you forgot:
the pilot grabed the #4 cable (implying it was the last when in fact it was the first)
The crew was unhappy about being at sea an extra day.
Only republicans were allowed on deck

Here's the counter:
The Commander In Chief wanted to show the pilots who risked their lifes 3400 times taking off and landing from that deck flying sorties over Iraq that he knew 100% what they were doing. By making the cable landing the President did what leadership 101 tells you to do which is to lead by example !

Yeah ....I saw that it picked up ON THE LAST WIRE.....I bet the pilot was ready to punch up those throttles....wow what a photo op that would have been..
Anyway....a more knowledgeable poster mentioned that the third one is best....I believe for ease of turn around at that position on the flight deck.
On another note....looks like the stock market is starting to move up....lets see....this time next year should be well into the bull rally and a bear on rats

Actually, NAVY 1 caught the number four wire, which IS the last wire to catch before a bolter.
