This New Air Force Commercial Curiously Leaves Out a President; Can You Guess Which One?
TPNN ^ | Matthew Burke

Posted on 10/05/2014 3:00:52 PM PDT by Impala64ssa

Watch this inspiring new Air Force commercial, which was published barely three weeks ago. It features four presidents, with excerpts of uplifting speeches about this crucial branch of America’s military.

However, there’s one very recent commander-in-chief who’s not in this new 30-second commercial. Can you guess which one?

This apparent ommission could be intentional or not. Or, it could be a slight. Or, perhaps, the Air Force couldn’t find anything moving this president has said about the military, in this case the Air Force.

Which do you think it is?

“The Air Force or the Navy?”
That was supposed to be the joke. He knows so little about the military that he assumes anything that flies is Air Force. Guess I’d better not go into comedy.

All Democrats and Liberals hate the military which is saying they hate Americans who serve.

George H. W. Bush was missing - I guess that the Air Force has a thing about naval aviators.

In fact all the Navy presidents were missing - except for Kennedy.

And of course 0bama - who did not serve in the military.

They only wanted to use Americans that have been President.
The Kenyan Air Force will use Obama in their commercial.

My bro in law is an ex Navy carrier pilot so I have seen several people set straight RIGHT NOW for not knowing the difference.

At least Obama doesn’t call them the Air Forcee that’s better than he treats the Navy “corpsemen” and the OB/GYN people, who he knows as “ohbee-guynee”s.

They can’t find a quote where Obama says anything positive about the Air Force.

That was my first thought. I was surprised at no H.W. though.

If you haven’t seen Obama pronounce OB/GYN, then here is a treat for you.

Doubt President Bush piloted the COD aircraft. He had not flown since the late 60’s. He was not qualified to fly the S-3 Aircraft, and he was not carrier qualified.

GHWB isn’t in there. No one doubts his patriotism. And it’d be strange, IMO, to have the current CinC appear in this type commercial. Of course, in 5 years or whenever BHO is gone, it’s still not likely they’ll find anything pro-military or inspirational he’s ever said to use in an Air Force/Army/Navy/Marines/Coast Guard ad.

Yet, the AF seems to have the most liberals in it of all the services.
