With fuel prices and supplies on the top of many Americans' lists of concerns, shouldn't we, as ordinary citizens, have an expectation that politicians will get their butts off private and military jets and out of the monster SUV's in which we constantly see them....
Well, I'm not sure Presidential candidates really should be flying commercial business class. The entire plane would be filled up with Secret Service, staffers, and journalists anyway. 
Military planes have to fly anyway, simply for training and regular reasons, so letting them hop on board probably isn't a great problem either.
Those monster SUVs and limos are also far more secure (and logical) than seeing them all driving around in Smart cars - or biking to work. It's also pretty difficult to "up armour" a Prius.
It's a fact of life, sadly.
