Poll question: What doesn't Air Force One have that the Oval Office does?
Edited on Wed Sep-30-09 08:38 AM by zulchzulu


Since it is an "issue" with some people about Obama going to Copenhagen to pitch for America's chance to host the 2016 Olympics with a 24-hour trip on Air Force One including 5 hours on the ground, what does the Oval Office have that Air Force One doesn't?

1. The ability not to spew greenhouse gases in an effort to secure two weeks of stupid corporate games
For one.

4. It's lots of jobs...
...as for the greenhouse gas from one plane, do you fly in planes?

5. Yes, along with 200 other people, each of whom has different things to do
The Olympics are a corporate boondoggle.

7. Dreamer Tatum,
Given your description of the Olympics -- is there anything...anything at all, that does not occur in nature that passes your muster?

"Corporate games?" OK. It's also a celebration of athleticism and a chance for the world to compete in PEACE.

9. Thank you
And I noticed Michelle actually got there already - so two 747s spewing greenhouses gases in this case.

13. No, but....
...the power plant that supplies electricity to the White House spews greenhouse gasses, so what's your point?

3. He has to be out of office by then
See he cares about this country, and is trying to do something constructive for it in that future time. Boosh would never have bothered.

Obama is the type who is effective in person - right wingers should STFU, they brag about driving their SUVs.

8. Not to be picky or anything, but the photo is an OLD AF1,
A B-707, which was decommissioned almost 20 years ago. The current AF1s are B-747s .

12. So, people are complaining about Obama leaving for 24 hours to secure the Games which will bring
jobs to this country.

Yet, they say nothing about * who spent 4 days (that's 96 hours) in China's Beijing Olympics last year.

I'm pretty sure he wasn't there for a meeting of the minds.
