Plane Carrying First Lady Obama Forced To Abort Landing After Air Traffic Controller Error

breaking news
» 80 comments

CNN is reporting that an aircraft carrying First Lady Michelle Obama was forced to abort a landing on Monday after an air traffic controller made an error that put the First Lady’s plane in danger.

According to the Washington Post:

A White House plane carrying Michelle Obama came dangerously close to a 200-ton military cargo jet and had to abort its landing at Andrews Air Force Base on Monday as the result of an air traffic controller’s mistake, according to federal officials familiar with the incident.

Ultimately controllers at Andrews feared the cargo jet would not clear the runway in time, said the officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they are not authorized to speak for their agencies.

FAA officials confirmed that the first lady was aboard the plane, but had no additional comment immediately. They expected to release a statement later Tuesday. The first lady’s office also had no immediate comment.

    Aw, poor fella. Wants something nasty, so he can hypocritically whine and complain… and when it doesn’t happen, and his “enemy” doesn’t show the same nastiness… well, he gets upset anyway.

    Spin as much as you like, it won’t change reality. Remember; facts have a liberal bias. I don’t want it, I just anticipate it. Unlike you i’m not hypocrite. I don’t try to pump the “enemy” bullshit while forgetting that John McCain and John Thrasher made the EXACT SAME comments about democrats. Nice try there. spinster. Aren’t you the same person who reads things that aren’t in plain black and white contrary to what is in front of their face. And then when i called you on it didn’t you say something along the lines of “I tire of this”. You’re the biggest bullshit artist here quite frankly. Still waiting on a plausible explanation of the difference between middle eastern dictators which conservatives support and latin american ones which they want out.

    I will criticize ANYONE who calls their political opponents “enemies,” as well as “Nazi/Anti-Christ/Un-American.” “Socialist,” I won’t, because -while it’s used negatively- it isn’t actually a slur or negative comment (some people are proud to be Socialists, and aren’t bad people for it).

    Of course, Reasonable, you wouldn’t expect any of that… mostly because it’s not how YOU operate, and like so many others, to justify your own poor behavior (and those you support), you have to be able to say, “They do it too!” or “They did it first!”

    But if you ask me, that doesn’t quite matter. Bad behavior deserves to be called out on both sides, and unlike some others, I have no qualms doing so… no matter what “your version” tells you is/will be true.

You have no idea how I operate. What you’re saying completely contradicts what I am on record of saying on these very boards about 2 wrongs not making a right. However, you may want to debate that fact with many of your own comrades who attempted to compare the e-mail of our President being presented as a member of family of monkeys to those with Bush and those who justify the nazi references. You’re lying again. You SAY that you have no qualms, but your actions say otherwise. During the Arizona shooting, i was particularly critical of those on the left and right who were making political leverage out of the situation. My point is that if you’re going to complain about something complain about it no matter who does it, not just your opponents, which you have not done. You are using one incident by a liberal to further your agenda. If you’re going to say something about me, at least back it up and make it something that I don’t know is blatantly false. Perhaps you’re projecting right now?

    The school problem stems from our culture as I’ve said before. There are other countries with higher graduation rates and lower spending per capita on education. However, that’s not cause to cut it because that reduces our number of college graduates & ultimately our competitiveness on the global stage. That’s part of the reason why we have such an unskilled labor force, culture i mean.

    I didn’t participate in that thread. Honestly, it didn’t interest me because I knew the foolishness that would come out of the headline. My take on it was/is that some dope did something (either racist, or just really stupid) and should be fired for it. Their intentions don’t matter to me, only their decision making abilities… which clearly, aren’t good enough to be entrusted with any type of political position.

    And for that, I would say the same of those who made Nazi references about Bush. Would you?

    If you’re going to say something about me, at least back it up and make it something that I don’t know is blatantly false. Perhaps you’re projecting right now?

    I’d point out the irony and hypocrisy in this statement… but of course, you already said you’re “not a hypocrite,” so I doubt you’d listen. It’s not part of your “reality.”

    Would more funding (or current levels of funding) have prevented this?

    Does “more money,” always mean “better services?”

