Obama used Air Force One to fly 131 miles to Williamsburg, VA from DC? What did that cost the taxpayers?

In the past most Presidents flew in the helicopter Marine One to that destination.

Obama is merely a young boy riding his tricycle for the first time with the seat attached to the seat post.

He used a 747 to fly 131 miles?

Bloody hypocrit, how does that coincide with his alleged 'Green Policies'?

Before this past few weeks, I was purely against his Political stance, but this story, coupled with seeing that arrogant 'swagger' in front of reporters' cameras that we're seeing on British TV recently, I'm starting to dislike the man personally.

I wish he'd respect the established etiquette associated with his position.

I was wondering the same thing. It would have been a quick flight in Marine One. And air traffic control had to be a nightmare in the DC to Richmond corridor.

What did that cost the taxpayers?

A big bunch! Considering that the back up to AF One had to fly there also.

No trying to pick an argument, but I thought Marine One was used only to ferry the president from Andrews to White House and vice verse, and also taken ahead to locations where president might be touring disaster areas and where chopper is needed...LaGuardia to Wall Street heliport, for example...saw that one on Discovery Channel. President flew Air Force One to LaGuardia and then Marine One to Wall Street heliport.
