Frequent Flyer Pics
President Bush asked the nation to conserve on fuel. Meanwhile, he's been taking Air Force One (not to mention all the helicopters and motorcades) back and forth to the gulf coast for those all-important photo ops to show he cares. Cost to the taxpayers, at over $6,000 per hour in jet fuel, roughly $170,000 so far. See news and commentary.
The new Air Force One shown above should be much more fuel efficient, plus the president gets to wear that fun "mission-accomplished" flight suit again.
