Obama’s Plane Strikes Parked Plane on Runway

And, his pilot does not know how to drive.

dear Barack; Even if I disagree on policy-stay safe. We don’t want anything to happen to any of the candidates.

Give the man a break. Geez, folks, some of you are SO quick to be critical and mean. I feel for our nation, when the inmates run the asylum.

Obama’s campaign is not playing the race card. If anything it is Hillary’s Campaign
thank the lord you are safe Barack, enjoy the day off before you win Nevada

Ah…….. the new American way. Blame the passenger for the fact the pilot hit the other plane. Makes perfect sense to me.

Oh dear…pardon me whilst I dust off my hillary hanky and cry….

Wait he is riding in a plane? That is not very green! What about his carbon imprint? We are all doomed by his careless actions. ; )~

This is not even worth commenting on…just a little fender bender….whats the big deal?….who cares?….Black man as Pres….or a woman?….glad we have choices!

must be nice to have money,,,

How many times do planes hit one another during the course of the day ay any major airport amd we never hear about it.

If he his pilot can’t fly a plane correctly, then how does he think he can be the president?? (Just kidding — making a stupid comment that I would expect from someone in the media.) Go Obama!!!! Yes, we can! Glad you’re ok!

I don’t plan to vote for either Obama or Hillary, but accidents happen all the time. I’m just glad that no one was hurt in this one.

Wow I wonder when some serious journalist will ask him what his take is on the current conditions in Iraq. I mean they have political reconcilition going on in that country today. The surge has defeated AQI and the insurgency. Iraq is close to being that Free democracy capable of sustaining itself and serving as an allie in the terrorist war against America so .. when will he get asked… Mr. Obama is it time to CHANGE, CHANGE, CHANGE course in Iraq or did the Presidents goals succeed and will you as President be able to handle a political hot potatoe like George W. Bush has? In other words when you stand on your convictions and the poltical winds blow against you can we count on you to do the Right thing? or will you fold like you just did to your wife’s bidding?

I hope his wife is prepared to let him work weekends when there’s an international crisis unfolding.
The U.S. Presidency is not a 60 hour/week (some weekends) kind of job.
You’re the President 24/7, unless you’re unconscious.

thank god you are safe Barack.
No one wants a future leader to get hurt
enjoy your day of rest

It’s just the Washington insider trying to blame things on the change candidate. It’s not like they haven’t done it in the past.

If Hillary was on her way home and her pilot had an accident would she or her family at home wanting to see her be to blame? Is it really Barack’s fault that Al Sharpton pulled out the race card? Would Hillary not be worth voting for if Kerry endorsed her instead of Barack? (she was seeking it too) It doesn’t matter what either of the two of them do the media will make it seem much worse than it is and then people on here will twist and turn it to make the candidate they are NOT voting for look even worse. Again may I remind you people that there are more serious issues than Hillary’s tears or Barack’s pilot. Issues like global warming, education, the economy etc. I have never come on here to see any of that discussed just childish remarks about the opponet. Hopefully no matter who we get they will also focus on the maturity of some Americans.

the pilots spoke eloquently of the beauty of flying. they hoped for a safe flight. they just didn’t have any experience.

Obama will not be stopped. Hillary for all her caterwauling about “experience”, won’t allow anyone to corroborate her’s by opening the Clinton Library files for inspection. (look it up!) Obie’s got vision, guts and is not intimidated by the corrupt Clinton smear machine!!

I’m glad Mr. Obama was okay. I like him alot. He reminds me a lot of my Dad.

So we have one that would put his Wife ahead of his work and another if she does not get her way cries.
I think the country can do better than that.

Wonder if it was the same pilot who landed at the wrong airport in Iowa several weeks ago?

I don’t want any person who refuses to salute OUR flag as president. I don’t want any person who insists that he be sworn into office by using a koran instead of a bible to be OUR president. This person did both. This is still AMERICA not the middle east. DO NOT VOTE FOR BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA.
In addition I don’t want any lying, thieving N Y senator who has been bought and paid for by the Communist Chinese to be our president. Has this woman EVER told the truth or is she just like the other clinton.? She lies to AMERICA every day and still the media trys to tell people she walks on water.
It may be time for a woman president or a Black/Arab president but not neither one of these is that person.

Perhaps the writer could do just a tiny bit of research. No planes park on a runway. On the ramp perhaps, but not a runway.

