LOL!!! Hillary?!? What are you doing here???
Who cares. What one **can** do and what is **reality** are often times two different things. Many Freepers don't understand this. Therefore they do things like vote for Mr. 0.0001% candidate thinking that they made a difference, etc.
I'll keep living in the real world, thank you.
Since you brought her up, do you think Hillary would let pilots carry guns? I don't.

Here's reality: Even if the president doesn't care about doing the right thing and caters solely to popular opinion, there is overwhelming public support for armed pilots.
It was public pressure that caused Congress to pass the armed pilots initiative in the first place. Bush is (for once) going against popular opinion and spending his precious 'political capital' on this issue. Why would he do that? The obstruction by his inferiors is designed to protect him from the political fallout from his unpopular stance.
