Air Force One is a 747 200-B is a jumbo jet; it is 231′ 10″ and has a take off weight of 383,000#.

Roger you really seem to think Obama is being uppity in his choice of planes.

If one reads further one find this: “In McCain’s spacious first class area, there are 12 plush leather seats for the candidate, his wife and senior staffers. The “straight talk” area features a long leather bench and another first class seat which McCain sits in when he talks to the press – or would, if he used the area.

Since they acquired the plane with its specially modified area, McCain has spoken to the press there precisely once, over a month ago. All of these sections are separated by curtains, which are always shut as tightly as possible as soon as the plane takes off in order to keep the different sections of the plane from interacting with each other.”

So much for the “straight talk”.

That kind of blows Obama’s claim to be a candidate of “hope and change”, a “new kind of politician” etc. ad nauseam. Which really undermines his campaign since aside from that he has almost zero accomplishments of substance.

If the convention turns against Obama and turns to Hillary, you better be stocking up for something other than popcorn.

The premise is that his whole run was nothing more than a PR stunt to start positioning his career and he really expected to be done by South Carolina as Hillary cruised on home. This would then have earned him points for a move ahead in either 2012 or 2016 depending on who won; possibly as Hillary’s Veep.

BUT, no one in the Democratic Pary really understood the depths of loathing and negatives that Hillary (and Bill) had accumulated over the years especially with the hardcore loony left that makes of the core of today’s party. When compared to everyone except Hillary BHO was the bright, shiny new toy and a place to put any anti-Hillary protest vote. Oooooops! He took off and now he’s believing his own hype!!

This has the potential to get very, very ugly for the Democrat party if BHO gets the nomination and then gets whooped.

If his polls keep dropping until the convention will the Superdelegates band together and put him over the top in a show of Party Unity? Or will some/enough hold back on the first vote to force a second vote where all the pledged delegates are freed? Is there then a move to Hillary or a totally brokered convention like the bad (good) old days?

Me? I’m thinking of stocking up on pop-corn.

There’s nothing exotic or complicated about how phenoms are made in Washington, and, more to the point, how they are broken.
“Andy Warhol said we all get our 15 minutes of fame,” says Barack Obama. “I’ve already had an hour and a half. I mean, I’m so overexposed, I’m making Paris Hilton look like a recluse.“

Did you hurt Hillary’s chances?
…[Politics]“it’s a contact sport…

Any regrets?
“…I’m not a racist ….”

Is Obama ready to be president?
“You could argue that no one is ready to be president”

Should Hillary be Obama’s running mate?
It’s up to him.. it’s none of my business..

I thought that’s clever – If you remember your bible lessons/academy award winners, Moses never did make it into the Promised Land
