The co-pilot of the Germanwings flight that authorities believe was deliberately crashed in the French Alps was certified by U.S. aviation officials.

The co-pilot, 28-year-old Andreas Guenter Lubitz, was granted status as an airman by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) on Jan. 6, 2012, according to the agency’s online database.

French authorities have accused Lubitz of locking the captain of Germanwings Flight 9525 out of the cockpit and intentionally crashing the plane, killing all 150 people who were on board.

The FAA certification lists Lubitz as a “private pilot (foreign based)” who is proficient in single engine landings and gliders.

“English proficient,” the document says. “Issued on basis of and valid only when accompanied by Germany. Pilot license number(s) 27788 9460. All limitations and restrictions on the German pilot license apply.”

Just refining this a bit:

What the difference between Germanwings co-pilot Andreas Lubitz and Barack Hussein ØBama?

One controls a ship and establishes a descent gradual enough so as not to alarm a majority of the passengers, and then rides that ship into the ground.

The other one is a crazed muslim with a case of suicidal Instant Jihad Syndrome.

One controls a ship of state, the other a ship of the air.

Eh. Let me pull out from between the lines that which you were supposed to read:

One controls a ship and establishes a descent gradual enough so as not to alarm a majority of the passengers, and then rides that ship into the ground.

The other controls a ship of state and establishes an economic descent gradual enough so as not to alarm a majority of the citizens (debt spending, freebies for all, but the effect is a declining monetary environment) and then rides that ship of state into the ground... as a crazed muslim with a case of suicidal Instant Jihad Syndrome.
