And let’s all keep in mind that Obama and the Dems are increasing US commitments in Afghanistan, while simultaneously planning on gutting the Pentagon’s budget.
Brilliant.

Give someone with no class a high position and an almost open checkbook and this is what you get!

I had just read this on Drudge.
I’m speechless — we’re living in the Age of the Caesars.

We’ve got a big problem if this really strained our military transportation infrastructure.....

Well, of course royalty, such as the wonderful Messiah, has to have a huge entourage to cater to his every whim? Whould he want to play basketball, then we taxpayers will provide a suitable person to shoot baskets with him. We wouldn't want the world to think that he was ordinary, now would we? </sarcasm>
To: Titus Quinctius Cincinnatus
If they do not want to fund the military properly, or if Obama and the dems need to use the resources for themselves(as pelosi does), they need to pull the troops out ASAP.
It is not right to compromise them.

Perhaps it’s the case that we can’t handle 2 wars and 1 rockstar entourage at the same time.
To: anniegetyourgun
The 500 number would come more into focus if the press would do its spadework and print how many were in the Bush entourage when he went to the same meetings during his term of office....or at least during his last year.
Maybe someone here knows.

We gave to do our own journalism now - those on this trip are simply DNC operatives.

There was a report on FOX yesterday that said 0bama brought along 12 teleprompters, just to make sure he’s covered at all times. For a guy who doesn’t like the military, he sure has been putting them through their paces ferrying him and his crew of idiots all over.

Sorry, not believable. One thing we do have plenty of is Air Transport.
And, as another freeper noted, if the temporary transfer of a few heavy lifters impacts our war effort than we are screwed anyway.

Evident with sports stars, straight from the ‘hood, but I’ve never seen such with a president.
It makes me sick.

This was a mission to an ally country. In contrast, how much USAF AMC SAM support was required to fly President Bush into a war zone on the other side of the world on Thanksgiving? Not 500 pax worth!!

Scan of history tells me that Bush travelled with about the same, though he frequently took lots of Congresscritters with him. Bambi apparently likes to be a one-man-show.
