ObamaChrist...Superstar
The Head man himself just landed at Truax field here in Madison Wisconsin less than 40 minutes ago.
I live not too far from the airport and decided to see Air Force One first hand. I parked my bike not too far from Runway 18, only to be chased away as a "Threat to the President" (along with 3 others who were ready with cameras!).
So I pedaled my bike closer to where I suspected where the Presidents plane would land and park..
I hit paydirt on location.
BUT!!!
My FUCKING Canon S5IS suddenly lost all viewing through the viewfinder and backscreen as Air Force One was landing. So I started snapping photos blind.
I got lucky and manged to catch this of him, I was maybe 275 yards away from this position. Not too bad with a blind camera that now needs to be fixed...which I don't have the money to do...DAMN!!!!
Now...I didn't vote for the man, nor really care for him. But Hey...he's the President. This makes the third US president I've seen with my own eyes...First was Nixon in 68 (shook his hand!), Ford in 76 shook his hand too! and now Obama...Harassed by his security.
*EDIT* Turns out this short visit cost the Tax payers over 1.75 Million dollars, and just the use of the CITY of Madison police, not counting other services, the wall of trash trucks surrounding the school he was at, nor the other county and surrounding townships police units $50K. PLUS AF1 sat at Truax with its engines running on low the 3 hours he was in town...not shut off, IDLING! All this to persuade a Milwaukee mayor to consider running for Governor of Wisconsin. All that expense when they are urging everybody to tighten their belts.
NOT happy about that.

Neat picture! Glad to see him! I did vote for the man, and I like him. hope he survives to the end of his second term.
Unlike what you are saying about me, I don't think he is a messiah, but I do think he's a man who is getting more done in his first 8 months than the last guy did in 8 years. it's progress, not regress. and its something that we have not had under republican rule. I feel sorry for the residents of New jersey and Virginia, as they have the bad guys winning in their states.

and black americans will not believe that they too can become president. that's the most important thing. this is a great litmus test for america. Republicans would not like Obama if he was white, either. they did not like Clinton, so they don't like Obama, either. Race is unfortunately still a factor, and until we don't care the slightest if a guy is black or white, but instead how did he vote? what did he work on? what does he stand for? on a man's merit rather than the color of their skin, we are still far from an equal dream.
And Carter cared about his Soldiers and Veterans, unlike this douche-bag that is making it much more harder for Veterans like me getting benefit compensation. When you qualify for 14 different things, it sucks when you only get 10%. Yet that fuckin' idiot has enough money to bus in inner city kids to have a fuckin' hoola hoop party on the front lawn of the White House.
He said he'd take care of the Veterans no more then a week ago, yet the VA is still working on my G.I. Bill claim. Fuck him, and fuck his racist ass wife.

You know what? I like Obama, and I"m proud to say it. I haven't seen him go off on months of vacation yet, I've seen him busting his ass doing what he thinks is right for our country. Fuck the people who can't handle having a president that's not some old white fuck like the last 42. He's still doing his damn job, and a hell of a lot better than the racist fucks who have nothing to do but throw insults at him all day and talk about wanting to kill him.
I take it you don't watch the news nor get to know people before you talk smack about them. So I'll let you slide.
White-Paw is the last person that I would ever see as a racist human being. Perhaps you see white southern folk that drive trucks and wave that confederate flags as racists but perhaps you should open your eyes just a little bit more to let that light in. Now to the news part, President Obama takes a vacation every time he steps on that plane to go fly somewhere, his administration takes care of the talking and as to not being white he sure was related to all but one.

Here is some news for you, don't choke now.

No, he just jets all over the country and world instead, rare is the man home over a weekend. He's put more miles on AF1 than Bush did in his first term. And personally I could care less what his skin color is. I don't trust a man whos a freshman senator with only 10 months in office before announcing his candidacy for the high office.
The man came here spending over a million dollars of our tax payer dollars to talk at a school and persuade a Milwaukee mayor to run for Governor cause the current Governor is a CORRUPT politician who strong arms even members of his own party to drop out of the Governor's race and a suck up toady to the President and wants a position in his cabinet in the long haul. All for less than a 3 hour visit in a time where everybody is tightening their belts.
No, I never want him killed in office, never said that, I don't want a martyr president. The media already darlings him to excess that he can't do any wrong in their eyes...and I'm not talking FOX. I personally seen him do nothing to improve the situation we're in as promised
I also never voted for him nor McCain. But at least he's no Clinton.

