What a pinhead! How does that prove that IT WAS JUST $100K??? It doesn't. Try again! The cost was 10x that:

boston.com

Democrats on the House Appropriations Committee said that the total could top $1 million, because the trip required delaying the USS Abraham Lincoln for a day as it steamed from the Persian Gulf to San Diego, an extra day of air patrols, plus presidential security, and the cost of the flight itself. The lawmakers issued a news release headed ''shameless'' in large red type. It cited the ''nerve required to delay the return of 4,000 sailors to their families after 10 months at sea in order to stage [a] photo-op.''

There, now that was easy. :-)
