| Was Teddy Flying Obama's Plane? | |
| 2007-11-08 | |
| When Democrat Barack Obama's charter plane touched down Tuesday night, aides were surprised a car wasn't waiting to rush him to that night's campaign events. Someone stepped onto the tarmac and quickly realized why: They had landed at the wrong airport. Instead of going to Cedar Rapids, the plane had touched down about 100 miles to the west in Des Moines. Spokesman Tommy Vietor said Wednesday that the mistake on the flight from Chicago made Obama about an hour late for a rally at a community college. While waiting, the crowd took to dancing and chanting. The presidential candidate apologized for the delay, simply explaining there had been a mix-up on the way from Chicago.

| #5 He was only an hour late after going about 500 miles out of his way and adding one take-off and one landing? "We may be lost, but we're making good time." |

| #4 Was Teddy flying Obama's plane? No, there was no bridge hurt during the landing. MAybe the question should be be re-worded? Was John Jr. flying Obama's plane? Perhaps, because it appears this fool couldn't read instruments, either. |

| #3 There's a charter pilot who's already working for Hillary - check the old White House Travel Office files, if you can find them. |

| #1 Don't worry - once the primary is over they will NEVER set foot there again. Same with all of us in flyover country (BOTH parties). |
