CNN

Funny the polls show Obama just 3 to 6 points ahead of McCain. That is really not that great for Obama, is it!

Senator Obama safely decended the stairs today. One of them creaked, an investigation showed that a nail was not pounded down all the way. We can all breat a sigh of relief again.

If he gets in a car accident, or makes some groundbreaking proposal thats news. Not that he landed safely or that he changed venues for his speach. Lets cover real news CNN like the Riots in Mongolia.

Obama don't have a ego problem, he is very confident, smart and intelligent and happen to be black! most racist whites can't handle that!! What are you racist's scared of? Karma? or Obama turning into flavor flav? LOL. Bush is the one who was arrogant, big ego and stubborn!!

Too bad the plane didn't crash. The world would be much better off with out him and his unpatriotic wife. They are both frauds and cowards and trash

Thank you Lord for keeping your strong arms of protection around Barack Obama, his family and staff. Prayer is very powerful and just think of the power in God's hands right now. Every confessed believer pray for our country and the leader that God has for us. Bless you, Mr. Obama.....keep the faith!!!! Oh yes, thank you God for the pilot being at the right place at the right time!

Some years ago I flew on a plane that couldn't extend its flaps for landing, leading to a serious risk of stall and crash. We were diverted and we too were greeted with fire trucks for safety's sake.
That never made the news!
'Ooo, but it's Obama! He's the victim of a world conspiracy against him! It's so much more brave of him to survive such an incident!'

G8 world power # 1 with a struggling economy because of our republicans friends. We need to vote change to change this mess with our economy. Vote democratic this November if you want to leave the American dream which is have a job, be able to pay for education, and have a home to live in.

To my fellow bloggers, HATERS supporters of Obama, McCain, Bush and the Clintons, we are all to blame for the contributing to acting and being prejudice, hateful and mean on these comments. Please stop the finger pointing to others, and admit to your own wrong doing Just felt the need to tell the truth about all and not just set of candidates voters……

Be careful what you hope or wish for someone else, it may be your own fait…

Why is this making news? Dozens of commercial planes are diverted every week because of technical problems. Why is Obama hogging the news again? Why does he think his incident is anything special?

Let the conspiracy-fest begin! 'Ooo, look how brave Obama is flying a plane rigged against him by the racist world conspiracy.'

Glad Senator Obama and everyone on the plane was safe.
God always make away, for those who are interested go to Obama's website, they sent out emails for a lottery to attend DNC in Colorado.

Seems that Obama's security is going to have to check out planes from now on.

God bless the pilot, God bless our future President and God Bless America!

We need prayer everyone, so please pray

PUMA must responsible/ All that channelled hatred and bitterness must have made it to the plane.

Obama supporters are mild in comparison to the nasty and hateful, PUMA posters. They are the new low. Read their site sometime, they ara all about hate and division. They should be exterminated like the vermin they are.
They could make Rush Limpbough cringe.

Be safe Mr. President and may God bless you and your family.

You will fill up the Denver football stadium in a heartbeat.

Go Denver! Try and beat our record here in Portland, Oregon, BTW I was at the rally at Waterfront Park and all 75.000 of us were there to see our future president, not the band that played before his speech, It was all about the man, so don't be fooled by the haters who claim it was a "rock concert" . The line was 22 city blocks long and the wait was 5 hours, and I would gladly do it again.

GO OBAMA '08

YES WE CAN!

This is news? I'm sorry, but Obama has many issues he should be addressing if he expects voters to take him seriously.

Just like I've been saying, this man wants too much attention.

ADDRESS THE ISSUES YOU SELF PROCLAIMED "DIFFERENT POLITIC[IAN]".

gary your an idiot i bet im not the only that ever said that to you eh...what a dummy

There were no rockets, no birds that hit the plane . But think about it., three planes today. One hit by a bird and dented in the front another plane almost hit my a rocket and now this, We have got to have our planes repaired in this country not somewhere else.

I heard J.J. the Jet Plane was his new replacement..

this is what you call pandering... where is the news......no news is good news when it comes to barack...... why not take an ordiniary plane like us peons doo........ is this beneath him.......money is waiting got a go got a go.......change ain't in the air

This is what Hillary had in mind when she only "suspended" her campaign rather than actually ending it.

