Funny how the press makes fun of Sarah P., but not Obama.

Uh, Barry would like a little bling with his ride. How about a little coke to snort in the back of his limo too?

I'm down wi-dat. :)

but I thought Marine One was used only to ferry the president from Andrews to White House and vice verse,

Incorrect.

That crewchief is going to take a lot of s*** from the Marines at HMX-1 for shaking hands with his glove on. Big no-no.

[ArrogantBustard]

1) When the Commander in Chief offers to shake hands ... what do you do? Zero shouldn't have put the crewchief in that position. If he'd served himself, or at least given a crap about the military, he would probably have known better.

2) I've personally seen a helo that could have been Marine One (no idea if POTUS was actually aboard) headed toward (probably) Camp David.

I doubt if I would let the Cinc stand there waiting with a big goofy grin, holding his hand out, while I took off my glove!

[Austin Scott]

Jeez. Pimp my ride comes to the White House.

When the Commander in Chief offers to shake hands ... what do you do?

If you're in Blues wearing gloves you take off your glove. Protocol is drilled in to the heads of the Marines at HMX-1, particularly White Side. The messiah is an idiot but that Corporal should have seized the opportunity and made him wait while he took off his glove.

[A.A. Cunningham]

That’s the difference between you and me.

[ArrogantBustard]

Thanks ... that would have been fun to watch.

There are 8 new VH-71 presidential helicopters on the way.
Ordered about 4 years ago, and should be ready soon.
