Seems to forget that AF1 isn´t just a matter of transportation, but operational hq in times of need – also what alternative do people have for the president to use thats safe and able to get things done as it should be. Question should be how much its used compared to needed obviously.
@Clark Kent Include Barney Frank and Cris Dowd. (Quote and Agree!)
congress under the Democrat regime and especially House member B.Frank and Senate member Dodd were the leaders in preventing a Bush-proposed audit and reform of the government lending agencies…..each one headed by Dem choices who were exposed in financial scandals….especially the Real Estate Government-induced BUBBLE.
IMO this current Dem Prez is abusing the travel perk and the use of the taxpayers’ credit card!
Actually, “Air Force One” is any U.S. Air Force aircraft the President is actually ON. Just as “Marine One” is only that when the President is on board.

But does it need to be used so much for campaign trips. 30 so far this year compared to Bushes 3.

If you are a disgusted tax payer, then you must be in the lower income tax bracket. Cause the rich are getting all the tax breaks.

Every trip Obama takes is a campaign trip, bathroom trips included.
