Originally Posted By WorldDisney God, Obama sucks. Can't believe I voted for this loser. Day of renewal and reconciliation?? What the hell is that? I smell nothing but uneccessary tax dollars being spent on it nothing more. This idiot is probably drawing up war plans against Pakistan and distracting us with this B.S. Yeah, I see 'change' alright Obama, you mean change invasion targets?? Is McCain still hanging around the capitol building, let's get a recall started!
Originally Posted By WorldDisney No, but I'm subscribing tommorrow!!! Because he was right on target with this empty suit loser!!! Obama has been President for 7 hours now and he's been one big dissappointment thus far. Hell, is Air Force One still in the air?? Maybe we can get it turned around and bring Bush back while its not too late!!

Originally Posted By WorldDisney LOL, thanks for all the technical corrections people, but I think everyone knew what I meant since from what I understand it IS the same plane .

It goes on to say, however, that Bush's chopper used that call sign as well. Go figure.
