I was watching the news how Barrack traveled to Denver to sign the Porkulus Bill and I saw some thing that is kinda disturbing.
President Obama took a day trip out to Denver on his private jet (a 747) to sign the Stimulus Bill. He rides in an airplane that uses 5 gallons of fuel to go one mile, so the 1493 mile journey used 14,930 gallons of fuel for the round trip. I'm not exactly sure what other planes travel with the President, but I bet there is one that carries his car(s), and maybe some for his security.
What made this more interesting is that the guy who introduced him sells solar panels, to help switch us to "Green Energy". If the President wants me to actually believe that global warming is an issue, maybe he could maybe lead by example. I bet they have staff that could carry that bill to the White House for him to sign. I even bet that if the President wanted to, he could fly the solar panel guy in on a commercial flight at much less cost. If this global warming is a crisis (or even an issue) then don't you think maybe our elected leaders could lead, would that be too much trouble?
