Here another little tid bit all, We are asked to use the energy saving fluorescent light bulbs to to "Help save the earth"...Guess how many are made here in the USA?

Waiting...waiting.....

Your right!!!! NONE

Go to any store and look, all are made in China, the worst polluting country in the world, so by being green, we support the red, and make the world worse by doing so.
Interesting?

Wait a minute! Is this really newsworthy?

Mr. Obama is the President of The United States of America!
If he hopped on a Cessna, he'd be criticized for a breach of security.

Let's turn the tables for a minute. Let's compute energy consumption of the gas guzzlers and the limousines that CBS executives take to work in the morning. Better yet-- let's make CBS pay part of the tab when their correspondents accompany President Obama on trips so that the media have access to him.

CBS: give us news, not nonsense.

when i saw him taking air force one for a personal trip to chicago, i couldn't help wonder about the gas, paid for by the american public, and the impact on the environment. now this on earth day. i had such high hopes as a supporter. does he not recall the change he spoke of?

[remedialed]

Imagine how much more meaningful the events could have been had he used a webconference or videoconference alternative! Not exactly leading by example, is he?

[dixiesquaw]

i cannot believe that cbs finds fault with their holy one. will this reporter be fired?

[jelindley]

From now on I would appreciate it if those who have to complain about me driving an SUV would look at their own leadership before condemning me. Now how many gallons of fuel did pope Gore burn spreading his gospel of infulgences/carbon credits.

Typical liberal .....do as I say not as I do. This man will go down as one of the worst presidents in American history.
I hope everyone who voted for this moron is happy now.
He is a hypocrite and not a Godly man.

What is not mentioned in this article is the OTHER aircraft that is used to transport Marine 1 and the fleet of land vehicles, to and from the site being visited. So probably about the same fuel burn as Air Force 1 for roughly 18000 gallons of fuel total. What a fraud!
