If you want to bring up a similar incident at least tell the whole story.
IIRC, Obama did not order it nor was he on the plane. The air force wanted a photo. The flight was approved by the military person in the White House. They did it on a scheduled training mission.
Obama didn't split the country. He actually received the majority of votes when he won -- both times.
It's the Rs who are working overtime to split the country.
Look at the outrageous lies they post on this forum.
This is the BIG LIE.
Race relations were far better before Obama ever took office. He pulled the "race card" every chance he got, even interfering with criminal investigations and trials. Ex.: Trayvon Martin, a street thug who attempted to beat George Zimmerman to death, and died when he went for Zimmerman's gun and Zimmerman was able to get to it first and shot Martin. Zimmerman was acquitted. But Obama forever referred to Martin as some kind of hero kid, shot by a white man who got away with murder. "If I had a son, he would look like Trayvon Martin," he said. Great ...that's like saying "my son would have been a street thug, which is probably true, since he would have grown up in Chicago.
Obama was the most racist President in U.S. History.
By the way, we do not elect a President by popular vote for good reason: We are a Republic, not a democracy, and the President is elected by the States to be their representative in International Affairs, not as a representative of the people.
These are the times in U.S. History that the President did not receive the nationwide popular vote (as if it matters):
1824, John Quincy Adams
1876, Rutherford B. Hayes
1888, Benjamin Harrison
2000, George W. Bush
2016, Donald J. Trump
Following his call out to Trump's racist base, Pence was off to a fundraiser for “Putin’s favorite congressman,” Congressman Dana Rohrabacher.
"Rohrabacher makes no apologies for his fondness for Russia. who has been so openly supportive of Russia that another Congressman accused him of being on Putin’s payroll."
I'm am not a "racist," dude, and neither are most of Trump's base (allowing for some who may be ...but many Obama supporters are racist too.)
I doubt Putin even knows who Dana Rohrabacher is.
There are a lot of people who are fond of various foreign countries, including Russia. That doesn't make them operatives or spies.
But since you are an OFA member, you hardly have room to talk about who might be a Russian operative. You are working with Obama's "shadow government" to attempt an overthrow of the Trump Administration.
What sense is it that the Vice President of the United States goes all the way from Vegas to Indy to watch a Colt game, and then leave, "in protest," when folk kneel down, and go to LA? Don't give me that "he's from Indy" excuse! The Rams were home, yesterday, and I'm sure folk knelt there, too......!
Have you (and a host of others) forgotten about the time 0bama took AirForce One on a low-flying sight-seeing trip of NYC? Scared the holy heck out of NY-ers. That little snafu was the epitome of FAIL.
Air Force One is an air traffic control call for any plane carrying POTUS. This particular flight did not use the Air Force One call because the POTUS was not onboard.
Instead, a high ranking military officer authorized the flyover for an iconic photo op and failed to appropriately notify anyone who needed to know. The officer subsequently resigned.
The photo op cost $329,000. No shortage of government employees think nothing of spending serious $ on goofy stuff. Trump/Pence's stunt just happens to be the latest.
I really think Pence is worse than Trump. Trump is an unethical, self-centered lout, but he is true to himself. For all of his faults Trump is just being Trump.
Pence OTOH is an opportunistic slimeball. He knows better. He claims to be a patriotic wholesome Christian, yet he sold out all of his beliefs when he joined up with Trump. If Pence had any moral bedrock he would have left Trump upon learning of his immoral behavior. If Pence was a true patriot he would have left Trump when he trashed a POW veteran's service. Pence has no real principles, he will sacrifice them all in his quest for power.
Because the stunt cost a lot of tax payer money, and turning your back and walking out disrespects the flag, the military and the nation.
Odd critical thinking.
The Veep was there for the Anthem, the Flag & for Peyton (who was being honored).
He "turned his back" & walked out on the weenie Football Players and weenie Owners (& the VERY Weak product that the NFL puts out.... which has steadily been more of an inferior product every year since the late 80s).
