Aerial Acrobatics over Manhattan

Let’s accept Mr. Obama at his word and assume that he didn’t know anything about his airplane doing the equivalent of loop-de-loops over Manhattan. And let's put aside the stupidity of such a stunt. That has been amply discussed.

What I really want to know is how an administration that preaches that America should set the right example can waste fossil fuels like this? Was it really environmentally sound to send Air Force One sans the president from Washington to New York along with a fighter escort for a stupid photo op that could have happened just as easily with Photo Shop.

What kind of carbon footprint did that little jaunt cause? Why should the rest of us take this administration seriously when they do such things, all the while trying to tell me that changing light bulbs in my bathroom is going to save the planet. Why are you guys allowed to do whatever you want, yet you and your potty police regulate the rest of us into penury in the name of saving the earth?

Is it now okay to use the word hypocrite?
