Sorry, but this claim is just plain incorrect.

The TFRs around Waco (during AF-1 arrival and departure) and Bush's ranch in Crawford were almost exactly the same as Obama's: 10 nautical mile no-fly zone, and a TFR out to 30 nautical miles.

See my previous post for the details and a diagram:

One big difference: Pilots can indeed fly into and out of the airport within Obama's no-fly zone, albeit with some heavy restrictions. There was nothing like that in Bush's no-fly zone over his ranch, although there were no busy airports within the 10 NM ring.

How does Obama compare to Clinton as far as flight restrictions when he vacationed in this same location?
