Say, I was at O'Hare last week and overheard security guys talking about Obama being in town. They said it was a real bitch when he would motorcade, but how thankful they were that he was now using the helicopter. A lot less hassle. I can only imagine that this is saving taxpayers money in other ways. Didn't think anything of it until McCain put his foot in his mouth.Remember what the Republicans did to Nancy Pelosi when the House sargeant at arms requested that an Air Force plane be made available for her travel, for security reasons? That's exactly what John McCain is trying to do to Barack Obama by complaining about the presidential helicopter, Marine One. McCain, who may think he's still running for president against Obama, is simply playing the House Republican game of "I gotcha." Bitter, party of one.
