Is this a slap in the face to the carbon foot print liberals are always so worried about or is it a true reflection of how the Clintons and Obamas really feel about each other? Either way, it’s perfectly reasonable to walk the walk and share a plane instead of asking taxpayers to foot the bill for two former first ladies to travel separately.
The Washington Examiner has the details, and the video:
Hillary Clinton asked a top aide in 2011 whether she could fly on a separate airplane from former first lady Michelle Obama to Betty Ford’s funeral, according to a newly released email.
Judicial Watch released on Thursday more than 2,000 emails from Clinton’s unauthorized private email server she used as secretary of state. One of the documentsrevealed a conversation between Clinton and then-Deputy Chief of Staff Huma Abedin about how she would rather not ride the same plane as Obama en route Ford’s funeral in Palm Desert, Calif.
“I’d be honored to speak,” Clinton said in reference to Betty Ford’s funeral. “Is it OK that we and Mrs. O take two separate planes?”
