Obama On Board

Our friends over at the National Geographic Channel are hopping on board the presidential news cycle – literally – with their in-depth program, premiering this weekend, all about Air Force One. National Geographic was there when President Obama boarded the plane for the first time, and the clip above shows him meeting the pilot and staff – and checking out the menu from the in-flight kitchen (he likes his burgers medium-well, with cheddar cheese and fries).

Visit the Channel site to get the inside scoop on the plane: I love the virtual tour of the jet’s layout, and the awesome paper airplane models you can download and build. Plus, who knew that you could follow Air Force One on Twitter?

Watch On Board Air Force One on the National Geographic Channel on January 25th and 28th, at 8pm EST.

    Interesting show. It makes Obama more closer to us.

    I wonder if, when Obama slashes the military’s budget and leaves us helpless before the terrorists, he also cuts his own personal travel budget and tones down the luxury this plan affords him. Somehow I doubt it.

    LOL! I wouldn’t call sleeping in a twin bed luxury. And no one has used AF1 for personal travel more than W. He spent 30% of his presidency on vacation.

    The more I see of Obama, the more I like him. AF1 is more about security and function than luxury–not to say it doesn’t have its perks.
    Poor John. Poor, sad, little John…

    I do think that it is nice that he is making himself more like “the average man” but i think that it is realy sad when people know how he likes his hamburger cooked and what he likes with it. I think that every one should back off a little bit and at least let him go on a plane without some one interveiwing him or making a video out of it.
