Wonder if there would be any political repercussions if Obama had shot down this grandmother's homebuilt while he was at his $35,000 per person birthday bash?

It is not worth one ounce of jet fuel flying a plane to do anything for the worthless t*rd in the White House.

And, it’s interesting to note that that woman pilot has demonstrated far more talent and ability than the Dung-Beetle-in-Chief him (or more properly) itself.

Sorry, the truth hurts sometimes.

NORAD has turned into the “Praetorian Guard” of the air for the “Establishment” and the “Establishment’s “Special” “Events”.

Another NORAD spokesman said there are ‘no lines drawn in the air’ when a temporary flight restriction is put in place.

The whole idea of temporary restricted airspace whenever POTUS/TOTUS travels to some city or venue is both stupid and disruptive.

They say she didn't seem shaken, but was surprised.

She's pretty cool-headed then. Having two fighter jets buzz you sounds like a pucker factor moment to me.

She has probably flown in the same airspace hundreds of times with no problem until AF1 comes to town and puts a 100 mile diameter no fly zone over her little grass patch.

She should have checked the NOTAMS

Obama still sucks donkey d***.