Why is it that in todays speech from Senator Obama all we heard was what McCains economic plan was? While I may not fully embrace McCain, at least he has a plan.

I can hear McCain now ... "First he said he was going to Charlotte, then he said he was going to St. Louis ... first he said he was going to wear his seatbelt loose, then he said he tightened it". Ummm, Johnny???? Sometimes new information causes a person to use JUDGEMENT to change their position .. but you wouldn't understand that, your twin has not used judgement his entire candidacy,,, and look where it has gotten us.

Yep.. a plane had to land for maintenance purposes. This gives PUMAs and others a perfect reason to attack.

I would say that the point of a blog is to comment on the story, but there is no story here.

You PUMAS and haters... just stop whining and vote for McCain, write in Hillary, or stay home. How long can you possibly keep complaining about the same thing over, and over, and over, and over. Just shut up until November. You people have no lives.

Obama will walk on water next, I can see it coming!!! Lead us to glory and everlasting peace!!!

hahaha...its seems like a fairy tale. The man is paranoid.

JUST ANOTHER GIMMICK OF OBAMA'S TO GET HIS NAME IN THE NEWS FOR FREE!!!

Obama was not the only one on board that God was watching over. Obama is full of himself and so are his supporters.

Who cares! We would be better off if he didn't make it. Was a Dem but will never vote that way again.

You say you want a revolution
Well, you know
We all want to change the world
You tell me that it's evolution
Well, you know
We all want to change the world
But when you talk about destruction
Don't you know that you can count me out
Don't you know it's gonna be all right
all right, all right

A revolution is starting, momentum is building, young people are going to take our country back! Obama '08

USAF Staff Sergeant,

That was a funniest post. McCain would even say Obama wanted to crash the plane on a building like 9/11

LOL!

Who cares! We would be better off if he does even get to election day. Always a dem until now.

Yes I know I should vote the republicans out of office because they got us where we are now. But, I do like the fact that it is the republicans who don't like ear marks. Ear marks add dollars to any bill for unrelated projects. Could it be that the Democrates actually made the spending by the government worse by tacking on these ear marks to every other unrelated bill. Did the Democrates exacerbate the problems of the government overspending realising all the time that an election year was coming up and they wanted the Republicans economic policies to look bad due to over spending? It is too bad that we feel we must have a two party system because now both sides are willing to hurt the country economically as long as it has some benefit to their little party. This the United States of America any more. It is the divided partys of America.

A "TECHNICAL PROBLEM" RIGHT? I BET... "SHAME ON HILLARY" I REALLY DOUBT CLINTON WILL BE "HAPPY" THAT SOMETHING BAD HAPPENED TO OBAMA, I THINK MCCAIN WOULD BE THE ONE HAPPY IF SOMETHING BAD HAPPENED TO HIM BY THE WAY...

UNITED WE'RE STRONGER

OBAMA (P) & CLINTON (VP) 2008-2014

NO TO "BUSH II" (MCCAIN), NO TO MR. WAR, MR. DEATH, MR. OOPS I BUMP MY HEAD A LOT, YOU ARE "WAR-SICK" BEACAUSE OF VIETNAM, YOU CAN'T BE PRESIDENT!

Hillary would be in line for the job!!! Happy trails BHO!!!

any one wonder at all if there was freee drinking while this whole thing was evolving. hopefully there wasa good merlot or a nice italian vep on board.
so much for dealing with crisis. dang folks needs emergemgy booze
ina serious situation.pilots excludeed of course.give the flight atendant soem boox and maybe a dance, hell it would be stress freee.
thongs are proper d ecoir.

if they were flying for Chicago to NorthCarolina, why did they fly toward and land in st louis. Did the pilot know the direction of where north, east south and west is??????

CW4BARACK (and others of your ilk). All you have, at the end of the day, are ad hominem attacks, silly puns, and invective. The only thing Republicans like me wish about Obama is that he wasn't a liberal. You really should crawl back into you tiny intellectual cave and resume looking at the shadows on the wall.

