The Air Force One mote in President Obama’s eye

Posted 19 Feb 2009 in Barack Obama, economy, environment, hypocrisy

Does President Obama’s messiah complex mean that he doesn’t have to practice what he preaches?

pbho_laughsDoes anybody remember when President Obama chastised Detroit auto executives for flying to Washington to beg for their bailouts, saying they were “tone deaf” to the concerns of the American people?

Or when he scolded Citibank for their plans to purchase a corporate jet?

Or when he criticized banking officials for flying to corporate events “on the taxpayer’s dime”?

Then somebody explain to me why President Obama, who regularly talks about “green energy” and a “new era responsibility,” made the doubly feckless choice to fly Air Force One 1,700 miles to Denver to sign the $3.27 trillion government expansion bill rather than simply doing so at the White House. Was it really worth the hundreds of thousands of dollars in jet fuel and carbon emissions just to have a photo op in the location where he accepted his nomination for president?

More “do as I say, not as I do” sand in the vaseline from The One.
