US President Barack Obama was briefly "relocated" by the Secret Service Friday after a single-engine plane entered restricted airspace over the US capital, his spokesman said.
"The president was briefly relocated out of an abundance of caution, as was the vice president," said White House spokesman Robert Gibbs, adding it was the first time in the Obama presidency he had heard of such precautions being taken.
Two Air Force F-16 fighters and two Coast Guard helicopters intercepted the small aircraft at about 12:30 local time (1630 GMT), a spokesman for the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) told AFP.
The pilot of the Piper Cub plane was contacted by radio and was immediately "compliant," Lieutenant Commander Gary Ross said.

I hope he wet himself
Wasn’t President Bush resoundingly ridiculed for something like this during 9/11?
He can “relocate” himself into outer space, as far as I’m concerned.
A pipeer cub is not 4 fully fueled airliners
He’s such a coward.
I’d bet there were big brown spots all the way to the plane and in the plane.
I had not realized he was in the country.
Do you think the SS agent put it in a paper bag to take home to Michell and her mom
Notice how “relocation” is being used.
Another word I have been seeing more and more with this corrupt administration is "sustain".p>
No, the 9/11 thing was that President Bush stayed airborne on Air Force One for a while after leaving Florida, then landed in Louisiana (Barksdale AFB I think) before heading back to Washington. The moonbats were all over him for not immediately flying back to Washington...this, considering that (a) there were erroneous reports of more aircraft being hijacked, (b) Air Force One can stay aloft indefinitely with aerial refueling, and (c) the plane has virtually the same communication capabilities as the White House. They wanted him to go back to Washington, while all the time praying a plane would hit the White House and kill him. It’s that simple.
What they did with Obama and his people today is SOP. They take the POTUS (and the TOTUS) down to whatever bunker they’ve got under the White House for safety until they’ve got the situation figured out. I’m pretty sure they had to do it with President Bush at least once, because it seems like every year or two, somebody improperly blunders into the restricted airspace over Washington and panic buttons get pushed.

I wish he’d “relocate” himself with his new terrorist friends in THEIR country and not return to the U.S..
The vermin Left said Bush was a coward for not going back to D.C. immediately after the 9/11 attacks. They won’t say that about Comrade Obama.
"QUICK! hide me, hide me"
Maybe ... Michelle might whip up a favorite recipe to have the sheeple eat up and feel “sustained”.
I noticed that Michele and her mom were left behind. That is appropriate. All Obama thinks about is HIMSELF.
Exactly my feeling. It sounded quite hopeful. O relocated away from the WH.
YES!
The media is so bowled over with whatever Michele wears so why not have THAT recipe featured in Good Housekeeping or some food magazine. They listen and believe it so why not eat it too?
I hear Obama has more secuirty than any President in our history. They think his SKIN COLOR is the reason to protect him MORE.
How silly. It’s all about Obama and his evil IDEOLOGY; not his “skin color”.
One can only hope ... .
Bringing him back certainly is.
Can't obammer just stay permanently relocated....say to iran?
