In a highly unusual maneuver, President Obama’s 30 minute flight to the Presidential mountain retreat at Camp David this afternoon was diverted to an undisclosed landing somewhere in the Washington area and a motorcade assembled to drive him to

Sounds to me like another one of his ditch-the-press moves.

Who cares if he’s a martyr? He’s destroying the country and freedom.

>>Given the chance even I would protect him with my life for the country.

A lot of Germans said the same about THEIR Fuhrer and got to do just that!

last 2 paragraphs in the article: "In Washington at the time Marine One took off, according to Accuweather.com, there was no precipitation across the entire region, including Camp David. Light winds blew from the southeast at 10mph with mostly cloudy skies and temperatures in the middle 70′s." camp david is 70 miles away. 30-40 minute flight? sudden changes within 30 minutes? that seems unlikely picking up or meeting someone on the ground at the diverted location seems very likely

Sounds like they picked up a secret visitor.

Maybe a Muslim activist or that Obama girlfriend whom many speculated had to leave his campaign and move to the Caribbean.

Um, it was a little cloudy, but the weather wasn’t bad. No thunderstorms, nothing that would stop Marine One, unless Marine One doesn’t go through clouds. This story is totally bogus. There has been nothing wrong with the weather here since about 3 a.m., when we did have a storm.

Perhaps an attempt to shoot down Marine One was detected at the last minute....

I’m not sure about the acting crazy part. 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.

“Now wondering if there was a threat.”

That’s my guess. Obama is rapidly becoming persona non grata to John Q Public. Everyone I know who voted for him, now is complaining and angry....I have been biting my tongue daily so not to say “ I told you so.” I would imagine secret service is very busy these days - prayers going up for them in this difficult situation. We do not want a presidential or first lady martyr and those Obama daughters are completely innocent and deserve to be protected from all harm.

Becoming a martyr would make that popular.

Trust me, there is no danger whatsoever that Obama is ever, ever going to have a girlfriend. A boyfriend, maybe.

I have read one or two books where the scenario is a stinger attack as Marine One goes to Camp David. I believe they also fly a decoy at the same time to confuse an attacker. They have some elite Marines, along with the Secret Service so it would be almost impossible in real life, especially with the elite counter-snipers of the Secret Service.

"very fishy

and if MSM doesn’t ask questions they are fools

oh wait, redundant"

Bingo!

I can't even stand local reporters anymore. Not only are they leftist schmucks and skanks, but they'll read some local offical press release... er, news report, with a hole big enough for a 747 to fly through, and they read it like it came down from Mt. Sinai.

Hmm, I had to go to the Post Office at about that time, and I was wondering why the traffic going INTO Frederick was so bad... since that’s usually the time when people LEAVE Frederick.

I agree, What is up with the undisclosed location? Makes it sound like a security threat OR some secret doings of Obama which he doesn’t want the WH Press Corpse to know about.

even CNN is raising the red flag, they all know something is up.

Press pool was dumped, he was up to something, who did not want to be seen.
