Stupid, but funny: Obama’s jet fuel bill for Earth Day speech

In 2015, America enjoys all sorts of technology that allows for remote conferences, meetings, and speeches.  There’s Skype, GoToMeeting.com, YouTube, etc.  But on Earth Day 2015, Obama decided it was necessary to emit massive amounts of greenhouse gas emissions from jet fuel in order to reach Florida, for the sole purpose of making a speech– IN FLORIDA– attacking greenhouse gas emissions.  “President Obama’s decision to take his Earth Day speech attacking climate change “deniers” to Florida, home of two GOP presidential candidates, cost taxpayers $866,615.40 just for the flight of Air Force One. Taxpayer watchdog Judicial Watch revealed Wednesday that the Air Force provided documents showing the flight expenses of flying the jumbo jet 4.2 hours to Miami. He was then helicoptered 20 minutes to the Florida Everglades for his speech. Other costs, such as security, communications and staff were not provided, but would put the speech price at way over $1 million… “The irony of using Air Force One for an unnecessary jaunt to discuss global warming aside, these documents show that taxpayers are being gouged for President Obama’s abuse of the perks of office,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton.”