So am I racist because I disapprove of Obama? Or do I disapprove of Obama because I'm racist?
Because according to those like you, those are the only possible reasons for disliking the man. Are you willing to hear my ACTUAL reasons out or will the be ignored for those former two options I hear most often?

Just what he needs.. More PR. It's not like he's on 24/7/365.
Groan.. Sorry I didn't vote for the man. The guy is just not presidential material (who would be with only 140 days worth of experience in the US Senate?).
I'm not picking on you Rabbi... I just think the president is a jerk.

Face it Jim, you do look like a nutcase. I wouldn't let you deliver a cupcake to the WhiteHouse after being X-rayed, strip searched and wrapped in duct tape! On the plus side, I think he (President Obama) would be cool to talk to for an evening.
Ooooh, guess what I got! A main body of a Maverick Missile, and am now chasing down restoration parts!

That and the pillow/20 guage shotgun....ahhhh, never knew Icelanders can roll.

The thing I've always wondered (when it comes to discussions like this) is whether or not people realize that we (as furries) would probably not be welcomed into the republican party with open arms. After all, it was Santorum who said something about gay marriage being akin to marrying animals. So technically, we are one notch below gay people as far as world perception goes.
I've also often wondered that if after some sort of event (the first mainstream furry movie, etc.), and furries were somehow "outed" to the world, if republican furries, like Fisk and Cigarskunk, if they'd be willing to do something like go on Fox news and defend the fandom (even though the furry and conservative seem to be all but polar opposites).
In all honesty, I feel safer as a furry when a democrat is in office.

I don't identify "as a furry" I have made good lifelong friends in the fandumb, I like the art and fiction, but I do identify as a Republican. I don't care either way on gay marriage anymore, and as far as I am concerned, sexuality is not part of fandom, as much as some claim it is, or whine that that's ALL it is.
The fandumb does not need defending. I do not edify your existance, nor you mine, if someone acts like a mook, it is that person, NOT the fandumb as a whole.
Who the hell cares what the world thinks about furries? I don't, and you shouldn't either. I like what I like, and I defend you liking what you like. It's all cool as long as it doesn't cause a murder or a rape.
If you don't feel safe when a Republican is in office, you need to work on you, I think, and not worry about approval. And I offer these words in comradery, not in judgement.

Arg, sorry to hear about the camera's LCD going. Still, good shot for flying blind!
The closest I've gotten to AF1 has been when it's flown over my parents' house - they're occasionally on the landing path. Mostly we just see Marine 1-3, ferrying the Big Cheese and guests to/from Camp David. :3
Cool about being able to shake Nixon's hand! My parents went to his inaugural parade - back then the President et all actually walked alongside their cars, so you could see them / wave to them / etc. It's a damned shame that we as a society can no longer be trusted to accept a political loss in a civilized manner, instead of smashing the other kids' toys like the spoiled brats we are. (Really, now, I don't care if you like the man or not - if everyone gunned down everyone they disagreed with, pretty soon we'd be down to one person per continent, and even then only if the remaining souls couldn't figure out how to cross the oceans flying solo...)

Ah yes, the man who was more concerned with courting the Olympic committee than meeting with the military's top Generals while I and the rest of my unit (among others) were getting shot at on a daily basis in Afghanistan. Bravo sir, showing the Veterans you care.
On the other side, that's a pretty good shot for shooting blind. Nice job!

You saw President Nixon too?? I saw him when I was in .... summer before second grade, I think, he was in the back seat of the limosine with the window down, waving to the people outside that included my parents and me, the impatient little kid who was bored and tired of just standing around whose jaw hit the sidewalk when The President was driven out and I got to actually SEE him!
