Free Pass


I'm sure you've seen it:

President Barack Obama burned roughly 9,000 of jet fuel yesterday, Earth Day, and that only to deliver one speech in Iowa, reports CBS News's Mark Knoller in an April 22 Political Hotsheet blog post.

As if that weren't amusing enough, Knoller notes that the Air Force and the White House wouldn't disclose to Knoller how much fuel the president's plane burns on an average flight, so he had to consult with the manufacturer of the 747, Boeing.

But lets give him a pass this time. Because:
1) It does no good, witness Al Gore's continued hypocracy.
2) If we were successful in making him feel bad about it, he'd atone by buying "carbon credits". With what? With more of our money.
