Why does Nancy Pelosi need a military 757 to fly around the country?

Remember the phrase the french queen said "let them eat cake" right before she got the blade? Pelosi seems to have forgotten that.

This only occurred once. and that was an Air Force Decision, not hers.

Here is a link to the fact check article on this an other Pelosi falsehoods.

"A Jet-Propelled Whopper

A third false rumor flying about is that Pelosi ordered up a 200-seat Air Force jet for her personal use and that she jets around in it routinely, while other Democrats scold Detroit auto makers for flying in their own private jets.

That one has at least a mote of truth to it. Pelosi has used the Air Force equivalent of a Boeing 757 to fly between Washington, D.C., and her San Francisco district. But she has done so exactly once, when no smaller aircraft was available, according to Air Force spokesman Eric Sharman. At other times she flies in a much smaller, 12-seat executive jet, the same type used by her Republican predecessor, Dennis Hastert.

As we pointed out in an Ask FactCheck item on Dec. 12, Hastert was given use of an Air Force C-20B for security reasons following the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. The speaker of the house is next in line after the vice president for presidential succession.

When Pelosi became speaker, House Sergeant at Arms Bill Livingood (who was appointed by a Republican-led House) proposed using a larger jet that could make the transcontinental flight to her San Francisco district without refueling. This led to claims that Pelosi was demanding use of the Air Force C-32, normally used by the vice president and first lady. It is fitted out with a fully enclosed stateroom that includes a private lavatory, separate entertainment system and a convertible divan that seats three and folds out to a bed – a "flying Lincoln bedroom," in the words of Republican House Whip Roy Blunt.

But the Pentagon told Pelosi that – while it would make "every effort ... to provide non-stop shuttle support" – it could not guarantee it. As things have worked out, both Pelosi's spokesman and the Air Force say the only time she's flown in the C-32 was when no smaller aircraft was available. She also uses commercial airlines when not traveling on official business, according to her spokesman Brendan Daly."

I respect your right to your opinion, but hate her for policy reasons, not this as it isn't true.

The former Speaker Hastert used a C-21 which is based on your basic Lear bizjet. Not good enough for her Royal Highness.

ps: don't give me the crap about range - they can stop and refuel at some FBO in the middle of Iowa - takes 20 minutes. Our tax dollars at work.

No, they'd desire to not be flying around on militia jets. The officers of our government, like the different form of officers (firms spring to ideas), would desire to get around to disparate places rapidly. private jets are the terrific thank you to end this purpose; whether, I do believe that a smaller jet than what they at the instant have would meet their desires. And no, they'd desire to not would desire to retroactively pay for the trip.

Newt didn't get that plane. She fears landing amongst the peope just to re-fuel. Sad, sad woman from a pathetic district.

Her approval rating is so incredibly low she needs the extra armor in case someone here tries to shoot her down, ha, kidding, but she is a complete hypocrite. "Every month the stimulus plan isn't passed, 500 million jobs are lost." hahahaha, that's more jobs than we even have in America.

I* think she should have to buy it out of her pocket. A Piper cub 2189655500\\][poiuytrewqwertyuiop[\

She's got the pull. She's got the ego. It's proof of the condescending view she has of us "gun & bible clinging" Americans.

It's also proof of why she should not be reelected.
