SEATTLE (AFP) – Two F-15 fighter jets were scrambled after a plane flew into restricted airspace near where President Barack Obama's Air Force One was parked in Seattle, US authorities said.

Air space over Seattle had been partially closed as Obama visited the west-coast city as part of a cross-country tour.

The NORAD air command said the F-15s from the Oregon Air National Guard were scrambled "in response to a Temporary Flight Restriction violation in the vicinity of Seattle."

Pretty soon it will expand to 500 miles and he will travel with a ground contingent of armed Brown Shirts from the Mexican Illegal Alien drug Cartels.

This guy is a disaster in the making,trying to be like the lords of old who travelled in pomp and circumstance just to wow the public.To me it makes him look like a petty dictator who does not have the loyalty of the people , and so he has to go around blustering like a flatulent pig on steroids.Zimbabwe HO!

He can take that sonic boom and stick it right up his skinny arse! I am underwhelmed.

I loved the sonic booms when I was a kid. I love it when the Air Show is in town and we may get a few booms from the Blue Angels, that is until some libtard complains. Obamass said the sweetest sound was the muslim call to prayer....I say it is the magnificent sound of US fighter jets overhead going through their manuevers!

I consider it patriotic dissent to launch my radio controlled made in China model insect looking aircraft.

What is Obama going to do, live on Air Force One for the next couple of months crisscrossing the country, having excuses to gridlock America the best he can, is he really audacious enough to pull a stunt off like this?

He knows fully that his entrance anywhere is disruptive, people even die, so why doesn’t he just stay out of our business and go back to playing golf every day?

Go play some golf Obama, stop terrorizing America before we really get ticked off, your song and dance act is old, its boring and we have read your strategy book.

If the President is not actually on the aircraft, then it is just a plain old Air Force jet. If someone actually attacked the aircraft at that time, the worst thing that might happen is that 0bama might have to walk home. This might be a good thing, since he would have an opportunity - for the first time in his life - to meet real Americans.
