You're right noobs. I'm sure it's a lie. Along with closing airports in a 30 mile radius for King Obama. Bush had only 3 to 10 mile radius.

"You're right noobs. I'm sure it's a lie. Along with closing airports in a 30 mile radius for King Obama. Bush had only 3 to 10 mile radius."

Sweetie. You're wrong. Obama's flight restrictions are exactly the same distance as were around Bush's Texas ranch when he was there. There was a permanent 3 NM restriction, that was expanded when Bush was there to 10 NM. Later in his presidency, that 10 NM restriction was expanded to 30 NM, exactly the same as Obama's.

From AOPA Flight Training Mag...

"Consider Prohibited Area P-49, which surrounds President Bush's ranch near Crawford, Texas. Nearly 140 violations of the airspace around P-49 were documented in 2003. It's normally a circle with a three-nautical-mile radius that extends up to 5,000 feet above mean sea level. But at times, a notam will increase the radius to 30 nm and the top to 18,000 feet. The only aircraft allowed within 10 miles required preapproval by the U.S. Secret Service and were restricted to law enforcement and military directly supporting the Secret Service and the White House. When the airspace is expanded, any aircraft operating between 10 and 30 miles from the TFR's center is required to be on a VFR or IFR flight plan, squawk an assigned discrete transponder code, and maintain two-way radio contact. Training, practice approaches, and many other activities are prohibited."

From the Victoria Advocate...

"...restricted airspace around Bush's "Western White House" covers a 30-mile radius, said John Clabes, a spokesman for the Federal Aviation Administration's Southwest Region.

If you're going to call people names, you might want to do a little research first, lest you look like a babbling moron. We wouldn't want that, now would we?

There's plenty of things to disagree with Obama on, intelligently minded people don't need to cling to wild rumors, gossip and unsubstantiated, and easily refutable conspiracy theories to make a case against Barack Obama.

Funny how facts keep getting in the way of your drama-tinged hysterics, eh?

Quite while yer behind.
