Helicopter Plan Is Excessive, Obama and McCain Agree

This article is about spending on Marine One helicopters for the White House. Original plans have increased from about 6 billion to about 11 billion dollars. McCain and Obama both agree that ideas like this (that can be good ones) have literally cost taxpayers a ton of money.
Obama admits in the article that the helicopter he has is just fine, although he really has no real basis for comparison since he’s never owned a helicopter. It’s good to see politicians from each party agree that this type of spending is unnecessary, and should be limited.
