BARACK Obama has taken his debut flight as president on his new "spiffy ride" - the blue and white Boeing 747 which serves as Air Force One.
Mr Obama also took his first trip aboard Marine One - the helicopter which ferries the president around on shorter trips - this time from the White House to Andrews air force base outside Washington.
The President walked to the press cabin at the back of his new plane before taking off on the short hop to Virginia, where he was due to speak to Democratic members of the House of Representatives who were holding a retreat.
"I've got my spiffy jacket so I thought I'd come and show it off," he said, modelling his new blue air force souvenir, bearing the presidential seal and the words "Air Force One" and "Barack Obama".
"What do you think about this spiffy ride? It's not bad," he said.

He took a 747 to Virgina? Holy crap! Couldn’t he have taken Marine One to Virgina? It’s like, only right next door. Did AF1 even get to cruising altitude before final?
I believe that’s: Screwed, Blued (appropriate), and Tattooed.
When he graced the press with his presence, did he say -—”Hi ya guys!!”??

A reminder Air Force One belongs to the American people.
Barack Hussein Obama is only using it for the next four years maybe less.
Also the correct press greeting for the press from the new President is. What’s up my homie’s.
Oh grow up, Barry.
Who cares?
Obama first time to sit in Presidential chair.
Obama first time to use Presidential phone.
Obama first time to turn on Presidental computer.
Obama first time to watch the Presidential TV.
Obama first time to take a piss in the Presidential bathroom.
Enough with BO already. Hey MSM get a freaking hobby.
