If you haven't heard or seen the news today, the $787 billion stimulus plan was signed by President Obama in Denver today. Why Denver? President Obama had a trip already planned to Denver to "congratulate" the Denver Natural History Museum on going "Green". A big part of this Stimulus package is meant to create more Green jobs and new Green technologies. With the House and Senate passing the bill late last week, It made sense to do it in Denver since he was already going to be here. (The trip was not scheduled just to sign the bill here, as many think)
A perk of working at the Golf Course is it's proximity to the Air Force Base that the Government uses for Presidential visits. I got to see both Vice President Biden's plane and Air Force One land this afternoon, it was quite the site. It's amazing thepre- arrival prep, a helicopter flies around for about an hour checking the area around the runway and approach for would be assassins. Biden's plane then landed about 11:15 am, then a pair of fighter jets touched down and at about 11:30 Obama landed. Air Force One is HUGE, a Hummer next to Bidens' VW Beetle.
