Yup! That scenario is in one of Vince Flynn’s thrillers.

My local news at 6pm central, reported that a small aircraft had crossed into restricted airspace near Camp David. It was told to land, and escorted by military planes to the designated landing area.

Meantime, marine 1 was diverted, and converted to a motorcade. How stupid of the W.H. press team to make up a stupid story about the weather, when it was perfectly clear that there was no significant bad weather.

Someone on another forum that lives near CD described fighters buzzing the area for awhile. Sounds like you’re correct.

I like Wunderground too. It is a shame they share the same name as another group. Their site is so much better for information and detail that anything else.

Yeh, I read that too. This was reported by local news at 6 pm central time. I just can’t believe these jokers - even when there’s no need to lie, they just make stuff up.

This administration sometimes resembles the keystone cops.

Programming. They lie so much they even lie when they don’t need to.

“Do you think they would act crazy in front of their kids. I never bring up married stuff in front of my kids and their adults.”

I always tried not to argue in front of the kids too.

However, the Obamas are nothing like my wife and I.

I don't go out and have sex with other men and do drugs. I didn't have a criminal buy my house for me. I didn't have a communist terrorist write a book for me. I didn't have a homosexual partner that I had murdered execution style. I didn't get fraudulent Social Security numbers. I didn't go to church for twenty years listening to a pastor say "It's not God bless America, it's God damn America."

I would never assume the Obamas would act the way I do.

“a small aircraft had crossed into restricted airspace near Camp David. It was told to land, and escorted by military planes to the designated landing area.”

This would make sense if they had simply said this and not lied about it for several hours. I wonder if after several hours of thinking about it they finally came up with a credible story.

Or maybe procedure is they can't release that information.
Did they lie when there was no reason to or was there something they were trying to cover up?

These people have never made any sense to me. Either scenario is likely when dealing with habitual liars, is it not? Just lie from habit or lie because they want to cover something up.

It just makes his staff look totally incompetent.

CNN reported they were two separate, distinct events- that the stray plane had NOTHING to do with the motorcade or Marine One.

This is a strange one. My friends in Thurmont and Fort Richie haven't heard any static on this event. They usually know everything.
Also, the bikers at The Cactus Bar on R15 know nothing.

AP reported that it had to do with weather - only there wasn't any. CNN says don't look behind the curtain, that plane has nothing to do with Marine one diverting.

It seems to me that, if an unauthorized plane invades restricted airspace while the President is on the way to that location, it would be prudent for the President's security detail to change the Presidents travel itinerary.

Of course, if it was an attempted terrorist attack, they would want to cover it up, wouldn't they? Well, they're probably trying to decide what the best spin would be.

Obama can’t just sit around can he. He’s always on the go somewhere.

He can't confront being in the White House. He's repelled by the awesome and pervading sense of real American history and character the place emanates. It repels him because he hates this country with a passion.

Is “Weather” the new code word for “terrorism”? Since 9/11, there are now “weather” drills in buildings, and “weather” emergency radio tests.

Greetings P.O.E.:

Useful idiot President 0bama kept bad company in his lifetime, including the ‘68 Weathermen types.

You might be on to something...
* Useful idiot 0bama took credit from killing OBL, despite the killing OBL story having about as many holes in that cloth as this foul weather fabric. (I still believe OBL died at Tora Bora.)
* Thousands of Libyan MANPADS are unaccounted for.
* An out of control “Justice” Department was caught red-handed, fully engaged in a conspiracy to arm narco-terrorists; while attempting to destroy our Second Amendment civil liberties.
* The same narco-terrorist organizations DOJ played with can smuggle whatever they desire across the US-Mexico border, anytime.
* One quarter of illegals actually “caught” crossing the US-Mexico border unlawfully are OTM’s, (other than Mexican) and many of ME origin.

These are dangerous times, indeed. Pray Psalm 109:8 for President 0bama.

Cheers,
OLA

My best guess is that there was a threat, this being the week before the 9/11 tenth anniversary.

I think this is a reasonable assumption. There must have been some threat to his safety.

Quick stop at Georgetown Cupcakes?

Or, knowing Obama's reputation, a quick stop at a rest area off I-95 for 'beefcake.'

Ahh yes. The old “he can’t be communist because he isn’t Russian” defense. Well, despite the fact that Obama does not have a cheesy little mustache and isn’t from Austria, he can still be a fascist dictator. Germany had a Constitution too. When the time comes for the police and military to swear allegiance to Obama, most of them will choose a paycheck for their family over a dying, bankrupt Republic.
