Well, I wouldn't call Obama a normal person. He's the President of the United States. A private individual fly's around in a helicopter paid for by himself or his company. The president's helicopter is paid for by you and me.

It is perceived that the president is worthy of a private helicopter or his own 747, maybe even escorted by fighter jets, because he has an important role to control the USA. On the contrary, from a Libertarian perspective, the president's role is to oversee Congress to make sure they do their job properly. He's not suppose to dictate or control the country. Libertarians want the country to run itself. The gov'ts job is to ensure the laws and the rights & freedoms of individuals are enforced within our Republic.

you know how the president arrives to the White house (his house), in a helicopter. What normal person flies around in a chopper? Sure a few people do. But I think this display of power is really arrogant and is purposefully done to intimidate citizens.
