Last year (2010) Obama flew in Air Force One 172 times, almost every other day.This is from Mark Knoller of CBS. The pilots and crew of Air Force One are flying more hours than a rookie on a beer run. They are tired of it too, and are adding more crew to Air Force-1 - I know this for a fact because I'm one of the instructors that trains the crews. Our company (Atlas Air) has had the Air Force-1 and E-4 contract for over two years and I've been doing it for about 8 months now.Last year (2010) Obama flew in Air Force One 172 times, almost every other day. White House officials have been telling reporters in recent days that the Democrat doesn't intend to hang around the White House quite so much in 2011. They explain he wants to get out more around the country because, as everyone knows, that midterm election shellacking on Nov. 2 had nothing to do with his health care bill, over-spending or other policies, and everything to do with Obama's not adequately explaining himself to his countrymen and women. And with only 673 days remaining in Obama's never ending presidential campaign, the incumbent's travel pace will not likely slacken. At an Air Force-estimated cost of $181,757 per flight HOUR (not to mention the additional travel costs of Marine One, Secret Service, logistics and local police overtime), that's a lot of frequent flier dollars going into Obama's carbon footprint. $80 Million every time it lands & takes off. We are privy to some of these numbers thanks to CBS' Mark Knoller, a bearded national treasure trove of presidential stats. According to Knoller's copious notes, during the last year, Obama made 65 domestic trips over 104 days, and six trips to eight countries over 22 days. Not counting six vacation trips over 32 days.He took 196 helicopter trips, signed 203 pieces of legislation and squeezed in 29 rounds of left-handed golf. Obama last year gave 491 speeches, remarks or statements. That's more talking than goes on in some entire families, at least from fatherly mouths.In fact, even including the 24 days of 2010 that we never saw Obama in public, his speaking works out to about one official utterance every 11 waking hours. Aides indicate the "real good talker" believes we need more.Related: Obama spends nearly half his presidency outside Washington, plans to travel more Related: Vacationer-in-Chief Spends $1.75 Million to Visit Hawaiian ChumsObama has spent over $5.76 Billion taxpayer dollars flying around in Air Force One, and probably another $100 Billion on his entourage. Obama is just another tin-pot dictator living lavishly at the expense of his subjects. According to the Constitution, no money is to be expended that has not been appropriated by Congress. Are they not paying attention?According to Article II, Section 2 of the Constitution, all Presidential appointments are to be made with the advice and consent of the Senate, providing two-thirds of the Senators agree. He has appointed more than two dozen czars without so much as consulting the Senate. Those czars are unconstitutionally appointed. We could save lots of money by removing the czars and their staffs. And by eliminating much of the bureaucracy we could balance the budget. Why has the Congress not thought of these things?
as they discovered they could make a good living doing what they enjoy most.

To See the Big Picture

When God's people
humble ourselves, pray,
seek God's face, and
turn from our wicked ways
(2 Chronicles 7:14)
-- to be enabled to elect --
to all levels of government,
from bottom up:
towns, counties, States,
and Reps to Congress --
statesmen committed to ...
... the Constitution ...
... then the States can restore
our Constitutional Republic
simply, with nullification,
by the Constitution --
the Miracle by which God,
in answer to prayer,
healed the USA
from dying in infancy!

Then, to see the rest of the big picture, if you have reached this page from an outside link, and do not know -- most people don't -- that the Republic of the USA suffered a coup d'etat, nearly a century ago; and the details of the means by which our Constitutional Republic and government accountability CAN be restored, we suggest that you go to Home,

Inherent in the Constitution
is a viable Plan

it started out to be.
The People have the authority.
Not by legislation through the current Congress,
nor by jurisdiction through the Courts;
all of which are part of the problem. We can do it by nullification through the State Legislatures.
The States have Two Keys;
-- the Only Keys --
both are in the Constitution.
One State ...
