Our Sky King and Queen

President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama flew from Washington D.C. to Los Angeles on Thursday. However, they flew on separate jets and the total cost for we taxpayers was no less than a million bucks.

King Barack flew on Air Force One to appear on Jimmy Kimmel's late-night show on ABC, and Queen Michelle went to the Warner Bros. studios in nearby beautiful Burbank for the Ellen Degeneres show.

Did I mention that the flights from D.C. to L.A. cost us $1,000,000.00? That's a lot of simoleons. 

Air Force One costs around $200,000.00 for every hour in the air while the queen's flight is a bargain for us at around $28,000.00 an hour. 

While Iran and ISIS go at it in Iraq; while Iran is probably close to developing a nuclear weapon and will use it; while the American embassy in Saudi Arabia is on the alert for a terrorist threat; our King attended a Democratic National Committee fundraiser and left on Friday morning for Phoenix to visit a Veterans' hospital (which I'm sure gave him indigestion), while our Queen returned directly to D.C.

I'm thinking, maybe they should fly coach.
