Obama's Airrcraft Suffers a Mechanical Problem
« on: July 07, 2008, 10:09:18 AM »
Made an emergency landing in St Louis. Problem corrected itself in flight.


I wonder just how long it will be until the DUmmies  consider this a part of the VRWC ??

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

They'll use this as another excuse for the re-regulation of the airline industry.

6. What I mean by that is that we can no longer depend on the MSM
 to tell us what is really going on. Journalists/newscasters no longer ask questions or investigate anything anymore - they simply repeat what they've been told.

I wonder if Sen. Obama or his plane was threatened in someway.

9. WTF! Cool off, dude!
 I don't know what the Obama Camp has said - I only know that we can't count on the MSM to tell us the truth about anything.

For all we know, Obama's plane was grounded to secure his safety because there was some kind of threat made against him or his family. And they are using this malfunction story as a cover. That's what I meant.

You need to take that chip off your shoulder, and maybe shove it up your, well.... you know where!

I find it hilarious that the DUmmies are already invoking the Wellstone crash!!! Did they NOT learn to read ?? Wellstone's crash was due to inclement weather (icing conditions). Many aircraft crash are due to icing. Can we say, "Buddy Holly, the Big Bopper, and Ritchie Valens" ?? Ohh, how quickly we forget general aerodynamics.  :whatever:

If I'm not mistaken, wasn't the pilot of Wellstone's plane only VFR rated and shouldn't have been flying in inclement weather.

While flying from Chicago to Charlotte, the pilot's first officer announced at 9:40 ET, that they were experiencing "controllability issues" with the MD-80, describing it as a "minor little problem" but significant enough to force the unscheduled stop.

Ah HAAA!  "controllability issues" = the plane kept turing left.   :-)

Well, you know, the VRWC does have an office in the basement of your building. It's right next to the Roswell office.

Well, for one to understand general aerodynamics one has to understand complex mathematical equations. For one to understand complex mathematical equations, one has to have attended AND participated in a qualified educational system that taught sound complex mathematical equations and that one also has to posses a modicum of common sense.

Sorry DUmmys, Gay African womYn bong-n-bead art studies will NEVER give you the foundation to understand complex mathematical equations let alone general aerodynamics.
Bummer eh?

We get 5 of those in a day here from Japan Air Lines.  Their not that old.  Production didn't stop until 1999 on them.

What they didn't report was there was someone out on the wing and it was trying to rip it apart. One of the passengers got a picture of it. Here is the one picture from the VRWC office. The passenger was said to say that the person on the wing kept crying out about buying tickets on Priceline .com.
