Our President has once again jetted off on AF1. Yep, he’s back in Copenhagen to save the world from those evil carbon footprints like the giant ones emitting from his 747.
The health care debate is at an impasse, at least for a short time, and can wait until he saves the world—again (yaaaaaaaaaaawn!)
Despite the efforts of Senators Joe Lieberman and Tom Coburn, a truncated bill of some kind will probably get passed against citizen wishes by about 60% against VS 35% for.

So I guess from now on, they will get rid of the presidential 747’s and instead retro a 787 Dreamliner that’s supposed to be a lot more fuel efficient but still roomy. ANd I guess we can force congress to take little prop puddle jumpers to get to and from DC and their homes. You know since we only have 12 hours to save the earth from the point of no return. Although we’ve passed so many scientists’ ‘point of no return’ dates so far and nothing’s happened. But we’ve only got 12 hours. Really, we’re serious. Trust us.

Even if something manages to get out of the Senate, it won't pass the final vote in the House.
The Carbon footprint is in actual fact somewhat larger than just AF1 when Pretender in Charge travels.
If you watched the History Channel (I think over the weekend) they showed the logistics behind one AF1 trip.
It includes an AF1 duplicate as backup.
It includes 3 (at least)huge transporters to ferry logistics and security staff, equipment and vehicles over in advance.
It includes at least 1 Marine1 helicopter loaded into the belly of one of the transporters.
It includes 3 Marine1 helicopters to/from WHitehouse - 1 as actual transport and 2 additional as ‘decoys’
It includes “The Beast” - official limo for is excellency. It includes all the entourage security escort vehicles.
It includes all the refueling avation fuel (required for security reasons) . . . . and the list goes on.
It includes an entourage of over 100 oxygen consuming, carbon dioxide exhaling emitting human bodies for logistics, security, communications, catering, cow-towing to his highness.
Add all this to the carbon footprint and the result is totally mind-boggling.
