Unfair attack on Obama... by a metaphor.

Air Force One won't fly!

Remember when Air Force One eagerly stepped up to the demands of propaganda — even beyond the call of duty?

Bob Boyd said...: Those flaps are left over from the Bush Administration. Obama inherited them.; 11/3/14, 8:57 AM
Bruce Hayden said...: Except, technically, it probably isn't AF1 if it can't fly. As I understand it, AF1 is the designation of whatever AF plane the President is currently flying, and that would have made the C-32 he did fly AF1.; 11/3/14, 9:01 AM
Anonymous said...: Bruce is faster to the draw.

AF1 could crash, but AF1 is never broken on the runaway, because if it was, it would not be AF1.

AF1 always flies.

Thank you to whoever kept saying the Progs want women available for taxes and sex,; 11/3/14, 9:43 AM
n.n said...: Ah, yes. The day that Air Force One did a reenactment of 9/11. It was an unexpected celebration of an anniversary on the wrong day. History records it as a UFO, which may or may not have been emblazoned with the Democrat ass insignia.; 11/3/14, 9:47 AM

CWJ said...: I clicked through to the WP article. Where was the attack, even metaphorically? I understand the won't fly snark just fine, but this looked like pretty straight reporting to me.; 11/3/14, 10:11 AM

Mark said...: This man no longer works in Obama's America either.; 11/3/14, 3:01 PM
Mark said...: Also from that Times story:

Mr. Tate said the C.D.C. and the contractor still had not provided him with an explanation about why he was fired. Making matters worse, his 27-year-old son — who had worked at the C.D.C. as a contractor for seven years — was unexpectedly dismissed two weeks after the incident for “downsizing” reasons, Mr. Tate said.

Sounds like the Chicago Way.; 11/3/14, 3:04 PM
n.n said...: Mark:

As I recall, the "Chicago Way" was arrested, while in another instance was forced out of the administration. According to the certificate of live birth (birth certificates must have been in short supply), we are dealing with the Hawaiian Way.; 11/3/14, 5:04 PM
