President Bush (news – web sites) recoils after hitting his head,Thursday, May 1, 2003, as he boarded Marine One on the South Lawn of the White House. Bush is headed for California where he will fly and land on the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln as it steams toward San Diego. Bush will spend the night aboard the carrier.

Does it bother anyone else that he took a helicopter to Air Force One, then flew in Air Force One to the west coast, then took a jet to the aircraft carrier, just to appear for a few moments on TV to create a political moment designed to boost his chances for reelection? How much do you suppose this jaunt cost taxpayers?
How will we pay for the incredible expense of this long distance display of hubris when he slashes the taxes of his rich cronies?
