   CNBC reported that Bill Clinton et al were flown out of NoKo in one of those “evil” (oh so evil) corporate jets. This one owned by Dow Chemical. So evil are these jets that it forced the House to buy 3 of their own.

   Three jets? If the following is true, I’ve seen both three and eight reported, it’s 8 Gulfstreams for $550 million for Air Pelosi compaired to $369 million for 12 F-22s for the troops. Something else is discustingly wrong with the manchild. His veto threat “successfully defeats the funding” for the F-22s for the troops, but no problem with the more expensive, unecessary expenditure for Pelosi and pals. I’m almost wanting to start including the word…hate….in my vocabulary.

   Obama’s Priorities

   Democrats in the House order eight G5 Gulfstream jets for $550 million that will be used by the Pentagon to ferry around VIPs in Congress — even though the Pentagon says it does not need or want the planes. The response from the White House is silence. Democrats in the House make a down payment on 12 F-22s for the Air Force at a cost of $369 million and the White House threatens to veto the defense authorization bill and successfully defeats the funding. Just in case you had any doubt about this administration’s spending priorities, as far as Obama is concerned the Congress can spend trillions on anything it wants. But he draws a line in the sand when it comes to providing our troops with the best equipment money can buy.

   @Missy: I do need to update this story. Thanks for reminding me. Yes, it’s even worse than we originally thought.

   Missy, that should be part of many ads we run against obama.
