On his Hawaiian Christmas vacation, Obama decided to drive to see an old friend. However, rather than use an unmarked van, a helicopter, or just have the friend drive to him, Obama rode in a limo that took a 10 car motorcade to get Obama to his buddies house. Cost to tax payers unknown. Amount of carbon produced unknown.
President Obama provoked fresh outrage today after taking a 20-man motorcade to visit a childhood friend during his lavish Christmas holiday in Hawaii.
The 10-vehicle convoy drove the president and wife Michelle from his rental property in Kailua, across highways cleared of traffic and through a military community to reach Bobby Titcomb's beachfront house.
Mr Obama, who spent eight years at Punahou School in Hawaii before graduating in 1979, has splashed out $1.5m on his trip – a decision that will not endear him to the millions of Americans facing economic hardship in the New Year.
So does Bobby Titcomb not have a car to drive to see the president?
Next up, without Congressional approval, Obama begins regulation carbon through the EPA while the cap and trade bill giving the EPA that authority is held up in the Senate, unable to receive enough votes to pass.
