President Barack Obama and Senator John McCain agreeed that we don't need any new Marine One helicopters.

At the 'Fiscal Responsibility Summit' at the White House on Monday, McCain held up a program to replace the current Marine One helicopters as a military contract run amok. He pointed out that this would increase the cost to the tax payer from $6.1 billion to $11.2 billion.

The President agreed, and said his present helicopter seemed perfectly adequate to him. “Of course, I’ve never had a helicopter before, you know? Maybe I’ve been deprived and I didn’t know it. But I think it is in example of the procurement process gone amok. And we’re going to have to fix it.”
