Barry Has His Own Presidential Chair On His Plane

Isn’t that cute? He’s playing president.

Barry’s not too presumptuous, is he?

Barack Obama’s new campaign plane is nothing short of grand. Well, for the candidate that is.

His chair has his name and campaign logo embroidered on the back top — “Obama ‘08” on one line and “President” underneath. To one side is a small table stacked with newspapers ready for the candidate’s arrival. The table of the booth is always covered in snacks and cheese and is where Obama spends most of his time during flights meeting with staff and sitting for the occasional interview.

Elitist. Obnoxious. James Joyner calls it mildly scandalous. I wonder what the plane does for his carbon footprint.

Taylor Marsh (who is a Democrat): Obama and his team need to come down to earth now. Or they’ll surely crash land later.

Roger L. Simon: Does he think that the American public is impressed with a 46-year old with little or no experience, acting like le roi soleil in a campaign plane that already dwarfs Air Force One?
