I wouldn't put it passed anyone for trying to take his plane down. The man has got more enemies then the press would like you to know. As a OBAMA supporter I know he is looking at this as something that will not stop his movement. He started something in America and I think he is in it to finish it! OBAMA08!

I know the Caption of the plane that had to make that emergency landing. My dad was in charge of getting a new plane out for him. What happened was the tail emergency slide inflated when in the air. This was not because of Midwest Airlines mechanics made a mistake but while doing a heavy check in Miami the tail slide was installed wrong. He was sent a charter plane from Midwest Airlines and is still flying. To see what his plane looks like check out my videos.
Part 2 of 1 of my ... ( 1 month ago by DirectFilms)
Part 2 of 1 of my comment, see below, When the slide inflated in the plane it was pushing the elevator cable making it harder to control. The Pilot said that as he got closer to the airport the slide started to deflate making it easier to control.
Removing the USA ... ( 1 month ago by obamaxxx)
Removing the USA flag from the tail of the new plane is a straight act of treason.
This trash black guy should be shot dead by the military, who give (and gave) their lives for this flag for centuries. And guess what!! He is trying to be their commender-and-cheif??
What is happening in the USA these days, wake up people, WE NEED ANOTHER Joseph McCarthy immediately to sweep this country off those far leftists, liberals, socialists and communists.
