Earlier today Obama's plane had to make an "emergency" landing because an emergency slide in the rear cone of the plane deployed during flight. The deployment impacted the pilot's ability to steer. The article about the incident says that he was flying on a 1981 MD-80, the same planes that, in recent days, have been taken out of service because of myriad problems. Call me crazy, but I think that after raising hundreds of millions of dollars the Obama campaign could splurge for a campaign plane that was a little more modern and reliable. Jeesh, I mean it's the future President of the United States we're talking about here! I just find this bizarre. Well at least McCain can't accuse Obama of being elitist. Barack's slumming it on old, crappy planes like the rest of us.
