Well, $2 million would be a bargain. It was $200 million.

Why not? Travel, health care...why should they have to exist on the same plane as the rest of the country they represent...oh...never mind.

How sweet it is! The rest of Americans are barely existing, Pelosi gets sweet jets, the obamas take a $20 million dollar vacation, and the beat goes on.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I thought the Senate put a stop to this order.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I thought the Senate put a stop to this order.If they did, it was today. This mornings WSJ said the order was for eight (8) fancy Gulfstreams at a cost of $500 million, up from the previously reported three jets at $200 million.
