Obama's Plane Smells

The McCain campaign plane is better than Obama's, which is cramped, uncomfortable and smells terrible most of the time. Somehow the McCain folks manage to keep their charter clean, even where the press is seated.

I always base my choice of president on how clean his plane smells.

That's a very good meter, Goth.

Funny... I just did the old scratch-n-sniff, and this thread smells too.

People who live in smelly houses shouldn't throw Airwicks.

Goth, are you McCain supporters really this desperate? Pathetic is what you all are. I mean, seriously?

I guess McCain has more experience on how to keep planes smelling fresh, since he owns one. The man with 13 cars, 8 homes, and a plane who calls Obama an elitist. Put McCain in a retirement home already!

Goth, you trolls will have to do better than this. Petty whiners.

THIS is what the public is supposed to use to gauge the viability of candidates?!?

I don't CARE what it's like for the reporter on this beat. At all.

I care about what the campaigns are offering to the country.

This is insulting, as is almost everything else to do with this election.

It must be pretty lonely being Goth. Poor dear can't even come up with his own thoughts and has to post links to the most obscure and utter nonsense.

"Pathetic is what you all are. I mean, seriously? "

I'd be careful of the use of the word "all", romantico.

every McCain supporter is NOT pathetic.

relax.

EVERY McCain supporter IS pathetic........doesn't take rocket science to figure that out

I don't know if they're ALL pathetic, more demented than anything.

Go ahead Roth, just come out and say it. The colored people just don't take care of their property.

Whatever you say, Elphaba and tofu. You're pretty good at name calling, no?

I stand by my comments. It is my opinion that they will resort to anything no matter how low to make sure "their guy" gets in.

ok, well, I guess I posted in a political thread against my better judgement.

My bad

"every McCain supporter is NOT pathetic. "


With the exception of Elisabeth Hasselback and Joe Lieberman, I don't know one John McCain supporter the man has not alienated in someway or thrown under the bus.

At least when Obama contradicts himself or his policies he offers a reason and doesn't skirt the issue. He actually says yes, I've changed my mind and here is why. McCain pretends like the whole thing never happened... uh maybe it didn't in his mind.

I don't understand how any McCain support can stand behind the man. He could give two sh!ts about all of his constituents. Just look at how he's backstabbed veterans, immigrants, women, blacks, Latinos, Jews, Evangelicals, the media, his wives, conservatives (to name a few).

I must agree with Jane2. Not every McCain supporter is pathetic. A good number of them are downright frightening.

Didn't Michelle Obama warn us about this during the primary? I can't find the interview but I was sure she said that the girls don't like to get into bed with their daddy in the morning because he's so "Snore-y and stink-y."

This was just . . . weird.

I mean, it's THIS close to the old "black people's houses smell funny . . . " which, trust me, I heard more than once growning up in the south (not, I assure you, from my own family).

This is clearly a critical issue facing our country and will be a key factor as I contemplate my vote in the coming weeks.

Me too, Calvin. Along with Mustachegate.

Well, not to be serious for a moment, but...

This is pretty much a standard story every election. There usually is one campaign every reporter wants to follow and the other that isn't so popular. So, you end up with one plane flying well under capacity (McCain) which means the cabin attendants can tidy up more often, better drink service and more snacks to go around. The other one is packed full, with way too many people, suitcases and trash.

I remember during one of Ted Kennedy's campaigns reading that his plane was so crowded that reporters were sitting in the aisles and there just weren't enough sandwiches to go around. One dispatch detailed starving reporters raiding a salad bar at a restaurant where Kennedy had stopped to shake hands. The reporters were grabbing handfuls of whatever looked good as they went past.

well McCain is rich enough to hire extra staff in order to clean his plane...because he has alot of money doesn't make him an elitist

This story smells - like racism.

Next we will hear that it smells like barbeque potato chips and grape soda.

Why wasn't this a question in the town hall debate? If he can't take care of a plane, how can he run a country? And if the plane smells, he's obviously a terrorist. I heard that all the planes that crashed on 9/11 may have had a peculiar smell, though it hasn't been officially confirmed yet and I think one of the people on one of those planes knew someone who might have known someone who was either friends or a relative of a man with the last name beginning with an "A", which we all obviously know can only be William Ayers, which means Obama caused 9/11 as well as Katrina, the bombings in London and Madrid, and the housing crisis that resulted in this financial crash. It's all a plot set into motion by that one man with a middle name that only matches that one in Iraq and is now trying to force us all to be Taliban muslin by flying a stinky plane.