    Bottom line, and to answer your question, unless you can show that the funds would have stopped something like this from happening, the two situations aren’t exactly relevant or related to each other. If I get into a car accident in my Nissan, it doesn’t necessarily mean that had I spent more money and bought a BMW, I would have avoided the accident… now does it?

    Yes, it does. If you’re insinuating it does I suggest that you support that.

    Honestly? No. But that is my “style” as you put it. I don’t believe in stepping down to the lowest common denominator save extreme situations. Nazi references are pointless debates because arguing with those who make them is futile. I don’t believe that silence denotes acceptance or agreement which is something which I have also explained to Liberal tormentor before. However, you obviously do, and I have been judging you according to your own standards which you do not live up to. Like? The fact that you haven’t condemned any vile conservatives on here. you’re just like politicians who use the extremists to their advantage.

    It’s not untrue. Please link to one post of you condemning a conservative.

    I was referring to the “enemies” comment and you know that. I did predict that. I wasn’t “upset” that it didn’t happen as you continue to insist despite me already going over this. I was “upset” that you inject your typical attack, bullshit, spin, deflect maneuvers into the matter.

    Yes, please do so. How is it hypocritical and ironic. please try not to spin this time. Read EXACTLY WHAT IS THERE. Not your own meaning.

    Is it really so impossible for you to stay on topic? This is twice thus far that you’ve sought to co-opt a thread with what YOU want to talk about, instead of what the thread is about.

    I don’t know if they need more money or not, and I’m not going to take the word of one guy (no matter how good a pilot he is) for anything. I know you’ll agree with him, because Think Progress and MSNBC told you to… but it’s going to take a little more than that to sell me. I don’t know, and that’s it.

    The_Reasonable_Lib said:

    To “bash” you? I pointed out that your prediction was wrong. That’s “bashing?” Wow… you’re very sensitive. I’ll have to remember that.

    You’re just like the rest. You don’t come to debate, only to bash those who don’t agree with you.

    If you believe that, you’re either not paying attention, or you’ve got me confused with someone else.

    Or (a third option), even more sensitive than I previously thought.

    Then when proven wrong and backed into a corner you attempt to spin your way out of it like now, but I refuse to let you this time.

    What am I spinning? There’s nothing to be spun!

    I’m not. It’s not about belief, it’s about fact. Can you prove that I am?

    Honestly, I’m having trouble following you. Your answering a question or statement I made, but I’m not sure which one. So I can’t easily answer this one.

    Did I call you out? No, i mentioned nobody by name, the wording was ambiguous. I simply said I await the response. Evidently you don’t think very highly of your fellow conservatives if you think that they would say something vile which I would anticipate.

    So… I don’t think much of my fellow conservatives, because I pointed out that you expect them to say something rude? Or are you suggesting that your comment didn’t mean you were looking for what conservatives were going to say, only that you were particularly interested in everyone else’s comments?

    Really? Is this some sort of Keith Olbermann defense? Some kind of, “That’s not what I meant, even though it’s clearly what I meant?” defense?

    If I got it wrong, please do tell… what was the point of your first comment?

    The same could be said for you, Spin master. I know that you, like Pablo & Liberal Tormentor have tendency to zoom in on anything that you THINK you can attck and attempt to bullshit your way out when you get caught, but as I’ve already said; I won’t let you do that this time.

    I’m afraid I might have to call you a waaaa-mublance. You seem awfully worked up over getting called out, and being wrong.

    Yes, it does. If you’re insinuating it does I suggest that you support that.

    Huh?

    Honestly? No. But that is my “style” as you put it.

    Again, hard to follow… but if I’ve got it correct, you’re saying that your “style” is to attack people on the right, while defending or ignoring people on the left.

    That’s not a “style” my friend… that’s just bias.

    I don’t believe in stepping down to the lowest common denominator save extreme situations. Nazi references are pointless debates because arguing with those who make them is futile. I don’t believe that silence denotes acceptance or agreement which is something which I have also explained to Liberal tormentor before. However, you obviously do, and I have been judging you according to your own standards which you do not live up to. Like? The fact that you haven’t condemned any vile conservatives on here. you’re just like politicians who use the extremists to their advantage.

    Oh, if only that were true, you’d have a leg to stand on. I’ve had it out with a number of the conservatives on here. Similarly, there are a number of people whom I just simply ignore. Find me in a conversation with “Garth” or “Gordon.” They’re not there. There are some people who are just so far out there, that I’m not interested in dealing with… but unlike you, they’re on both sides of the spectrum.

