Will zeeblebot be the first RHPer to call for Obama's impeachment for perjury? Or did you already, sorry, I can't remember. Back in late January perhaps?

Well, if it was Air Force One doing the flyby then I presume Obama must have known about it - he would have been there!

Your "Shows how much you know. I voted for Gore in 2000" response to Uzles' comment that : "You'll have your chance to vote for another republican puppet in 4 years" was disingenuous.
Typical in fact of a republican, like yourself.

As for your further claims that "Bush is a good person"...which planet are you ...[text shortened]...

"You'll have your chance to vote for another republican puppet in 4 years" implies that I mindlessly always vote Republican. My point about 2000 was that this implied assertion is incorrect.

Your "typical" comment is, of course, a mindless slur.

There are two 'air force one' aircraft. When Obama travels, both must fly. (A safety thing I am told)

If one of the planes is unavailable, Obama cannot fly.

In which case the use of one plane (as in this particular case) must be scheduled well in advance and checked with Obama to insure there is no conflict with his personal schedule so he knows he will not be able to flly. Question answered.

2 Equally Good Ideas:

1. Get someone who looks just like Obama, and perspiring a lot, with a long beard and turban, praying and with a large rucksack.
Send him on the new york subway and enjoy the public reaction.

2. i've got a bad cold right now. so why dont i go on the london underground tube trains, sneezing and coughing and blowing my nose and enjoy the public's reaction.

If it was that low flying, could they not see it was Obmama's plane ?

Could they also not see the F16 plane behind ?

The F16 plane made it more scary. I'm sure people thought it might have been a hijacked plane headed for a building that the F16 was reluctant to shoot down because it was a populated area. After 9/11 it's hard to imagine anyone seeing that sight and not at least considering the possibility that they were under attack.

And, the plane does not have a big sign on the side "This is the President's Plane." From a distance it looks like any other commercial airliner.

It was OK'd by the White House Director of Military Office, Louis Caldera, who should be fired for doing such a bone-headed thing. He clearly has no common sense.