The pilot was in a hurry. Very unfortunate it happened. I am glad that no one was hurt. It is hard to maneuver a large airplane in close quarters. It will be an expensive repair for both airplanes. I imagine that the pilot is embarrassed, it could happen to any of us. I got an airplane stuck in the mud once, was in a hurry then too.

Reading many of these comments makes me glad I am an American – NOT!

With all this so called global warming why doesn’t he fly commerially and he could save the planet and talk to voters!

It looks like Obama’s pilot has about as much experience flying a plane, as Obama has in Washington.

I hope they left a note on the other plane’s windshield!

May that day never come when Obama or Clinton are in the oval office

Hillary did not put down Martin Luther King, she was just defining the real goals of MLK from the fictitious ones Obama was utilizing. And Hillary Clinton helped in MLK’s movement. From what I remember, MLK wasn’t always hinting at race for his deterrence like Obama’s camp does. MLK was more congenial toward whites and blacks.
Obama should stop accusing and pull himself up. That’s how minorities have prevailed in the past. Give us something tangible: a plan for “change” for one thing. Hillary has presented at least two very specific ones. At a time, arrogance and self-righteousness ends, and action begins.
Hillary ‘o8.

Can you imagine the horror if something had happened to Mr. Obama in that incident? From conspiracy theories to mass mourning, it would have been terrible for our country.

Politicans Motto:
DO AS WE SAY NOT AS WE DO

It was a clip, not a strike. It was during the plane taxiing on the ground as it was POSITIONING to park. No one felt it. They did not even know it occurred until someone looked out of the window. Thank God no one got hurt. Now, how many REPUBLICANS are hear adding innuendos to the story with their 2 cents worth just to Throw dirt about OBAMA. ‘My, my what a tangled web you weave when first you practice to deceived.’

My question is “who parked the plane that hit poor Obama. . . can you imagine it hitting him like that while he was taxiing?” After all this our last great Democratic candidate for random change and ultimate taxation.
PS: If the Obama or Clinton camps are already using the race card in the primary, imagine what it will be like with either of them as President. Nothing uniting here (just more of hte great devide). . . hmmm, maybe we need someone like Ron Paul to calm things down and move America forward.

The Clintons aren’t racists, but they will use race if they have to in order to win. They will say or do anything to stay in power. They disgust me.

Gee, obama says he is going to free us from the Tyranny Of Oil! Now we see, when the people have been freed of the Tyranny Of Oil, only the Tyrants will have oil to fly around in their Gulfstreams. Can you spell Lib-Hypocrite?

I just knew the left wing would get him in trouble!

Guys (and Gals),
You are all wrong. If there is anything to be learned from the media, and the Democrats, it is all George Bush’s fault.
Why is it cold in winter? George Bush.
Why did Katrina hit New Orleans? Bush.
Why the the Japanese bomb Pearl Harbor? George Bush.
Why are the New England Patriots undefeated? George Bush.
Why did the Mitchell Report name Roger Clemens and Barry Bonds as steroid users? George Bush.
Why did Barrack Hussein Obama’s plane clip another while taxiing? George Bush.

The posters here are amazing.
Wonder why this country is messed up?
Look at 90% of those posting here. They can not even stay on subject.
This article was about a plane accident, not Clinton, Race or anything else but the accident.
Accidents happen, that is life. Get over your selves and learn to read and stay on subject. You might just elect the right person to office.

a couple of posters got it straight…there are NO planes parked on runways. And I recall Obama’s pilot flew him to the wrong airport a while ago; wonder if this is the same one. the pilot seems rather careless. and I assume Obama’s going to cover the repairs to the other plane. Accidents happen, but two plane-related mistakes in the past several months points to either a very careless pilot, or a very clueless person using said careless pilot. Hey, investigative journalists…any curiosity toward checking this out?

Obviously Bush’s fault…

I think this election is unique because of the history-making attached to it. Hillary and Obama are nice candidates making this history. I wish I could vote for both. To hell to those who play racial politics. Americans should stop being destructively conservatives.

This is getting scary people. In reading through all these posts, several times the Lord and God were used in reference of thanks, but were not capitalized, but Barack was….. hhmm, so you are thanking someone for Baracks safety, but put more importance on Barack than God and Lord. Something wrong with this picture.

OK, everybody that is making a big deal out of this accident that has ever had an auto accident, can’t fly a plane, has ever had an accident in a plane, ever been ticketed in a plane, boat or car, etc., please shut up!
Everyone else, please grow up and find a real issue to to talk about, or…yes…please shut up!

