He Is Potentially The Biggest Gas Guzzler In The Nation Sucking Up More Gas Than Mylanta
President Barack Obama: I don't fly that high
President Barack Obama has been lecturing and "mocking" political opponents and Americans in general, on the ills of modes of transportation that are "gas guzzlers" labeling such folks "Flat Earthers" (the only thing "flat" is your jump shot). This is ironic, as President Obama uses more gas than the average American, courtesy of Air Force One and the presidential limo. That's right, I'm going there tonight with this article and it's partly due to the fact I have PMS and somebody is going to pay for that!
Air Force One is a beautiful aircraft, but nonetheless, it is a gas guzzler
Now, I'm not knocking Obama for flying in Air Force One, as it is a sweet aircraft that keeps the Commander-in-Chief, Gas-Guzzler-In-Chief safe, but to lecture everyone else on "gas guzzlers" where you suck up more gas than two hundred Americans on a commercial airliner, is, how do I put it, hypocritical.
The Beast
Moving on to Obama's favorite mode of land transportation, the presidential limo, which he dubbed "the Beast." Before I begin, why did he name it "The Beast." Not to get technical, but theologically speaking, "the Beast" is the name of the anti-Christ/Satan in the Bible. But I digress. The last I checked, "the Beast" was not an electric or wind up car. My point, while President Obama dangerously drives up the price of gas, fulfilling a campaign threat to wean Americans off oil (the hard way) he is using enough gas for a few hundred people.

President Obama Calls Oil Drilling Advocates “Flat Earthers”
March 18, 2012 09:40 AM EDT - In yet another instance of President Obama mocking republicans, he calls those who do not support yet more failed green stimulus in favour of drilling for domestic oil "Flat Earthers". During a speech at a college in Maryland, Obama said, "We've heard this kind of thinking before. Let me tell you something. If some of these folks were around when Columbus set sail, they must have been founding members of the Flat Earth Society," he continues, "...I guess they like gas guzzlers. They think that's good for our future. We're trying to move towards the future, they want to be stuck in the past!"
It is not about gas prices, it is about incentivizing people by removing their choices. If gas prices are too high, they actually work to the benefit of this mentality.
A satirical ad by the Republican National Committee, equated U.S. President Barack Obama's plummeting popularity, to the Steven Slater scandal, which saw the JetBlue flight attendant, inappropriately deploy the aircraft's inflatable chute and abandon the plane, after a heated dispute with a passenger.
The RNC ad shows prominent Democrats bailing on President Obama in rapid haste, sliding down Air Force One's airplane chute, due to declining poll numbers, regarding his job performance as Commander-in-Chief.
Nancy Pelosi singing hook to rap song: "Everybody in the club getting tipsy"
U.S. Congressional House Speaker, Nancy Pelosi, a woman who has logged time on Air Force One (I had to tie in the "Air Force Rum" joke) has been outed as a woman that loves her liquor and on the taxpayers' dime, charging thousands of dollars in alcohol to her expense account. Wow, who knew she was such a rum head.
An itemized receipt of items billed to the American taxpayers, reveals a host of alcoholic beverages Pelosi has consumed while on the job (well, that explains some of the legislation).
Nancy Pelosi: Nobody's gonna take my booze from me!
The list of liquor includes, "Maker's Mark whiskey, Courvoisier cognac, Johnny Walker Red scotch, Grey Goose vodka, E&J brandy, Bailey's Irish Crème, Bacardi Light rum, Jim Beam whiskey, Beefeater gin, Dewars scotch, Bombay Sapphire gin, Jack Daniels whiskey and Corona beer."
This is one of the items the Judiciary Report was referring to days ago, that needs to be reduced, in the form of government employees' exorbitant expense accounts. There was no necessity to drink that much liquor on the taxpayers tab. Alcohol is not a necessity. Water is.
Taxpayers pay $101,000 for Pelosi's in-flight 'food, booze'
Speaker's trips 'are more about partying than anything else'
Posted: January 29, 2010 - Part of the tab for alcoholic drinks on a congressional trip arranged by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi
It reads like a dream order for a wild frat party: Maker's Mark whiskey, Courvoisier cognac, Johnny Walker Red scotch, Grey Goose vodka, E&J brandy, Bailey's Irish Crème, Bacardi Light rum, Jim Beam whiskey, Beefeater gin, Dewars scotch, Bombay Sapphire gin, Jack Daniels whiskey … and Corona beer.
But that single receipt makes up just part of the more than $101,000 taxpayers paid for "in-flight services" - including food and liquor, for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's trips on Air Force jets over the last two years. That's almost $1,000 per week...
Documents obtained under the Freedom of Information Act by Judicial Watch, which investigates and prosecutes government corruption, show Pelosi incurred expenses of some $2.1 million for her use of Air Force jets for travel over that time.
"Speaker Pelosi has a history of wasting taxpayer funds with her boorish demands for military travel," Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton said today. "And these documents suggest the Speaker's congressional delegations are more about partying than anything else."
Pelosi, D-Calif., recently joined President Obama on a Judicial Watch list of Top 10 corrupt politicians because of her "sense of entitlement," the group said.
"Politicians believe laws and rules (even the U.S. Constitution) apply to the rest of us but not to them. Case in point: House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and her excessive and boorish demands for military travel. Judicial Watch obtained documents from the Pentagon in 2008 that suggest Pelosi has been treating the Air Force like her own personal airline," the evaluation said...
