Two Planes for the Obama's to Copenhagen
Fox News ^ | September 30, 2009 | Fox News

Posted on 09/30/2009 6:35:32 AM PDT by mfish13

The Obama's are flying a day apart to Copenhagen to pitch Chicago for the 2016 Olympics. I just saw Michelle Obama getting off what they are calling AIR FORCE TWO. The President is arriving tomorrow on AIR FORCE ONE. Think of the carbon footprint these two limousine liberals are spewing all over the planet. And, the average taxpayer is taking it in the shorts on this. But, what the hell, he is the One to follow. Go get ém, lemmings.

There will be more than two planes. Two accompany the president at all times. How can so many people be enamoured of this pair.....so many “but that’s differents.”

And in actuality, it is three planes, since a heavy-lift transport plane is required to haul the armored limousine.

What's the big prize if they get what they want? A multi-billion dollar bill for the Olympics for Chicago. Since Mayor Daley and gang will be able to skim off the money and then find a way to avoid the bill, the entire country will be stuck with it. I have never cheered for Japan, Bazil and Spain so much as I will in the next few days.

Yep.
Don’t forget the TWO C-5B’s that accompany the president, carrying his SS limousines and support/security vehicles and contingent.

I really, really hope that Rio gets the games, putting the screws to Obammy, his wifey and The Oprah.

You can take these two out of the welfare district, but you can't take the welfare district out of these two.
Welfare breeds Welfare. They're used to getting a free ride with everybody elses money. That's all they know how to do.

Flying to Copenhagen on Air Force One, great - Flying to Copenhagen on Air Force One without Michele - priceless.

That's the plan. Oboma would still be community organizing if it weren't for the Chicago Mafia.

“liberals are spewing all over the planet.”

I believe zero as global warming and flying impact is a hoax.

However, it does seem silly to spend this much money on getting the Olympics. If I understand the history, only the Olympics in Los Angeles, CA has ever made money.

All the rest are money losing.

Air Force Two? Is Biden on board?

The “Air Force Two” designation is for any fixed wing aircraft carrying the Vice President of the United States. Just as “Air Force One” is an fixed wing aircraft with the current Pres__ent (or President if we have one) on board.

The plane that typically carries the Pres__ent is a VC25. Though he has used other planes as well. I think for the New York “date night” excursion they flew up in a C-37B. For that trip, the C-37B was “Air Force One.”

I can’t get to a TV right now. Did the First Lady fly over in another VC25? Or did they send the VC25 that was Air Force One back to pick her up? Either way, this sounds like a huge waste of taxpayer dollars. I don’t begrudge the first family from getting together, and if schedules required separate trips, that’s OK. But a C-37B would have been a better choice for shuttling the first lady over to catch up with Pres__ent Obama.

Air Force Two “Heavy” -

Looks like Uncle Joe was once again left alone in the attic to fend for himself.

As with healthcare, the elites will never conduct their own lives the way they insist we do.

I am not sure what plane she was on as all you could see was a close up as she did the photo-op at the door of the plane. No jet bridge for her, as she is desperate for publicity.
