Barack Obama takes first ride as US President on Air Force One

BARACK Obama has taken his debut flight as president on his new "spiffy ride" - the blue and white Boeing 747 which serves as Air Force One.
Mr Obama also took his first trip aboard Marine One - the helicopter which ferries the president around on shorter trips - this time from the White House to Andrews air force base outside Washington.
The President walked to the press cabin at the back of his new plane before taking off on the short hop to Virginia, where he was due to speak to Democratic members of the House of Representatives who were holding a retreat.
"I've got my spiffy jacket so I thought I'd come and show it off," he said, modelling his new blue air force souvenir, bearing the presidential seal and the words "Air Force One" and "Barack Obama".
"What do you think about this spiffy ride? It's not bad," he said.

We gotta be ready to pounce when this arrogant, loose cannon a$$hole makes even the first impeachable mistake, no matter how small. I'm seriously concerned that Americans are going to die in their own streets before this freak of nature can be removed from office.
