Local man who calls global warming a national security threat uses helicopter to get to golf course on time

Earlier today President Obama was in Emmitsburg, Md. where he spoke to a crowd of 4000 at the Fallen Firefighters Memorial Service…

"These are extraordinary people that we honor here today," says Pres Obama of 87 fallen firefighters at memorial tribute in Emmitsburg, MD.

"It’s hard to think of a more selfless profession than firefighting," says @POTUS of the fallen and those now serving as firefighters.

…And then he used his helicopter to get to the golf course:

Marine One flew Pres Obama from Emmitsburg to @AndrewsAirForce for a round of golf. It's 58° and cloudy. Only 15% chance of rain.

After 3½ hours on at the golf course. Pres Obama back at the WH. Tomorrow: no events on his schedule at this writing.

He probably needs to rest up after his tiring afternoon.
