$400 Million Each
John McCain and Barack Obama vow to reform the nation's
defense procurement if elected president, yet each is unwilling to take a
firm stand against the skyrocketing cost of a plum White House perk: the
new Marine One helicopter. The fleet of 28 helicopters being built to fly
the next president is now projected to cost $400 million apiece, a
total of $11.2 billion.

McCain Is Indifferent
McCain labeled the contract growth a "scandal" before asking to revise his
assessment "in a more polite way." He said the program is part of "an
out-of-control procurement system that has to be fixed." Obama said, "I
haven't taken a close look at it, but, in principle, it is a lot of money,
even in Washington."

After The Terror Attacks
The program has its roots in the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. After
the attacks, President Bush flew on Air Force One, a customized Boeing
747, from Florida to military bases in Louisiana and Nebraska before
returning to Washington. The chaos of that day underscored the need for
secure communications and the commander in chief's ability to remain in
contact at all times.

The Choppers Pick Up Dignitaries
The new copter will be made by Lockheed Martin, subcontracted to
Europeans. And as can be witnessed by tourists on the National Mall
near the White House, several of the identically marked helicopters often
accompany Marine One in flight as decoys.

I Got A Better Idea
Let McCain or Obama spend 15 minutes in a limo to
Andrews Air Force Base. And as far as picking up Israel's PM Olmert, or
France's Sarkozy, let those two Zio-Trash take a cab. Sending that
copter to pick them up costs $100,000 each way. Think $11 billion divide
by 30 years, add in the maintenance, personnel, etc.
I can just picture the expression on the average
American's face when the Zionists crash the economy, retirees see their
stocks are worthless, and the unemployment is 40%. Then they turn on the
TV and see Obama getting on the Presidential helicopter, the wife
telling a Marine to go chase her two kids, while Obama waves from the
door.
