Obama and "His" Helicopters

Another day and another failed posturing attempt by the waning GOP.

McCain, the Arizona Republican who was Obama's rival for the White House in last year's election, questioned the president about the cost of the new helicopter fleet on Monday.

"Your (proposed new) helicopter is now going to cost as much as Air Force One," the presidential airplane, McCain said. "I don't think that there's any more graphic demonstration of how good ideas … have cost taxpayers an enormous amount of money."

Of course, Barack Obama (who has cancelled the order) did not order those planes.

President Bush put in the order for new high-security presidential helicopters in the wake of the September 11, 2001 attacks on the United States

Epic failure.
