These morons are running the world today...And Isn't this little tidbit nice? Imagine the uproar across the MSM and liberal blogosphere if You Know Who, that evildoer Goerge W Bush had caused this type of negative effect on the troops in a war theater for a foreign trip and just believe me, they did.......
Here's a telling quote from the piece below
One official said the problem was not only the vehicles and helicopters that were needed for presidential security, but also the unusually large number of people traveling with the president. The official said U.S. taxpayers are paying twice for airlift, once for Air Force jets that are not available for a war zone and again for foreign contractor aircraft that are.
Military strained by Obama trip: "
Washington Times - Inside the Ring:
Air Obama
President Obama's European visit this week has strained Air Force heavy-airlift capabilities and obliged the military to hire more foreign contractors to help resupply U.S. and allied forces in Afghanistan, according to military sources.
The large delegation traveling with the president in Europe required moving several transports, including jumbo C-5s and C-17s, from sorties ferrying supplies to Afghanistan to European bases for the presidential visit, said two military officials familiar with the issue. They spoke on the condition of anonymity to avoid any misunderstanding with White House officials.
The Air Mobility Command, part of the U.S. Transportation Command, was ordered to provide airlift for the president's entourage of nearly 500 people, including senior officials, staff, support personnel, news reporters and some 200 Secret Service agents for the European visit, which began Tuesday in London.
Airlift for the traveling entourage also was used to move the president's new heavy-armored limousine and several presidential helicopters used for short transits." continued 4 pages long
Neither does Obama's audacity as he warned the world in his book ghost written by his white half father Ayers and titled after his black half father Rev Wright.