As a devout conservative Christian from South Carolina, I do not wish to hear anything else from Senator McCain until he apologizes to Pastor Haggee for calling a part of his teaching "crazy." Otherwise, he has lost my vote and I invite other true Chrisrtians to take a stand and join me. As I perceive it, there are few insults that are more offensive to our Lord's Church than what Senator McCain said.
Prophet John 2:55 PM

Remember Ron Brown and the black box......I think it was the Clintons that had that plane taken care of then .

Be careful Mr Obama Hillary still wants to be President. I think she will try anything at this point.

I didn't think he needed a plane to fly. The MSM thinks he's Superman, and so does he......

His ego and his big head must be getting too heavy to allow liftoff under his own power

Jeff – Did his ego get caught in the propeller
Typical White Person- And here come the conspiracy theories that will blame the Clintons for this somehow
gary -The Clintons at work .......are YOU guys related or just 3 IDIOTS

CNN- are you losing your minds. Why is this open for comments? Are you inviting hateful people to make unspeakable comments?

McCain 08

After some of the "sick and racist" comments posted here. Obama had better be careful. The evil doers are getting scared that he may get elected and thats when they become desparate and resort to insane acts, against anyone that stands for truth. I hope God will protect him and his family.

can someone spell whose messing with Obama's plane? I smell a rat out their and i do not trust any of the capitalist pigs either never did never will

"The Pilot what he was doing" (Quote). Yes but does Obama???Experience, Experience, Experience.....

Well, it looks like Senator Obama got a taste of what the rest of us have to endure every time we fly. No mechanical problems aren't as common as TSA screenings, nickeled and dimed to death for everything from checking baggage to food. The present state of the airline industry in this country, save Southwest, was lack of planning, poor management, egos and a lot more.

If British Airways wants to buy American and turn it into a real airline, let them do it. As for Senator Obama, remember that train trip he took in PA. Well, there's nothing like a whistle stop campaign in a lot of big state like Ohio, Pennsylvania, Florida and more. Sure he can afford to charter that car he had in PA again.

Join my boycott. Stay home, travel by car or train, but don't give those airline bums another cent. I won't ever start on the "Department of Homeland Stupidity" making 90 year old ladies take off their shoes. Is this a great country or what?

It just amazes me how some people are so willing to compare an inspired electorate with Nazi Germany or robots or worshipers of some Messiah or followers of some king. We're inspired. We have hope. I think that's a good thing. For the first time in a long time, millions of Americans have hope. And yet we are being denigrated for it. It would be better for us to feel hopeless and vote for McCain, I guess, and keep things as screwed up (or worse) as they are now.

I'll take hope any day.

This the kind of dirty tricks that Rove would do, and the coward Cheney

TO SHAME ON HILLARY – WHAT? Are you some kind of idiot? After I was beginning to see things Obama's way and thinking he might not be too bad after all. THEN – UP jumps people like you and some more of these great supporters that keep saying terrible things about Hillary. If that is all you people think that someone wants to do the man in then tell the Secret Service. That is what they're for. IN THE MEANTIME SHUT THE HELL UP. BEFORE YOU BRING SOME SICK-O's ATTENTION TO YOUR SUBJECT.
THANKS TO YOU AND OTHER OF HIS SUPPORTERS YOU HAVE JUST FOR SURE LOST HIM ANOTHER VOTE. IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE I WAS LEANING TOWARD HIM READ THE COMMENTS MADE ABOUT HIM I WROTE ON THE ARTICLE TELLING OF HIS ACCEPTING THE NOMINATION AT MILE-HIGH-STADIUM.

Where are the Lefty Wingbats who will blame this on Karl Rove???!!!

Oh lord thank you for keeping the OBAMAS safe we really need them more than ever. In JESUS name I pray. AMEN.

Why did Senator Obama change the plane he used during the campaign? That airplane had " North American " pianted on the body and a Large Flag painted on the tail.
I recently read that he was using Senator Clinton's old plane when they went to UNITY, NH. Can someone clear this up?

Thank You !

gO oBAMA gO!!

Maybe the republican have something to do with this ?

wow im surprised you obama zealots havent started yelling about needing an investigation into this incident. arent hillary and the republicans responsible? maybe bill clinton had a hand in it, or karl rove? haha haha you fanatical obama freaks are just pathetic.

SO my question is if this was McCain's plane what would you all be writting? I am sure the word crash would be in there.

