Want to get even madder,I first saw this on FOX and then looked it up..and found it was true..

President Barack Obama left the White House this morning for a six-mile trip to a sign factory on the Maryland-D.C. border. But instead of taking the presidential Motorcade, he took Marine One – the presidential Helicopter. A quick search on Google Maps shows the drive would have taken at least 20 minutes, but the Helicopter trip took just eight. And, according to one unofficial estimate, it was the 300th trip Obama has taken in Marine One since taking office 20 months ago.

“”shows the drive would have taken at least 20 minutes, but the Helicopter trip took just eight.””

That’s all the time he could spare - he had to get right back to work on the next boondoggle he has to throw at us on Monday morning. He’s transparent all right!!!

Let's not forget we have to endure the cost of Secret Service Double Duty protection service.

Seems Michelle is as important as her husband.

On this on, I’m kinda with Obama. A presidential motorcade across DC is a nightmare! DC police are out at every intersection the motorcade will cross for 20 minutes before they pass (and on so short a trip, they’d soon be returning). Same for every overpass/bridge along the route Traffic gets snarled the whole time. The bottom line is, it’s probably cheaper and less disruptive overall going on Marine One.

A trip to a sign factory? That must be where they make those $3,000 Obama Stimulus Signs that we see popping up all over the place.
