Retired airline pilot Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger, who landed the famous "miracle on the Hudson," said Monday that this is not the America I know and love in a message encouraging voter participation ahead of the midterm elections.
Sullenberger wrote an op-ed in The Washington Post that he witnessed the best in people on Jan. 15, 2009, when he led 154 people to safety by making an emergency landing on the Hudson River after a malfunction. ADVERTISEMENT
"To navigate complex challenges, all leaders must take responsibility and have a moral compass grounded in competence, integrity and concern for the greater good," he wrote.
Tragically, people in positions in power today are not projecting their best, Sullenberger wrote.
Many are cowardly, complicit enablers, acting against the interests of the United States, our allies and democracy; encouraging extremists at home and emboldening our adversaries abroad; and threatening the livability of our planet.

Concur. He’s tactfully expressing disgust with the Deep State without calling them by name.
Let’s see how fast the DNC dresses him up and prepares him for a Senate run, or worse. They have no one appealing.
or maybe..good pilot, terrible public speaker.
Around 1982 I was working out of the Federal Building in Norfolk. I had an investigation on a guy who it turned out was the Son of an airline pilot.
It turned out to be nothing but the guy I met was the pilot out front working in his yard. The old guy was probably in his 60s. He must have been very senior as he was making over $120,000 a year and that was 1982 dollars.
Anyway we got into a conversation and the guy was one of the most pleasant people I have ever met. I did not know anything about flying and he patiently answered my questions and he clearly knew what he was talking about.
One thing was I was in a jet landing in Wichita and began to hear a real screech from somewhere. All the passengers were looking at each other. He told me it was probably an air bearing in an engine. Not a critical happening tho he said they could really make a noise.
Oh yes, he was very conservative. Also gave you the feeling that you could put your life in his hands and be as safe as possible.
The fact that it appeared on the WaPo is a clue.
Another miseducated globalist heard from.
“threatening the livability of our planet.
How many thousands of tons of co2 has this idiot spewed over the years he was collecting a paycheck ?
Many are cowardly, complicit enablers, acting against the interests of the United States, our allies and democracy; encouraging extremists at home and emboldening our adversaries abroad; and threatening the livability of our planet.
He could have easily said, “Democrats are cowardly, complicit enablers, acting against the interests of the United States, our allies and democracy; encouraging extremists at home and emboldening our adversaries abroad; and threatening the livability of our planet.”
Every point in that statement applies to Democrats, not Republicans. Even the threatening the livability of our plant statement can be taken to mean the progressive funding of domestic terrorists and illegals.
Sully was 18th Squadron Class of ‘73. I was next door in 19th Squadron Class of ‘73. Sully is an honorable man who happens to be a registered Republican. I trust he will vote with us in November.
“Maybe Im misreading it, but it sounds like hes on our side, folks.
Then again, I read the whole thing, so wadda I know.”
Not DIRECTLY related to politics, so trust Big Media?
NOPE.
Sully the Whore sold out immediately after Trump’s inauguration.

Smart man. Either piss everyone off or make them all cheer for you. Only in the good old USA does it go 50/50 because if ignorance. Lol.
If he is against me then he is against me. But he didnt really say one or the other.
I’m disappointed once again to see so many here WANTING to trust Big Media....

don't wanna make a habit of it
Is he running for office then?
Regardless, here's a reminder to all that the Miracle on the Hudson was a Redemption sign on the 15th day of the 1st month, 5 days *before* the Inauguration of Desolation. Diaspora central. Trump central. Relief already in sight, the cure provided ahead of the disease. Date puns and aircraft wings as an eagle's wings carrying the passengers on "dry land". You can't make this stuff up.
I did my homework in real time, but don't take my word for it, check the first verse of the day's Chumash section. Pakod pakadeti.
In the place exactly where the date is stated (15th day of the 1st month, Num 33.3), you can see Obama written in every other letter, with the alt letters reading she'nachash (who is a serpent). Specifically in these two words:
הראשון בחמשה
And here we are, on the flip side, almost. Obviously it's all organized and under control.
There's a whole lot more but these few details ought to be useful enough.
Give him a break. He will not sway votes.
Did he hit his head on the cockpit dashboard?
Sad to hear a good man go off the track.
His credibility went straight to zero when he decided to do this the week before an election.
A rather generic anodyne statement that could apply to many pols on either side of the aisle. But then he had to throw in the global warming canard. Ugh....
He’s an ass. My company hired him to speak at our company picnic. He’s an egotistical ass.
I'm with you Tomkat, the #NPC from the misdirection stream of unconssienceness media that wrote this drivel probably quoted him out of context and selectivity edited the parts that would have cleared things up.
The article almost makes no point whatsoever as it is.

???IT WAS BECAUSE OF A 2 ENGINE BIRD STRIKE THAT KILLED BOTH ENGINES!!!
I hate stupid snewz attempts at being reporters. #dip$h!t$