As far as what "Texas Trail Dog" wants...Hillary as VP...I know I would not be voting for him as well as most of my family and friends. While you claim he would get 20% more votes, you have to count on those of us who would vote for HRC only when hell froze over and that would still be a difficult thing to do.

I notice that Mr. Obama's plane is just an ordinary plane too. Not one like the one the arrogant Mr. McCain has with his name painted all over it.

Thank God he is alive, FYI nothing will happen to Barrack

God has a plan for Obama. He'll be fine.

O/08

Thank God he is alive, FYI nothing will happen to Barrack

ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Typical White Person........ And here come the conspiracy theories that will blame the Clintons for this somehow…
GARY..........THE Clintons at Work
Jeff ......... Did his ego get caught in the propeller
Typical White Person ,Gary and Jeff........are you GUYS RELATED or
3 IDIOTS!!!!

Has anyone checked to see where Rove and Cheney were?

I wouldn't put sabotage past them.... or any other facist.... sorry I meant to say Republican.

I'm confused...why would a plane going fron Chicago to Charlotte, land at St. Louis. There are hundreds of more convenient airports in route.

Too bad it made it to St. Louis!!!!

how is this news?

on his way to charlotte?? i dont want him here!!!

i hope the maintenance isnt OUTSOURCED to inept countries like all of our commerical airlines are!!!!

It's Bush's fault.

this is REALLY scary!!!! Paul Wellstone, anyone???

I pray that God will continue to guide and bless our soon to be President Obama.

CNN can we talk about something a bit more important than technical problems on Obama's flight?

How about discussing how the candidates plan to rebuild the American infastructure? What about our levies, bridges, Social Security, Educational system, housing crisis?

I want to see more about how different Obama is from McSame and its about time that more Americans become aware of these differences as well!

I like how Obama tends to joke things off. I think this shows he can handle the stress that comes with being president. This is only news, however, because Obama had to relocate an event from Charlotte to St. Louis. Maybe you ought to mention that tidbit of information in the article next time.

BELLE, PLEASE, PLEASE STOP YOUR BELLY ACHIN,HATING AND COM;LAINNNNING, if you don't want to vote for Sen. Obama DON'T .
gO VOTE FOR mCcAIN OR WHO EVER YOU PLEASE JUST SHUT up
please enough all ready. you're such a hater.
We all need changes in this world we need to move on.
Please this is for (BELLE) to read and for her and all other haters to get this msg and get over it.
Who cares what they spew out out their mouth. people will be voting for (THE NEXT PRESD. and it may well be be Sen. OBAMA no matter what she and other may say. May GOD keep and watch over Sen. Obama and his family and supporters, and all of the country for us to move foward in a different direction.

Was Bill Clinton the Pilot.

Thank you CNN for keeping us updated with this important information. Senator Obama is going to be our next President.
America wants to hear everything that relates to him.
He is so much more interesting than John McCain.
When news comes on concerning Obama people stop and listen!

I am happy all went well.

Obama 08

I want to see a full investigation into the cause of the airplane's mechanical problem that resulted in the temporary loss of pitch control. Never be afraid to question such matters: wether the problem was cause intentionally or not. Its all about getting to the truth. Those that fear the truth will not want you to question anything or anyone. Dear God, protect Senator Obama and his family from the many danger that lurk around them. Amen.

It's so sad to hear so many sick fools talk about bad things happen to people. An God child at that. You shouldn't wish bad things on anyone because at the end that same person that you wish bad on will be the one you need at the end.
See one day when something bad happen to you and you are looking crazy saying to yourself why me. You don't need to think hard about it. Because when it an child of God, he will put it back on you 10 times as worst then you wish for. Oh yah it will come back on you, you can bet on that.
But one thing I must say is that the Lord will watch over his children at all times. See faith is a powerful word and a good word when in time of need. This is a good sign. The Lord is always working.

Not to worry! OBAMA will soon be Upgrading to Air Force 1!!! Yeah baby!

OBama 08

Obama was selected, not elected. He is trying to re-enact the "I have a Dream speech" given by MLK. MLK gave this speech on August 28, 1963 and Obama is giving his speech on August 28, 2008. Obama is only in this for himself and not the people of America.

So?

