“The request was made for a plane that could make the trip non-stop. The legitimacy of the request was acknowledged by the White House”
Ohhhh Bush’s fault, i get it. And yes,, anyone can see that she should NEVER have to endure a VIP fuel stop in Denver. OMG,, thats only for the little people. lol
The request was made for "security reasons". Whether you agree with it or not, it was deemed legitimate by the Air Force, the White House, and the House sergeant-at-arms, who is the one that actually made the request.
1) “I want an aircraft that will reach California,” Pelosi told reporters Wednesday afternoon, insisting that she doesn’t care what kind of plane it is as long as it can fly nonstop to her home district.
“It has nothing to do with family and friends and everything to do with security,” Pelosi said Wednesday. The sergeant at arms, she said, thinks “there is a need for this security. They have asked for it to continue. It is up to the Air Force and administration to do that.”
2) If it was so essential that Speaker Pelosi have the security demanded by the Office of the Sergeant at Arms why then is perfectly acceptable for the new Speaker to fly coach?
What changed in the security demands from November 1, 2010 to November 2, 2010?
I think we all know that ‘security’ was just a a BS excuse.