    It’s not untrue. Please link to one post of you condemning a conservative.

    I’ll do one better for you, I’ll condemn the party as a whole right now:

    As a party, Republicans and Conservatives are on the wrong side of the gay marriage debate. For them to create reasons why the government should be interested in “protecting the family” by preventing gay marriage is foolish. Supporters (like Bill O’Reilly) are wrong when they suggest that the prevent gay marriage is in the interest of the children, or needed to help strengthen traditional marriage. Until the party changes its way on that issue, I refuse to call (or register myself) as a Republican.

    How does that work for you? Now you try!

    I was referring to the “enemies” comment and you know that. I did predict that. I wasn’t “upset” that it didn’t happen as you continue to insist despite me already going over this. I was “upset” that you inject your typical attack, bullshit, spin, deflect maneuvers into the matter.

    Spin move! Deflect. Deflect. Special Attack! Falcon PUNCH!

    But seriously, what are you talking about?

    Yes, please do so. How is it hypocritical and ironic. please try not to spin this time. Read EXACTLY WHAT IS THERE. Not your own meaning.

    Your original quote: “If you’re going to say something about me, at least back it up and make it something that I don’t know is blatantly false. Perhaps you’re projecting right now?”

    The hypocrisy and the irony comes from the fact that what you’re doing to me, is exactly what you’re complaining I do. You have provided nothing to “back up” your comments about me, and you’ve made stuff up that I “know is blatantly false.” Do you see it now?

    There needs to be something done about this. I’m not necessarily for cutting funding unless there is an excess that really isn’t needed. Although instead of cutting funding perhaps the money could be spent on 5 Hour Energy Drink-infused coffee. Oh, and somebody could take the damn television out of there.

    Good to know everyone is safe though.

    Poor misunderstood Ellie! The Republicans want to cut the # of air traffic controllers (where the hell she got this from only God and Ellie know).

    I completely understand her logic – don’t fire the jerk who’s not doing his/her job – hire another jerk to watch the jerk not doing his/her job! It would lower the unemployed numbers and imagine, you’d have to build bigger spaces for them (maybe put in a small cot or 2) – more job creation!
    Look at all the additional people who would get jobs – think people, just think! It’s time to forget that nonsense about being the best that you can be – time to be mediocre and become a job creator.

    military or civilian controllers i wonder? glad everything turned out ok

    .
    According to the WP it was military:

    “A White House plane carrying Michelle Obama came dangerously close to a 200-ton military cargo jet and had to abort its landing at Andrews Air Force Base on Monday as the result of an air traffic controller’s mistake, according to federal officials familiar with the incident.”

    Of course that doesn’t slow the Libs down in blaming Repubs while screaming for more spending, does it.

  • Probably NOT wrong

    So Planned Parenthood did NOT have anything
    to do with this Aborted Landing?

    Love the fools who are giving the controllers excuses. You realize of course that they “fought” for their hours – they negotiated, they screamed, they yelled and now it’s everyone else’s fault that they work such horrible hours (so they have lots of time off).

    This is a union at its best. Basically, they are now saying “it’s your fault you allowed us to be stupid; you were the adults and you didn’t stop us).

    BTW Bright wonders, what happened to Michelle’s flight happens more times than any of us want to know – someone just spilled the beans on this one for media traction. Also, this was military – so although mediaite is flogging this story, it has nothing to do with “budget or no budget” changes (in other words Ellie, you’re wrong again – a perfect record).

    Too funny (and profoundly sad) to think you have absolutely no idea what you’re talking about.

    I posted an interview of “Sully” Sullenberger talking about his feelings behind the defunding of Air Traffic Controllers which is pertinent to the topic of this thread. From that you took away that Ed Schultz is my hero. Do you disagree with what Sully had to say? Or do you agree? Or do you just dismiss what he had to say simply because he said it on the Ed Show?

    Taking away from that interview that Schultz is my hero makes you a fruit loop. It also shows you are way too focused on personalities of the posters here rather than the substance of the topic at hand. That makes you quite shallow and a complete waste of my time. But have a nice day. :)
