Am I the only one who thinks this is a bad idea

"Bush plans to make history today by landing in a small four-person plane on a moving aircraft carrier hundreds of miles from shore... President will be in co-pilot's seat..."

 

Certainly this will work out and everybody will be safe.

 

But, This just strikes me as very odd.

[Guest j.o.b. squad]

why if guys in planes going 5000 mph can do it why not a little cesna. if i remember corectly he was a pilot in the texas national guard.

[Guest Jobber of the Week]

Well, it did make publicity ahoy, didn't it?

[Guest NoCalMike]

Bush hard at work like usual.......ho hum.

[Guest MarvinisaLunatic]

Hmm..

 

President Bush (news - web sites) recoils after hitting his head,Thursday, May 1, 2003, as he boarded Marine One on the South Lawn of the White House.

 

He can't even get on a helecopter without banging his head on the door..

And this somehow detracts from the fact that he had flight training? And if we are gonna put up stuff like this...

Told you that I had a bad feeling about that.

[Guest Tyler McClelland]

Oh, don't even get me started on Republican draft dodgers.

[Guest Vyce]

You people are all REALLY catty today.

 

It's a beautiful day outside (well, where I'm at). Go outside and date a girl or something like that.

[Guest Tyler McClelland]

My lovely is coming home in a week and five days, so I've got about that long to bitch on these boards... have no fear!

No kidding. I took a vacation from this forum because everybody was extra catty and most post were getting almost robotic. In a nut shell.......

 

Conservative: blah blah I know for a fact that George Bush speaks with God every night because he can do no wrong and is a product of the heavens. blah blah bomb everything!

 

 

Liberal: bla blah oil....blah blah there is no god.....oh woe is me the world is so awful. I hate everything because the world doesn't understand me and my brilliant cynical ways.

 

 

.....and so on and so forth. Time to back outside.......

What have we learned today? That high-ranking politicians dodge military service. Regardless of the party line, this is something that's always bothered me, because here are people making decisions on sending people to combat or whatnot without having ANY idea about what it's actually like themselves. Anyway, that's my mini-tirade for the day... as for Bush landing a plane? Who cares? I don't mean that in an "I hate Bush so I don't care" way, I mean, is this a hard feat or something? Unless you're involved in aviation, you might get excited about it, otherwise it doesn't sound very impressive. Certainly not newsworthy.

I totally agree. I mean who in the hell cares. I turned on the news today to only to see every news anchor known to man creaming themselves over Bush landing a plane, replay after replay, after replay.

[Guest Vern Gagne]

President Bush didn't even land the plane. It was a good pr move by the White House though.

[Guest kkktookmybabyaway]

It was sheer brilliance, although that chick on FNC's Special Report made a good point that if it was Clinton doing the stunt, Conservatives would be in an uproar over staging such an event...

Honestly, that's because Clinton had a habit of grandstanding. Bush's willingness to let Giuliani shine after the 9/11 attacks shows that he is willing to step back and let somebody else bask in the glow occasionally. Clinton, and even you supporters can't deny this, wanted to be center stage for every single news event during his entire tenure.
