How many people it takes to get the President to the airport?
I know this is a Facebook link, but I just had to post this here, this is unbelievable, just completely over the top. Did Bush or Clinton or any other President have this much?
(Excerpt) Read more at facebook.com ...
The white vans are for the press i think so get rid of those from the count be happy the motor officer are there and not writing revenue tickets
“”How many people it takes to get the President to the airport?”””
Is that a statement or a question... or a Jeopardy answer?
America’s first Grand Caliph has revolutionized how the office of the POTUS operates. In many ways.
It’s a show tune.
I don’t go to facebook for anything but I imagine it would easier to bring the airport to him.
The guy near the building is me giving our fearless leader the one finger salute.
Is that all? I was a bit disappointed when the last truck turned the corner.
Come on, Obama! You can do better than that! /sarc
Also how many people will it take to board the Wookie on the plane?
president....???
YOU MEAN KING DONT YOU ????
I don’t think we had that many vehicles when our troops rolled into Baghdad.
.....because no other President has been as hated?
Reminds me of a pre WWII movie I saw as a kid about a demagogue who has a private army. Everywhere he went he had a bunch of motorcycles running in formation. Can’t remember the name of the film.
The size of the motorcade for a demagogue politician is analogous to the diameter of the tailpipe extension of a teenager’s lowered, spoilered, ground-effects-lighted, bedazzled paint job covered, 1.6 liter compact car.
‘Dem feelings of ‘inadequacy’ must be assuaged!
Somehow.
“There are three things that are stately in their tread; yes, four that are stately in their stride: the lion, which is mightiest of the beasts, and turns not away from any; the fighting cock; the he-goat; and THE KING ACCOMPANIED BY HIS ARMY.” Proverbs 30:29-31.
Absolutely unbelievable!! BTW, does this herd fly with him as well? The frequent flyer miles must be through the roof...
Or...
Baton Rouge.
Looks like they overdid it with the local PD motorcycle cops.
The WH press’ reliance on and eager ridership on AF1 is one of the longest ongoing and very quiet scandals.
WH press riding along with the president are an anachronism from the days of train travel.
These days the press corps are plied with ski junkets etc. - including their families. To expect them to provide anything within a light year of objectivity is foolish.
The usual excuses are made about the efficiency of avoiding security screening delays etc.
UK Prime Minister and members of the Royal Family often fly commercial albeit first class. Guess what? They arrive untouched, unharmed and even - gasp - interact with members of the public.
The president and the press are equally culpable in building up the self-importance and size of the travel pack as well as the ‘the world must stop’ security overkill in every city visited.
Providing sustenance to the notion of the Imperial Presidency only leads to the sort of power-mad idiocy personified in Obama’s outlook and decisions.
How many of those cops were on overtime?
