Obama Slides Into A Tailspin

Nobody's Perfect: Obama had some trouble with his plane today. It seems, the pilot was having trouble steering. Just a minor problem...caused by the fact that maybe someone had thought they should get off the plane right away because the evacuation slide blew itself up in the tail!

Okay, evacutation slides go off all the time in planes...(sure) So, why did Obama have to spend the whole day in St. Louis? AGAIN?

The real question is: Why did he leave in the first place? He was here on Saturday, making a speech in downtown St. Louis, for the African Methodist Episcopal Church. Unlike his upcoming convention speech in Colorado, where he plans to accept the nomination in front of a football stadium filled with 75,000 people, we have no idea how many people showed up to see Obama in St. Louis...

Not a word about it.

In fact, on Friday all the local news stations were trying to get the "non-black" people in St. Louis NOT to go downtown to the fireworks display...even though Obama has many "non-black" supporters here. What they didn't want to say is that it was a "black only" invitation.

I love it. Blacks can have thier own black church conventions. What if whites did that?

Whatever the reason, Obama was in St. Louis on Saturday. Sunday he was coming out of Chicago to go to North Carolina, (Is he paying his carbon-credits here?) and then had bag problems, and ended up spending the whole day back in St. Louis.

The good news is: Chertoff just happened to be in St. Louis at the same time. Obama landed at 10 am. and Chertoff left to see some floods scenes at 3.15. Took Chertoff long enough to look at our floods...just saying.

Many of us who know that NOBODY likes to stay over in St. Louis, and knowing that not too long ago, there was a plane accident here, where Mel Carnahan's plane went down and affected the whole Presidential elections, we are certainly glad--- that when we turned on our TV sets and there was Obama, telling North Carolina on the phone he would come sometime...

Now, we get to see politicians making phone conversations to other cities. I guess the local news was just too boring.

Whatever.

It's hard to get good plane evacuation slides these days, but Obama just can't think of everything now can he?