We don’t want anyone hurt at a time when we need everyones input!

It’s all George Bush’s Fault!!!!!!

Thank God he’s okay, but let’s be reminded Obama shouldn’t be in a rush to travel be it back to his family or the campaign events. Take time boy, becuz we love you.
Likewise, the pilots should also be reminded that if they are tire, they need to speak out. This was a careless mistake and caution should be taken that is never repeated again. Thanks!

I vote for Ron Paul. A straight answer is what you will get from him.

its good

It’s awesome that he is trying to strike a balance with family time while engaged in this election process. I’m glad everybody is okay!

A GII – Whatever happened to whips and chains?

I guess pilot won’t save lot of money by switching to Geico with this driving record. First land at wrong airport. Second, sideswipe another plane. What next; run out of fuel on way to Hawaii?
Definitely time for new pilot.

People, let’s not forget…the media picks on whoever has the lead and gets nominated. The are only picking on Hillary right now because she’s an easy target but if Obama gets the nomination they will dig for dirt on him and treat him very badly in the media. The media industry is in such disarray right now that they will do and say anything to get a ratings edge. He will get brutalized in the media because they will take off the kid gloves by that time and start the hard-hitting journalism.

Until any of you know all the details about the aircraft collision, your comments about it is just a bunch of gobbledegook.
If the story is about the collision, then the fact that Obama was aboard the aircraft, is only coincidental. I am glad that no one was injured. The pilot in command at the time is in deep doo doo with the FAA.
Obama seems like a likable sort of a guy unlike Hillary who seems like the wicked witch of the north east.
Vote for whoever is the Republican candidate for President, or God help us all.

I know there are many Obama supporters who would like to draw analogies between Obama’s campaign for POTUS and John F. Kennedy but remember one thing…JFK came from a long line of business leaders, politicians, etc…and he himself had combat experience in the military. Obama is a gifted man but doesn’t have the same “type” of experience that JFK had when he became president. Although I wish Obama well in his pursuit of the office I can’t help but think that another term in the US Senate and the added experience gained from that extra term would’ve helped him immensely. He chose to run a bit too soon in my opinion. He should have served another Senate term then went for it.

Any organization that restricts their membership to one race is a racist organization.
A GII is a smaller jet aircraft and easy to park if the ground crew is giving the correct direction. Maybe the ground crew was Karl Rove. Live on conspiracy nuts.

Why do politics in America make people so stupid? Why does everyone become so hateful and irrational? When will you poeple stop and thing and understand that if we don’t pull together as We the People, and do it fast, this country is doomed. Criminals from both parties, posing as politicians, are using your ignorance against you. The sooner you get that through your head the sooner you can begin to change it.

Barack is no dummy but he is up against the sneakiest, most conniving, most manipulative, most calculating and low-down politicians to ever walk the face of this Earth — the Clintons. They will find a way to beat him. The Clinton’s “play dumb” and wait for you to make an innocent mistake then they pounce on you like Mountain Lions.

Let the writer’s strike go on. We don’t need late night monologues.
We got the “User Comments” on every news story. I don’t even read the stories anymore.
Thank you all for fantastic entertainment.

It had to be the right wing. They have no use for it.

I wish Senator Obama would ask supporters, opposers, friends, foes, and all others to refrain from interjecting his race into the campaign.
Since he has one parent from a dark-skinned race and one from a light-skinned race, it is clear that he is 50% of each. To call him of “either” race is disingenuous and, frankly, irrelevant.
Of course, it would be nice to see his mother in the campaign some time, right?

After reading some of these luny responses, we should be fighting a war on idiots instead of a war on terror.

What’s of much greater concern than the inadequacies of the candidates and the juvenile comments by our “news” media is the very poor job our NEA dominated education system is performing.
Many of the posted comments are riddled with bad spelling, wrong words used for the meaning intended, and incorrect punctuation. Our Nation is “dumbing down” and our education system is aiding and abetting that dumbing down.
America needs a strong leader who can go over the idiots’ in Congress heads (yeah, like the Great Communicator of the 1980′s) and force a real change. What changes do I suggest? Dump the IRS and replace income tax with a national sales tax, get the Supreme Court out of policy decisions and get back to their intended purpose: rule on the constitutionality of laws passed by Congress. How about setting a standard a wannabe elected “official” needs to meet before he can stand for election? How about restoring the First Amendmend by repealing McCain-Feingold? What about performance measurements and criteria every “educator” must meet to teach his or her subject matter? Why not have a merit system for teachers? Pass a test or go find another job?That’s just for a start. Add in closing the borders to illegal immigrants and start enforcing the law as it pertains to illegals.
Not the President’s job, you say? If it is not, then whose is it? There are many who judge the candidates on their stance on abortion. So you do think that it is the President’s job, to ban abortion? Wake up, he does not make the laws, Congress does. The President, among other duties, is the Executive who enforces laws of the Country.
Before you vote, educate yourself. Don’t vote on emotion, vote on the facts as you understand them. Look at the whole candidate, his record, his achievements, his or her statements compared to his or her actions, past and present.
Ronnie, where are you when we need you? Is there one out there who can fill your shoes?
Frank./

