It's no longer Airforce one Northwest Buds, it stopped being Airforce One when Bush stopped being President. Airforce One is the call sign of the airplane that the president is in.It even got better when Air Force One took off for Texas!

First of all, this thread isn't about Obama ... its about the hypocrisy that exists on the "Progressive" side of politics. These people were screaming their heads off about the cost of Bush's inauguration ... and now that their choice has won the election, they don't give a damn about the cost.
To answer your question, though ... I couldn't give a fart if Obama decriminalized weed. Being led into the slave camp of socialism, while being able to smoke weed legally, doesn't appeal to me at all.

It's that commie,hatin, liberal bashing, progressive dissing ViMonster, that buffoon right of hitler, a dropout from the JBS, a miserable old reprobate, sore loser and just plain loser that is posting hate against progressives again. Maybe if we just ignore him, he'll just go away. Hey Redd, It's a new day in America, wake up and smell the roses,~LOL~.Your friends the Bush regime are out of power, thank Gawd.

Here's a good read for you VI

First full day of being president and
WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama's first public act in office Wednesday was to institute new limits on lobbyists in his White House and to freeze the salaries of high-paid aides, in a nod to the country's economic turmoil.
Announcing the moves while attending a ceremony in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building to swear in his staff, Obama said the steps "represent a clean break from business as usual."
The pay freeze, first reported by The Associated Press, would hold salaries at their current levels for the roughly 100 White House employees who make over $100,000 a year. "Families are tightening their belts, and so should Washington," said the new president, taking office amid startlingly bad economic times that many fear will grow worse.
Obama's new lobbying rules will not only ban aides from trying to influence the administration when they leave his staff. Those already hired will be banned from working on matters they have previously lobbied on, or to approach agencies that they once targeted.
The rules also ban lobbyists from giving gifts of any size to any member of his administration. It wasn't immediately clear whether the ban would include the traditional "previous relationships" clause, allowing gifts from friends or associates with which an employee comes in with strong ties.
So now what do you have to say?

As usual TBT you miss the point of my post completely and cling to your smart ass Semantics. (a diversionary tatic)
The jet he flew out on is one of two customized Boeing 747's "usually called" Air Force One when the pesident is in it.
Do your friends enjoy when you constantly correct them like you do? Or do you only act like a jerk here?

Unless you make over 150 thousand per year, you're going to be seeing some tax cuts. If you do make over 150 thousand per year, well I can't feel sorry for you.

Most likely, but I can't stand being content.
And there's always room for improvement.

Come on TBT, try to be more happy go lucky. We're not a rich family where money is concerned, but we're rich beyond all means when it comes to love and happiness.
I have a roof over my head, a few more bowls worth of weed and food to eat, that's all I need other than the love of my family.

Oh, I have plenty of love, though that's part of the stress, lending my little sister $500 to get her car fixed, and lent some friends $600, and waiting for them to pay me back.
Money is a pain in the ass...

Does this count for small business too?
Poor small business - that's a major punishment to them just for being in the same arena as Giant Million Dollar Making Corporations.
