Obama Choppers Six Miles For Economy Comments
Posted by Christine Delargy
(Credit: CBS/Mark Knoller) President Obama Friday flew Marine One from the White House less than six miles to Northwest D.C.
He choppered to Gelberg Signs, the Washington, D.C.-based company where he'll deliver remarks on the economy and July employment numbers. According to Google maps, the drive would have taken about 20 minutes from the White House.
By CBS News' Mark Knoller's count, this is the president's 300th flight on Marine One.
As to why the president choppered to a company in D.C., spokesman Bill Burton said, "Probably because it's an easier than a motorcade through the city in the middle of the day."






An election for President and Commander in Chief of the Military must strive to be above reproach. Our public institutions must give the public confidence that a presidential candidate has complied with the election process that is prescribed by our Constitution and laws. It is only after a presidential candidate satisfies the rules of such a process that he/she can expect members of the public, regardless of their party affiliations, to give him/her the respect that the Office of President so much deserves.
