You make the calll:
600+ = Number of private jets arriving at Dulles for Barack Obama’s Inauguration
300+ = Number of private jets arriving at Dulles for George W. Bush’s Inauguration
Bloomberg News: [Obama] set a record, topping the 300 the airport accommodated for President George W. Bush’s 2004 inaugural, Hamilton said.
Wall Street Journal: as many as 600 private jets were expected to touch down in D.C. for the [Obama] inauguration. The runway at Washington Dulles was closed Saturday to allow as many as 100 small planes to park. And the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority said it expected a total of 500 small jets to land from Jan. 16 through Jan 21.
Guess which was the green friendly inauguration?
Obama supporters used a recycled red carpet at the specially closed Dulles runway to save the environment.
