Unscheduled Landing
Barack Obama just spoke to the press after his MD-80 Midwest charter with 44 people aboard (including 9 staffers) was forced to make an "unscheduled landing" in St. Louis due to a technical problem.
Here's the brief exchange, per NBC/NJ's Athena Jones:
Obama: We're doing ok! A lot of excitement, huh?
(Walks up to the camera)
Obama: Everything's fine guys. Just thought we'd spice things up a little bit today. Don't you think?
Q: Were you frightened. Were you worried?
Obama: Anytime a pilot says that something is not working the way its supposed to, then you know, you make sure you tighten your seat belt.
Q: You get a little nervous?
Obama: Everything seemed under control, the pilots knew what they were doing.
Q: Have you ever had to do this before? An unscheduled landing on your charter?
Obama: Not yet, this is a first. All right?
And, per Jones, the latest on the plane's tech problem ... We were headed to Charlotte, NC. The pilot, whose official title is the first officer, said on takeoff they noticed there was a small problem with the controllabilty of the pitch of the plane, something he referred to as the "nose up and nose down" mode. He said the problem appeared to have been corrected as the plane descended and assured us there was no need to assume brace positions. A technician is looking at the plane on landing. Obama is sitting up front after talking to the press and the pilot. It's unclear whether Charlotte event is still on, but are told we'll have an update soon.
Dick Cheney did it.
When it comes to controlling the pitch of an airplane there are NO 'small problems', and that goes double for the MD-80. I'm glad everyone's back on the ground safely.
I'm paranoid ANYTIME a prominent Democrat is on an airplane that has a "technical glitch." Remember Senator Wellstone? His death was strangely convenient for GOP interests, and there's a lot of people that feel that the right questions were never answered in that incident. I dunno if I actually believe Wellstone was murdered (or Obama was the target of an attempt)... I'm just sayin', and stuff.
If the deep state decides they are going to mess with Obama with intentions to blackmail him into getting their way... they better understand the American people are going to tear them a new one if they do something to Obama.
Calls to mind John F Kennedy's jnr. suspicious death over Martha Vineyard doesn't it?
Unlike John's John's death however I guess if something should happen to Obama the Blacks would take to streets to show their anger if they thought he had been got at by the repugs.
