Speaker Boehner to fly commercial : Good Start!

[JayHawk]

They should all fly commercial with the same limitations they placed on federal employee travel. I would love to see Pelosi fly from DC to Atlanta to Chicago to LA... just because it was available and cheapest.

Never happen though the entitled never vote themselves out of the lap of luxury.

 

[CowboyBob]

That's a good idea, but do you really think this will become the norm? Speaker of the House flying commercial? Very doubtful.

 

[JayHawk]

Didnt the Speaker fly commercial before Pelosi? Her reasoning at the time was for her safety and such.

 

[Kulindahr]

I'll reserve judgment. If he sticks to it -- kool.

 

[MoltenRock III]

LMAO!!! Notice the operative word is that he "intends" to. I bet you $20 that he'll pull the shit stick in a few months, and say, "I wanted to but Secret Service demanded I needed private jets for security sake".

Watch, ya know that's the way it'll go down.

 

[Kulindahr]

Heck, he could point to the mysterious 'missile' off California and say there's a threat.....

 

[JayHawk]

That missile was interesting/disturbing.... Funny it never made CE&P.....

 

[Just_Believe18]

Okay... what, is he flying Southwest?

 

[Kulindahr]

Analysis was too swift and thorough -- I watched twenty minutes of people picking it apart, the day after.

I think this sort of puts it to rest:

Part of the wait and see crowd too.

Now if only we can limit congressional vacations during sessions or certain times.

This.................

Sermo villis. Vino pretio sum est.

 

[MystikWizard]

Even if symbolic

Will save some $$$

Excellent move on his part. He earns respect from me. Clearly, he is making a public statement by doing this, but it definitely counts.

 

[modernaire]

This means nothing....absolutely nothing from the man who handed out checks on the senate floor from big tobacco. A man who is nothing more than an empty suit advancing the pro-corporate agenda. It's like trying to put a fire out with a thimble full of spit.

 

[chrisrobin]

I stand in awe at the nobility of this selfless act!

All members of Congress from the GOP should also be requried to give up there tax payer health care. Why should I have pay for the speaker and rest of those who oppose health care?

I'd provide members of Congress with medical care equivalent to the median in the country.

 

[chance1]

won't he need security??

my gut is this "offer" will not fly

he'll get credit for it

but not have to do it

 

[BostonPirate]

fuck symbolism, fix the fucking job rates and tell us a real fucking plan to do it.

this is where the goddamned rubber hits the road.

I dont give two good fucks what method of travel the mother fucker uses, I just expect him to do everything he says he could and if I don't see new jobs in america in a month and the national debt reduced with THIS budget, he is going to get run out of town like a whore at sunday services.

Not hardly but it is good to see some fight left in the defeated left agenda.
