Obama cooks up a storm over helicopter
Forbes ^ | 08.17.09, 04:51 PM EDT | Thomson Reuters

A new high-tech helicopter that was designed to whisk U.S. President Barack Obama to safety in the event of a nuclear attack had a secret capability -- cooking.

The helicopter, one of the world's most technologically advanced, was scrapped by the Pentagon for its high cost. Obama revealed on Monday it would have had an onboard kitchen.

'Among its other capabilities, it would let me cook a meal while under nuclear attack. I'll tell you something. If the United States of America is under nuclear attack, the last thing on my mind will be whipping up a snack,' he quipped to laughter and applause from an audience of military veterans.

Obama is a uneducated MORON, the new Helicopter doesn't even have a onboard kitchen known to people who work on, and build aircraft as a "Galley"

‘I’ll tell you something. If the United States of America is under nuclear attack, the last thing on my mind will be whipping up a snack’

No, Zero, you’ll be too busy crafting an apology for the folks who fired the nukes at us.

“I’ll tell you something. If the United States of America is under nuclear attack...”

If he was awake, he would talking about what we should be doing as a country TO PREVENT THAT FROM HAPPENING like enforcing IAEA regulations on Iran and taking the fight to Al Qaeda before they smuggle one in up our gut.

Absolutely. He'd be too busy trying to figure out how to blame it on Bush.

WOW, how courageous of him (extreme sarcasm). The man knows, his people know, and all liberals know, that he is considered by military people as very weak no matter what he says and all what he does are just photo-ops and meaningless gestures to appear as if he is a strong Commander in Chief. Most people are not buying his silly propaganda, our military is not buying his silly propaganda, and our enemies are not buying his propaganda, our enemies know that he is very weak and because of this we are in extreme danger.

So the Kenyan thinks that the only time the copter will be used is in the event of a nuclear attack?

If this was an attempt at criticizing defense department spending, it’s pretty weak.

How about the cutting back the expensive retinue assembled by the First Kenyan?

Well duh, if the United States of America is under nuclear attack, Obama will be too busy pouring and drinking champagne to bother with whipping up a snack...

"And billions of dollars for a new presidential helicopter.
Now, maybe you've heard about this. Among its other capabilities,
it would let me cook a meal while under nuclear attack."

Do the new jets have a fully stocked kitchen along with a chef and food taster?
