

There's our problem in a nutshell. There are people who want our vote but those who will stand up for us and say something are few and far between.

Sickening is right and those Marxist bastards have no problem at all using and abusing our troops anytime.

I have no problem with this....as long as Obama & all his staff fly in the back of the C-130....sitting on nylon sling seats.

Hang, I say that we taxpayers should even provide free foam earplugs for them! Maybe even box lunches from the mess hall. And an Igloo cooler full of “bug juice”.

Nothing is too good for our political aristocracy! (double entendre intended)

It’s the fault of the Republicans. If they weren’t so determined to nominate a candidate to oppose Obama in November, he wouldn’t need to campaign for re-election.

I get the joke, but don't really think the Republicans are doing squat to oppose Obama.
