Say what you want, but this was under his control to a point.

He also bows to kings, but not to queens.

Not According to my protocal books. As country rulers, they are equals. How about his "tripping" to the King of Saudi Arabia? But did he bow to the Queen of England? No. He even stepped in front of her for the picture. If he had bowed to her, you would have had a point.
71 vehicles while he asks us to go green. Lets get on the same page.

Rough estimate is that Obama and his Air Force One entourage contribute 41,000 tons of greenhouse gas emissions per year...

And of course there is always the Taxpayer pain....Estimates are that the little jaunt to Copenhagen to support the filed Olympic bid of Chi-town was about $2.4 million USD.

I have not truck with coming to China $-wise....but the Copenhagen jaunt was "Obama-Ego" at it's finest....

I dont mind him traveling as much as he does, and yes he brings his own vehicles, but 71 vehicles must be a record when he says all Americans need to take care and conserve for the good of the whole world!

The entire "green" thing is a scam to fool consumers into spending even more. Just like that "gay" thing.
