Yeah,
Like these firefighters and police don’t have enough to deal with without this baboso coming in for a photo opp.
The fool will be in one of the most conservative strongholds of the state.
Probably a fundraiser.
Wonder if the fire fighting airplanes are grounded while AF One is sight seeing on the way to the next fund raising campaign cash event ?
Where's Waldo?
He’s likely to look around at the smoke and flames and say, “Not done yet.”
We don’t need his stinkin’, photo op, useless butt in our State. He can look at pictures on the internet.
He’s going to ask the victims to donate their insurance money to his campaign?
You ask a very good question george76, I’ll ask AOPA and try to get back to ya.
Obama Bureaucrats Are Fueling Wildfires.
former Forest Service official and bomber pilot Tony Kern ... You need to have the airplanes available now. Veteran wildland firefighter Bill Gabbert... The USFS should have awarded contracts for at least 20 additional air tankers, not seven.
thanks
I would expect him to try to sell some of the donated food for the campaign.
This idiot needs to stay home until the fire is out. There are to many brave and selfless people here working the fire lines. We don’t need 0bozo here screwing up the logistics of the situation. Besides, I don’t want to hear him say that junior should empty out his piggy bank for the “Forward” cause.
Where’s Waldo? (pretty sure I’m late)...
Does it have a golf course ?
On foot, alone?
The state has been burning for days. He jetted off to at least two fund raisers during that time.

Tree-killing bark beetles decimated 550,000 acres of forests in Colorado and Wyoming last year, bringing the total area ravaged by the insects in both states to 4 million acres since 1996, the U.S. Forest Service said on Sunday.
“The significance is that the trajectory is moving north and east into more visible and populated areas,” Janelle Smith, spokeswoman for the U.S. Forest Service, told Reuters.
Federal and state foresters just released their annual aerial survey of impacted lands across the two Rocky Mountain states. The main culprit is the mountain pine beetle responsible for infesting 400,000 acres in Colorado and southern Wyoming.
The burrowing insects are moving into ponderosa pine forests from lodgepole pine stands along the Continental Divide, Smith said.
The spruce beetle, more active in southern Colorado, attacked an additional 150,000 acres in 2010, the report noted.
The 4-million-acre combined tally accounts for less than a quarter of the estimated 17.5 million acres of trees attacked by bark beetles across the interior American West as a whole, including Idaho, Montana, Utah and New Mexico, since the 1990s, the Forest Service said.
