here to see the article I'm talking about. Apparently someone I know saw this on CNN, so I looked it up online, and that's the place I ended up at.
Long story short, apparently the house has decided to buy three elite jets for $200,000,000. For the safety of top government officials.
If I'm not mistaken, we don't have that money. If I'm not mistaken, there are bigger things to worry about than three jets and the safety of a few assholes who lied their ways into their positions. Unless THEY paid for it with their own bank accounts, I see no good in this. Also, if I'm not mistaken, I don't believe the government would do the same for a regular person, or even a regular group of people the size of Texas.

true dat!
DAMN. REALLY? How disappointing.
@never_again3 - Very, very disappointing.
Wow...talk about "CHANGE"
I don't see the connection with Obama in the right wing artical. You could have directed this towards Mcain but this of coarse is impossible because although Obama is black he still won because of the stage that was set by his predecessor. As if this wasn't enough the Republican parties candidates alleged preferred running mate was Joe Lieberman.This is partially why Kerry lost his bid. Most people do not want anyone born and ordained; by right of passage, to serve anther county to be a critical position in their own country. I think the Republican party even feared this. Sarah Palin was a DESPARATE attempt to take the focus off from the "Bring E'm On Guy" and the ex fighter pilot who believes in continual war as an answer. I immediately assumed that Sarah Palin was another manipulative brainstorm that Carl Rove could only pull off with the ignorance and self centered-ness that the North American Continent can brew.I was wrong.Rove had nothing to do with it. Regardless, the voters were meant to focus on the Vice Presidential candidates looks. The Republican party thought that they had the best chance of winning on the merits of Palin's looks. Men were meant to fantasize that they were a retired fighter pilot now the commander in chief of the American Empire with Sarah Palin as their concubine. Patriarchal women; or better known as (Republican women), would be envious of their men in the right of passage of the patriarchal man. I though this view ;true to myself ,would entice some lateral thinking on your own part whether in agreement or not. It would all be good.
I knew he would bring no good change. He's lame.
@teeraljannah - I didn't know what kind of change he'd bring, if any; but so far he's not impressing me all that much.
