The Eagle Has Landed (National Review, July 30, 2010)

Covering Obama’s Detroit visit for Michigan View and National Review:

The Eagle Has Landed . . . and he has a big carbon footprint. President Obama touted this morning’s tour of a plug-in Chevy Volt plant as a look at our “clean energy future.” But how does the president’s travel schedule in and out of Detroit square with such utopian happy-talk? At The Michigan View.com, we have the White House “Daily Guidance and Press Schedule,” with commentary. A sampling:

9:30AM: THE PRESIDENT departs the White House en route Andrews Air Force Base, South Lawn

(COMMENT: This via a large military chopper to Andrews just south of the D.C. beltway. About 15 minutes burning 1320 gallons of fuel, or about 6,270 pounds of carbon.)
