Operation Rolling Blunder becomes Operation Flying [Leap]

Flying buses all over the country = "Putting America Under the Bus"

If a Republican candidate did this those buses would be egged if not stoned by the leftist thugs! But Conservatives do not behave like that. Instead the fury rumbles in our minds over such audacity as this man using public property to further his political campaign!

...but I doubt he airlifted the stoopid bus.

I don't know about that.

If he hadn't had the buses flown from stop to stop wouldn't he be incessantly reminding us about the four jobs he 'created' for the people needed to drive the buses from stop to stop?

;-)

That’s a big bus. I doubt even a C17 is tall enough to carry it. Then where do you land a heavy lifter in rural mid-America? You can’t drop that bad boy on a 5000 ft. general aviation airport.

This just doesn’t smell right.

Wouldn’t “All Asshat — No cattle” be more accurate?

And, at those locations the crowds were ardent Obama supporters who would cheer him even if they actually saw him committing a criminal act.

So true. I can't get out of my head that video clip of Maxy Waters saying the tea party can "go to hell" and that woman in the background laughing hysterically. I think that if Obama came out and said exactly what he thinks and said that America can go to hell that it would get the same reaction from his sycophants.

I smell the birth of an urban myth too. I checked the Won's itinerary, it covered only 316 miles over 2 days, if you believe Google Maps/Directions (Cannon Falls, MN -> Decorah, Iowa -> Peosta, Iowa -> Alpha, Illinois).

What is weird is if you get the map of directions, it seems to skirt right around another state, some place called "Wisconsin". Wonder why they didn't stop there to claim 4 states instead of 3? /s

“Dat ho looks like she could kick yo ass up around yo ears.”

I think that’s the special chocolate donut she has for breakfast on the ground...she’s trying to beat slow Joe to it.

I don't doubt this story is true. I was invited to see Bush board Air Force One and fly out of Boeing Field. Across the field there was one or two C-17 used to fly the two helicopters, several vehicles, and the equipment the Secret Service took with them. All necessary to support his Western Washington itinerary. I could see Obama pushing it to the limits for his own gratification.

Actually they would. They have 55 foot bays and the height is more than sufficient.

Also they only require a runway 3078 foot long.

With 2 buses, one could be traveling to the next stop while the other is at a rally. At an average speed of 55 mph, a bus can cover a lot of miles in 24 hours. All it takes is several drivers.

This is actually a good idea since the price of diesel is going up. /sarc>

If we had a picture of Obamah & Mooch unloading ‘The Black Cloud” from Cargo-1 to take a 20 mile bus-ride into town that would be great.

“All Hat——No Cattle”

I thought he came up a hat short, but I see someone posted a picture that shows otherwise.

"Boasting bulletproof windows, five inch thick doors, and it’s own oxygen supply, the President has made the rounds for these speeches..."

Where the #3!! did the mis-labeled "journalist", Ben Howe, supposedly learn to write English?

It’s a misspelling, not a punctuation error.

And I wasn’t talking about posters on FR. I was talking about semi-bloggers/semi-journalists such as RedState. They should hold themselves to higher standards than the lamestream media.

I hadn’t even noticed that. I stopped reading at “it’s.”