Hmm – where does Obama stand on the global warming issue? Does he need to take a private jet – what about scheduled air? Even if he flew First Class the expense would be less, and those precious carbon emissions would be less than using a private jet.
Hmm, there must be a million flights that fly LAS – Chi-Midway. What on earth? All are hypocrits.
The sheep just keep following along…..

The visibility from the
cockpits of many planes is
very limited. The pilot(s) are
at the very front and it is
hard to see exactly where the
wingtips are.
What’s the big deal?

Looks like his pilot lacks experience too.

I’m sure all the democrat candidates will blame Pres. Bush for this incident…

141 comments and only Adams’ make any sense!

“I vote for Ron Paul. A straight answer is what you will get from him.”
Bwahahahahaha!
Got tinfoil?
—-
(ROTFL)
What’s your deal Jim? Are you a banker or IRS agent scared about the impending Judgement Day? Get over it! Regardless who becomes President, it will get sorted out. Paul will at least do the right thing and get the ball rolling instead of the painful status-quo.

I’m for Ron Paul because he is the only candidate I have ever heard who has stated a goal to have America be the first country to put a person on the surface of every planet before the century is out. Only a true leader can promise something like that!

Obama says he has “hope” for our country, I say we need an assertive leader with a “plan” for our country. Go Hillary!!!

It’s an omen!

guys not guts. i am typing with the lights off.

First the Clinton campaign mentions the possible spectre! of Obama becoming the victim of an assassination!, then plane carrying him strike another parked?, on a runaway, in a city infamous! for it’s ties to organized crime. Sounds!, like Hillary is planning to give Sen. Obama the same plane ride she gave! JFK Jr. right before Ms. PSYCHOPATHIC liar had decided she’d become Senator from New Yory by any means.

America wish you the best president of the two (or more). you are a symbol of an ideal nation to the rest of the world.am surprised some of you are pulling the race card.BEHAVE like we all know you to do.FROM AFRICA WITH LOVE.
GOD BLESS AMERICA

Obama already pulled the race card back @ HU in VA.. look it up!

Last time my plane hit another plane, it was an insurance nightmare!

I have listen to Obamas speech so many times I can almost recite it my self. The best orator in years. But where are specific policies??? Issues with out an indication of a concrete plan are worthless to me. Words won’t do it for me. This time I want Plans. Enough of thinking the imspiring person is right. I though Bush was a good decent man when I voted for him. Big Mistake Big Mistake. Our Country is in shambles. We do not need pretty words. Watch C- Span. There is where you get real information. The Chamber of Commerence just had a forum and said that none of the hyped camp promises are able to be fulfilled. You my friends are being influenced by HYPE.

Arrogant Obama uses low games to run. (He’s used to it). He allowed Edwards fight for him; he allows the media to skew everything for him. Finally, he hides behind South Carolina who would call Hillary racist. I bet after this plane accident, he would have cried if not that he’s already done it on Oprah’s couch.

Ah…..I’m just wondering
What were the “Secret Service” people
doing while this situation was unfolding?
Just wondering

I agree. He’s like most other politicians, full of double speak.
Pease out.

What the heck is a “prescheduled day off”????? Isn’t that just a “scheduled day off????????

Obama and Clinton are elected to represent the voters of their respective states, not campaign for another political job. They should both resign their current positions if they wish to run for another!
As far as Obama’s house dealing – interesting how a senator making a few thousand per year can purchase a house with a million dollar plus price tag and fly around in a Gulfstream 2 Jet – not a puddle jumper as the story would make it seem. As far as the environment goes, yes, flying around to campaign goes against the current rhetoric, but then, he’s a liberal, you’re supposed to do what he says, not as he does – a la Kennedy – claim to be for alternative energy, as long as it isn’t in my backyard.
I think we can do better for President than either of the inexperienced democrat senators, Obama or Clinton.

total hypocracy …. another liberal flying in a private jet … !

