Bill claimed that the movies portrayed the president in a positive light because of his enthusiasm and competence as president.

And he didn't have sex with that woman....Miss Lewinsky.

Bill Clinton is a lying jerk!

The pilot caught the four wire. That's a failing grade

Any landing you walk away from is a damn good landing.

Sorry, no. It's whatever service is flying him. The helo is Marine One. The aircraft today was Navy (or Naval) One. When he flies in the 747, it's Air Force One. If he flies in a Coast Guard helo, it would be Coast Guard One.

Yes, my explanation was not detailed enough. It is whatever service happens to be flying him. So, the aircraft he was flying in today would be Navy One, if it was a Navy aircraft.

I stand corrected.

I bet that the crew never thought they would see Air Force One parked on their flight deck!!

It's NAVY ONE for this trip.

Today Rush Limbaugh played some clips from Hillary Clinton's speech in Connecticut. He said he didn't understand half of what she was saying and nor did I. From her screeching I could only determine - what - she's insane? Lord above, at least Joe Lieberman sounds sane. And Joe, being a Jew, fully understands terrorism and I believe would fight it. Not that I'd vote for him. President George W. Bush is my guy.

I don't think the Navy would allow Air Force jets to land on a carrier even if they could.

Sorry ... this aircraft was named "Navy One"

The helicopter is "Marine One"

The airplane is the ONLY "Air Force One"

"An honorable president..."

Do you remember when Bubba tried to claim he was on "active duty" as Commander-in-Chief so he couldn't be sued?

According to FOX - the President did fly about 1/3 of the way to the ship. Hot Dog - what a guy - I bet he loved every minute of it.

And ... for days we are going to be treated to seeing that airplane land on the carrier ... and everytime the liberals see it they will grimace ... which just makes my day!!!!!

Gee, those fellows don't seem to be smiling at all. I wonder why? Maybe it's because they saw the yellow streak down his back.

If they could I think they would. However, Air Force fighter jets don't have a tail hook and cannot be fitted with one without a drastic structural change. So you are correct with one little change. They won't even let them try.

You can imagine Hollywood making a movie about this guy. You cannot imagine the same for Bill Clinton.

Sure you can, don't you remember Primary Colors? LOL!! I love the scene where John Travolta is in the men's room whining "I can't catch a break!" when one of his many affairs threatens to become public.

(Keep in mind, that ANY aircraft that contains the President, is Air Force One for that mission)

Someone may have already corrected you on this, but this is not a true statement. If it is a Marine aircraft (such as the Marine chopper he flies on), it is "Marine One". If it is an Army aircraft, like an Army chopper, it is "Army One". And if a Navy aircraft, as in this case, it is "Navy One".

Anyone can land a jet. It's getting clear of the resultant fireball that's hard.
