re: #79 mattand

Yeah, it’s brutal. GF’s mom just started ranting about something about Obama flying to each stop on his bus tour or something on a C-130; who knows? I just shut the door and fired up Team Fortress 2. Good stress reliever.

My dad shares some of her world view, but he’s politically apathetic enough that he can’t be bothered watching Fox. Count my blessings, I guess…

If she keeps going with it, you could share this link with her:

“even if they had wanted, despite the short distances involved, to fly the buses and/or Obama ahead to the next stop, there simply are not enough airfields in that area of the country that could handle the aircraft involved (certainly not the 747 AF1 and not the C-5A or C-17 cargo aircraft that would have been needed for the buses).”….Mediaite’s White House correspondent Tommy Christopher calls the story “sheer idiocy,” pointing out that a five-minute review of the pool reports from the trip shows that the large contingent of press that travels with the President was with him every step of the way. “There was even one pool report that gave an odometer reading, for crying out loud.”http://www.mediaite.com/online/rush-limbaugh-repeats-fake-allegations-that-obama-faked-his-bus-tour/