When will you idiots stop this bull about who swore on the Koran at his swearing in. It was a senator from PA or NJ. I know this is a drive by shot and you expect it to stick on a few readers but PLEASE come up with another one.

Hey, Be safe, we need you to beat the double Clintons, double Bushes (since 1988!! how did we survive) back to the south.

These comments just show how American education has really gone down the drain….Hail Al Bundy!!!

Obama wasn’t flying or taxying the plane. Pilot swipes parked plane when taxying…………oh let’s make it political………let’s talk about the votes…….not the clown who should have had better vision. I’m not going to vote for the guy but I’m not going to blame him either. How stupid you all get.
How silly.
What a bunch “Know” bodies

Maybe this was a “CONSIRACY THEORY” type warning to Barack Obama, by those that are threatened that he might win. Can’t even trust your friendly pilot these days.

DO you consider that maybe with all the flack the Clintons have taken the past few days, this wasn’t just a co-incidental “accident” but an attempt on Obama’s life?….ie Ron Brown???
I wouldn’t put ANYTHING past the Clinton machine. Especially when the first “black” President, Clinton, is being accused of being racially insensitive and had to grovel at the alter of Al Sharpton on Sharpton’s radio program.

Even though he is a democrat, maybe Obama has the brains to know that Al Gore is a screaming idiot. (which is why he flies private jets; no big deal!!!)

Read Romano’s comment. A candidate’s plane clips the wing of another place while trying to park and he’s launching some nasty comments about not being able to say what he wants about black people. Sounds like the only person thinking about race is you pal. Obama has never done this. It’s only the Clinton machine which likes to lie and paint it this way. More specifically, it’s Bill Clinton that keeps interjecting race into this race — and only because he finds it politically expedient to do so. It’s quite clever really: Say you can’t say anything about Obama because he’s black and people are overly sensitive (a false claim) in order to be able to say negative things about him later. God, that is so Clintonian.

betsy wetsy said:
“and he wants to be prez??? so his wife can run the country. give me a break..
some president and first lady they would make!”
Aw, c’mon betsy. It worked for Hillary. Haven’t you been counting her numerous references to “we” when speaking of her husband’s accomplishments? (cough…delusional…cough-cough)
And Chasmaniac:
“Its obvious all that leaning to the left caused the plane to veer off and strike the other.” :D
Very funny!!!
John McAdams:
“Rules for Presidential candidates:
1. State your goals and plans to reach your goals.
2. Ignore the other candidates.
Then maybe the american voters will know exactly what you stand for.”
Gee, that sounds like Huckabee logic…
Hey, now!

I assume it was the “left wing” which was hit……

To the post that said not to be so mean, i would like to know what he thought of all the fuss about Dick Cheneys’ hunting mishap

What a Joke..nothing happened, no one hurt and just a lawsuit in the future for the damaged planes!
A very important fact is that the object of this endeavor is to choose a candidate…not their Driving Skills..I JUST HAVE ONE QUESTION..DO THE CANDIDATES BUY CARBON CREDITS for their OIL guzzling travels? Do they but from Gore’s Company of do they one of their own!
Far as i AM CONCERNED..THEY ARE ALL FILTHY RICH AND WANT TO TAKE MORE OF MY MONEY FOR THEIR LIFESTYLES..THEY HAVE MADE THEIR MILLIONS…AND THEY DO NOT WANT ANYONE ELSE TO …How about a new oath of office..I WILL GIVE UP ALL MY MONEY, PERKS AND BENEFITS..I CAN AFFORD THAT THE LITTLE FOLKS CANNOT.
How much money do these folks spend for campaigns? How many people could their millions have helped!

“It looks like Obama’s pilot has about as much experience flying a plane, as Obama has in Washington.”

I couldn’t have said it any better, why is this news any way.

God Bless America.
In how many other countries can we so freely both publicly post such comments and opinions without negative recourse as well as have so many people even caring enough about our democratic process to read all of these opinions, even those that seem ignorant!

Obama must take care and cannot treat any incident as just an accident. After all he is fighting for a President’s post in a Nation that is notorous is terminating two of its Presidential candidates Martin Luther King and Senator Kennedy and two of its Presidents,Lincoln and JF Kennady.

obama with god allthings are posi,god will always guide u ameen

There is NO report in the NTSB database on this alleged event.

i’m wondering about the story also, removing the flag from his new design?
