    You expect rational thought to be taking place at that point?

    The President of the United States has more important business than personally seeing to the 4 jets, 16 helicopters and dozens of vehicles assigned to him. Everyone involved has said it happened outside of his knowledge. A probe is being conducted and everything will come out. You think Obama is lying? Make your case if you know something else. After all you're "pretty sure". :wink:

    Well, you're pretty wrong on this one, amigo. The White House Military Office is the specific part of the Executive Branch that handles the President's Air Force and Marine aircraft. It's directed by a civilian.

    From www.whitehouse.gov

    Making Air Force One publicity photo's sounds trite, but it is actually part of the WHMO director's job. This New York photo op was just a bad decision that should have been kicked upstairs for review and certainly should have had the approval of the Mayor before considering it. It could have been done the right way, with a lot of public notice to ally fears and major publicity featuring lots of photo ops for regular citizens on the ground and much assurance that it was nothing to be alarmed about.

    This Caldera guy's job is too important to be making bad decisions like this one.

    Haven't you ever seen a movie. You always run around yelling and screaming when something bad is going on. It's absolutely mandatory.

    1st Point of order: You are pretty easy to bait amigo. I knew what you were going to respond with before you did.:wink:

    #2. Make my case? Sure, I'll just call ol BO right now, get him on speaker and have him admit that he knew what was going on. Come on Red, that is the point of all this "anger" it will never be printed and of course nothing will come of the "investigation" because that is how it is supposed to work. Do you really think "everyone" involved or better yet "anyone" involved is going to out the prez? You know this won't happen man. The last thing we need is an Obama body count to jerk with.:grin:

    #3. Sure the prez has more important stuff to do, like spend trillions yes with a (T) however I doubt that this schtick in the WHMO can send up his airbus without his knowledge whenever he feels like it. BO may not be out there changing the oil or deicing the wings but he knows when and where it is going wheels up.

    #4. I may be "pretty wrong" but I can tell you what I'm not moustache man and that is very naive.

    Good day to you Rojo, I'll await your rebuttal sir:thumb:

    Not only that, running is the correct thing to do. Expanding fireballs are easily outrun. If you're running through a tunnel, you may also find a side room no one else notices, in which you can hide. Doesn't matter much if it has a door or not, as the fireball/robot insect swarm/flood sticks to the main corridor no matter what. Finally, if you're in a situation in which you can be harmed by sunlight, it's easy to outrun the edge of the advancing dawn.

    You are so mean. I think, I'm gonna cry.

    It's a fun fantasy for you, I'm sure. But to come up with this based on zero evidence and all accounts to the contrary makes you extremely likely to also be a believer in Bigfoot, Kennedy assassination conspiracy theories, and Cap'n Crunch.

    How about gullible? :grin:

    DING, DING, DING! Gullible Alarm! Gullible Alarm!

    The guy has four 747's available that can become Air Force One whenever he steps aboard and another 16 helicopters that become Marine One. You think he gives a Rat's Ass which one is the one he's about to step onto or where it has been since he saw it last? Ya' think he might have a boy that takes care of all that chit for him?

    Nah, no bigfeets and Cap'n Crunch is pretty good but was never fond of the peanut butter one. Oh and you are right, he does have all those neat toys and I'm sure he doesn't give a rats ass whats going on with them, WHEN THEY ARE ON THE GROUND!! But if one is going to take off and buzz the statue of liberty (negative ghost rider the pattern is full) I'm going to put my chips on he knows about it.

    Sure this WHMO dude will get canned and end up handing out recruiting posters somewhere and maybe years later he will write a book. Who knows, who really cares. I'm going to think and believe that he knew about it and won't just ingest everthing coming from the white house as absolute.

    Oh and, have they found the honey island swamp monster yet?:grin:
