I don’t think Obama would be stupid enough to take the Airbus....but these days.

With the deficit at its highest ever and more tax dollars coming out of my pocket, I repaired my paid-off car rather than buy a new one.

Obama better not buy a new plane.

I’d like to see them go with a smaller plane. Let the reporters and hangers-on fly commercial.

So could Obama's economics team could discuss "mumbo jumbo" on a super jumbo?

Don’t think so. IIRC, it requires a longer runway, restricting the number of places it can go by quite a bit.

Well I can see why he needs a bigger plane, he needs room for that enormous ego.

What’s wrong with Airbus? Using Zer0 as advertising?

The euro government creation of this albatrosse is the
ideal Obama.

I thought the Airbloat was so big it couldn’t land at most airports. With the global economy tanking, I think it would be hard to sell jumbo cattle cars.

I think AF One should be replaced by a HOT AIR balloon for Obama. All he has to do is talk his way across to wherever he is going and save energy at the same time!!!

This comes from the envious euro snobs.

I'm all for it. Let Zero order an Airbus and put the Washington State and Kansas votes squarely in the GOP column for 2010 and 2012.

I thought Clinton took delivery of that plane in his first year as president. If so, the aircraft is 17 years old now. Gee how time flies when you’re getting screwed...

I thought he’d opt for something made by Ilyushin.

Well, I really meant smaller than a 747. The new dreamliner might be just about the right size.
