Problem there. He deserves no more special treatment than you or I.

I don't know where you're going with this. As far as the plane with
the US president goes, I don't have a problem with him getting special
treatment, due to security considerations.


Where I'm "going with this" is he's not feeling the effects of his own
syndicate's takeover of civil liberties. It is not acceptible to ground
civilian traffic in order for him to come into a town in order to garnish
support.

Neither the President nor members of Congress ever really feal the effects
of their own actions. They might act more in the interest of the nation rather
than themselves if they did.

This is true of everyone in government and most people in business and
academia. Hell, it's true of people in general.

Many's the day I hiked from the Metro stop to the terminal at National
Airport, sweating past and cursing at the exclusive (and no-fee)
parking lot set aside for Members of Congress. It's not just Bush, and
it's not just the prezdint. Most people earning over $100K are
relieved of many of the hassles suffering by the plebes. When you get
up past $1 million, you are relieved of most of them. Nelson
Rockefeller famously didn't carry any money with him. When he wanted
to toss a dime to an urchin, he got one from one of his aides.

all the best -- Dan Ford
