 Frequent Flyer pictures - 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. / Although this is a unique idea. I think you should be aware that the money used to fuel the helicopters and jets used to transport the President and any other Military personnel is paid for by the United States Government from a special fund set aside just for that purpose. We as taxpayers do not pay for their fuel. I just want to know why everyone blames the President when something goes wrong and he has to go there. He is concerned and is trying to help the people that are homeless,injured and missing from the hurricanes. Give the guy a break already. Stop dogging him and let him do his job. How would you like it if everyone complained about YOU every time something went wrong in the world. / maybe because he`s an idiot.
