You are wrong! This plane can easily fly to the West Coast with no refueling stop -- you bought into the Pelosi koolaide.

No she should not be entitled to take a plane out of the active inventory to be on stand-by for her. No she should not be given a plane that the press and her family and other Congressional members can ride. That is not the responsibility of USAF!

She gets the plane like Hastert or gets lost!

The American people did not elect her -- she is from one louzy district in CA.

I didn't buy into anything. Read my post again carefully. It says that "perhaps" there should be an upgrade, but that the evaluation should be based on real needs of the #3 person in the US Constitutional Chain of Command.

These are the specs on the C20 here

The needs assessment should be done by the White House.

The Speaker of the House is by US Constitution next to the presidency after the VP.

It is an elected position by the most numerous, representative body in the Congress.

What you're really asking is why we lost the Speaker's seat. Personally, I think we ran a crappy campaign from start to finish; we never could figure out how to deal with the opposition media.

Well stated. I don't understand President Bush supporting her. That makes no sense - only makes him look bad.
