Obama Plane Smells Bad, People Treated Badly

Can you smell . . . what Barack's got cookin'?!

[tang-soo]

B,O. has BO?

BO, this is BBO - beyond BO. (Seinfeld reference).

[Mr. Mojo]

St. Ides and Gallo.

[curling]

The stench from his bench makes my rectum want to clench.

[mlocher]

It’s the kind of smell you’d expect, when you’re in the tank...

It's that smell, from that one!

[ichabod1]

It’s because even the handlers don’t know when the marxist obama is going to be oscar mike so they get all the press people on standby.

[CaptRon]

I can smell from here. I can even smell it thru my TV

Actually, I'm not sure it's the plane.

The last line of the article is pretty ominous though, isn't it? Even arrogant.

[ncfool]

Its not BHO but its just BO!

[Pan_Yan]

As with many of these stories, the comments are as entertaining as the article. Take this little gem for instance:

Keep it real CBS. The truth is that the Obama campaign is probably the best run campaign in the history of the USA.

Senator Obama is running against the party of a President with a 27% approval rating, using the greatest financial resources ever directed at buying the White House. According to Zogby he is only 2% ahead and can't lock up the electoral map even with one of the greatest voter fraud efforts in modern american history. Talk about detachment from reality.

[SBprone]

I guess Obama’s campaign staff are giving the press a pretty good preview of how an Obama administration will do business.

How many of the campaign staffers will have important jobs in an Obama White House?

[EGPWS]

If McCain and his crew are more likeable, why does the press treat him like he is diseased?

He just doesn't fit the socialist/liberal mold thus, the media treat him as an enemy of the state.

[Protect the Bill of Rights]

Didn’t they just spend $500,000 to refurbush the plane?
I guess cleaning it was a separate item & they decided to save money.

[sibb1213]

Cigarettes on the breath? Bet that is why Dad is stinky.

[trussell]

He just doesn't fit the socialist/liberal mold thus, the media treat him as an enemy of the state.

I forget that's such a major issue with the media...they don't report, they journalize.

[Pan_Yan]

He won the primary. They got what they wanted. In the words of Sam Kinison they used him like a shake and bake bag. Then left him sticky, broke and cold.

[CanadianMusherinMI]

“But in politics, everything that goes around comes around”.
interesting wording, dont sound kind, maybe even threatening. the media can lift a candidate up and they can take them down even faster. a couple nights of obama truth and he would never recover. unfortunately the odds of media goons growing a pair are slim at best. bummer.

[DAVEY CROCKETT]

We will never get the smell out of the White House if he is elected.

[sonic109]

Apparently they are doing something right .
This clown is going to win and we’re in deep trouble.

[Dallas59]

Obama's mascot...
