I don’t believe that Obama gives a rat’s @$$. THere could have been multiple “bombers” readying to explode the a/c they were on, and none of the pilots were alerted to the fact. Sickening.

I dont know but 128 air craft does not sound like very many planes, I would think there would be a lot more...

When Obama addressed the nation he said the first thing he did was to insure the safety of all planes in the air.

That was such baloney. He wasn’t even informed until 90 minutes after it happened.

The irony of O’s little daughter saying she liked that it was easier getting on a plane with her dad President.

Right now - kinda late - there's some 3000+ flights in the air across the US - 128 midday? 3 per state? Not even close.
