Need FR help. What was weather in South Central Pennsylvania , Maryland today? (POTUS Plot?)

Posted on 09/02/2011 8:04:15 PM PDT by MindBender26

Supposedly Marine One landed near Frederick, MD, rather than Camp David, with POTUS aboard. POTUS continued to Camp David by motorcade due to bad weather at Camp David landing site.

Story is pegging my BS meter. How would a/c with POTUS aboard ever be dispatched into such conditions?

Was this a security situation?

FOX reported earlier, I can’t remember which show, that a small plane that was flying without radio contact - I think it said - was spotted in the area. I haven’t heard anything else reported about it.

My nephew just got married in an outdoor wedding today in Maryland and the weather was beautiful. 5:00 wedding.

Reported at 6 pm central on my local news channel. Small aircraft crossed into restricted air space near Camp David and was escorted by military planes away.

In the interim, Marine one was diverted, landed, and Obama transferred to motorcade to complete the trip.

Apparently, the white houses press department just made up a story about bad weather, and fed it to the press corp. I guess lying is just such a habit, it happens automatically now.

The weather was quite nice most of the day. Got a little cool and cloudy in the afternoon. Nothing that would affect a helicopter.

There probably was a security situation, and the small plane thing might initially seem likely. Oddly, though, I did not see or hear any of the fighter craft that come out of Langley AFB to take care of errant small planes in restricted airspace. Usually they come overhead at about 3 feet of altitude and I HEAR them. So the small plane thing, maybe yes, maybe no.

Moochele probably had a hang over and couldn’t take the turbulance.

Apparently, Michelle and the other daughter did not go with Obama in Marine one.

"due to bad weather at Camp David landing site."

LOL, people still believe the Lame Stream Media.

If Brian Williams announced the sun would rise in the east tomorrow morning, I'd be up at the crack of dawn with a compass just to make sure.

Oh the ‘weather’ version has ‘changed’ now.

Now it was something in the air space that was ‘intercepted’.

Osama 72 virgins.

Obama 72 versions.

LOL. Best laugh I’ve had today! I wouldn’t get up that early, but I’d sure check in here to see what you found out. LOL.

I do know from experience that Presidential moves are very, very carefully planned out, and that there are backups to HMX-1 flying the President anywhere, so the motorcade makes sense to me. I don't know the incident. As I noted before, local weather happens a lot here - microbursts and isolated thunderstorms - but this is a bit unusual.

The President's already done enough stupid stuff to warrant special mention in the Worst President Book, but this may have been out of his control. The Secret Service takes its responsibilities seriously.

I thought maybe he became despondent and threatened to jump.

He is probably not at Camp David, but meeting with his benefactors (political and $$) at an undisclosed location to the west-south-west of Fredrick Md. Just a guess. Pull out a map and a compass, draw an arc... The alternated location (if he is using it) is obvious.

He had one spawn, but no Moochelle with him for the weekend at Camp David.

Where is Moochelle, and what is it costing us??
