Yes, it’s comforting to know that should Premier Hussein lead us into a global world war via his utterly feckless and clueless policies, he and his pals will escape the mushroom clouds that engulf and incinerate the rest of us.

So the proud and lucky occupant can be president of the cinder ball or rubble field that once was America. Gimme a friggin’ break ... we spend way too much time protecting their sorry butts as it is. As the young lady in Belgium recently said, “Who needs a government?” It is vastly overrated.

I just hope the teleprompter is safe.

If the stuff really hits the fan, I think we can get along without Obama. What ever happened to the captain going down with the ship?

Question: how can it stay airborne for days I wonder? Its a modified 747 and they can’t stay up for days.

The plane has been around for years ( maybe not this current version ). I used to listen to its flights on HF. If memory serves, the codename ( callsign ) was Looking Glass.

But did they account for the weight of Michelle’s fat booty arse?

“Unit Cost: $223.2 million (fiscal 98 constant dollars)

Inventory: Active force, 4”

Good thing we have four of these babes. That way members of Congress will also be saved. I mean, got to save the best and brightest to lead the recovery after total nuclear destruction.

We really don’t need any of these guys. We’ve got the Constitution. Pick people out of the phone book...they couldn’t be any worse than some of these clowns...especially POSOTUS. Patriots/Americans will step up.

(thanks for posting, sukhoi-30mki)

And why do we know this?? Why does anyone know this? Regardless of the president’s party, why is this public knowledge?

“...165,000 pounds of advanced electronics.”

Really? That’s going to take a lot of fuel to keep it up there then. And if it’s a real ‘apocalypse’, where are the refueling planes going to take off from? It would probably be money better spent keeping the whole country safe.

Hope they defund this nonsense someday. The Federal Government has certainly become a thing apart from the people: Government of the Feds, by the Feds, and for the Feds.

I want to see the Obama gear up and lead a few ops FROM THE FRONT in any of the vital, national interest hot spots we’re fighting in at this time. Women in combat? You bet! Put a helmet on Michelle (may not fit in the rest of the uniform) and send her out on Afghan convoys with the rifle and side arms and other ordinances of her choice. Let her eat a few MREs in the sand. Then tell these two bozos to come back and talk to me. Sheesh!

The plane should fit the occupant,the case of the Kenyan mental cripple,would call for a rubber-band powered balsa wood toy.

This way, if the world goes nuclear ballistic, Obama can still make his NCAA picks safe and secure.

Then we can all relax. The President and Joint Chiefs will be safe!
