Actually it was SFO and it really did happen.

GMAFB. As if Obama has any input on which Bay Area airport AF1 lands at. I once spent 4 straight hours sitting on the tarmac in IAH while Dubya rolled into town for some fundraising.

Anything to fit their agenda. Some people literally can't stand the idea of a black family living in the WHITE House.

I agree with old Moose here. Next one to post something that even smells faintly of politics to me gets a much needed 3 day vacation!

I got nailed by Bush the younger 3 times. FLL, MIA and TPA. Miami trip he was speaking/fund raising near Homestead AFB. Tampa he was actually going to McDill AFB, but took AF One into TPA. Go figure those out

Read a Q and A with someone from Clinton admin long time ago about that event.
It was early in his admin and all were just basically ignorant of the impact of that decision. It was a catalyst that made all connected with the Presidents travels to be more proactive....in short a learning event for all.
as a side note many years ago I flew at an airline that had many a retired Air Force pilot whose last gig was the 89th out of Andrews. They pretty much all agreed that the Secret Servce guys had a very different mission profile than they did (flying VIP's) and as such really didn't give much consideration to operational impact of what they did and where they went. All the security stuff is done far ahead of time which limits greatly where AF1 et al goes.

Oh, I guess your right.... the POTUS has NO input in where in the He#^%( the AF1 goes or lands, it all just happens despite him.... you GMAFB.

You all sound like three year olds.... he did it, so therefore I can...

We as tax payers already pay for military bases that are very capable of providing the necessary security, and if our government actually SERVED US, instead of vice versa, no matter who's in office, they'd
use military bases as much as possible.

Grow up junior!

Oh and Packrat, it's not a RACE thing, or I suppose if you can't stand an worldwide apologist as POTUS then you are automatically against said apologists race.