People need to understand that CNN needs to report this because if something were to happen later like they find something was tampered with then people would wonder why it was not reported initially.

Thank You CNN for this story keep bringing them.

I won't be voting for him.

I am a Hillary supporter forever, not changing any course.

If Hillary can't win, then I will vote for Daddy McCain.

Keep the good news on McCain coming CNN. Great job.

I won't be voting for OBAMA because of his racist wife.

VOTE MCCAIN 2008.

Come on people. If this were your son or daughter on a plane and it made the news would you be so harsh. You nut cases that have to continually find someone to blame should not be allowed to have their comments placed here. To blame the Clintons or any other perons is utterly insane. The pilot and the crew ought to thanked and thanked a hundredfold for taking the proper action regardless who was on the aircraft. Thank GOD that everything was alright, everone safe. May God continually look upon people in general and especially our politicians. Isn't this country going through enough without the crazies blaming, blaming, blaming?

Who cares!!!!

New Age Klan-I hope and pray you are somewhere north of the Mason-Dixon Line! The South has a bad enough name from your years of sicko influence; we certainly don't need anymore. Thankful for the safe landing for Sen. Obama and all those aboard.

OBAMA/BIDEN '08

HE that keepeth 'Israe'l will neither sleep nor slumber; the Lord is your strength ...........Please read Isiah 54 v 17.
That is for Barack Obama.

Boo Hoo who cares

Independent Voter said:

The military could all wear uniforms and march in 20 or 30 abreast.
_________________________________________________

You forgot something...hold it at night and have the military march in carrying torches

You're right...scary stuff!

This was the only way that McCain could have the network news coverage to himself! I fall asleep whenever this guy tries to talk!!!

Once again the anti-Hillarites will cry out injustice, blaming poor Mrs. Clinton for perhaps secretly draining away gas from Obama's plane. You really have to wonder if some of these politically paranoid supporters of our beloved Barack haven't got something better to do than blame the world for everything that happenes to Senator. and Mrs. Obama. As for all of you claiming God protected him in his hour of need, don't you think God has something better to do than get involved in politics??? Not!

Start looking for a lot of in-flight "technical problems" since the airlines were allowed to outsource their maintenance for cheaper wages following 9/11

Glad it wasn't serious_________this time.

TOO BAD!

A reason to keep Hillary Clinton around and as Obama's VP choice. It would be a shoe-in if something happened to Obama.

Obama/Hillary Clinton 2008

For all who say this isn't news, seems to me they are taking quite a bit of interest - to bother writing a comment? Of course it's news. Not earth-shaking, but still news.

Dear God, please bless Barack Obama and his family and protect them from any evil (including Repugnants and Hillary Clinton) or harm that may come their way.

B.O.) be careful.I feel there are people out there that will do anything.Im so afraid for you.i feel so strongly that they are planning.its sad in america we yet have to worry about things like this.thank God you and crew are find.

Happy to hear that everyone is OK. God be with all of you. Stay safe!!!

DEMOCRATS UNITE!!!

McCain was last seen running from the plane just before it took off.

That means he's wandering somewhere around my neighborhood. Let me go find the brother! I'm glad he and his entourage are safe.

Glad he and all aboard are safe.Im sure Limbaugh and his mindless dittoheads were hoping for the worst.He just said he knows I listen to him spew his BS and he is correct.We have to keep our friends close and our enemies closer.I also list and call all his sponsors and tell everyone I know to boycott them.Dittoheads use up to 30 or more names to spew their BS on the blogs.You can tell who they are by now Im sure.

I hope it is not the work of any evil people.....

God bless Obama!!!

Obama has a plane? Why did everyone get upset when McCain replaced his bus with a plane?

Wow – that's serious political news. Instead of a collective sigh of relief that nobody was hurt, all of these right-wing loosers can berate Obama and Obama supporters can reciprocate with comments such as "thank god he's ok", etc... Is this really ticker material? My primary concern is that I hope everyone managed to get their carry-on luggage off of the plane without further incident.

We are continually praying for Obama. We are praying for the American people. We are asking God to hold Obama and his family in safety. Wish the best blessings for everyone on this site as well. Let go of the bitterness. Lets just love and get on with this change thing. R you not ready? And I did like the comment about our President to be getting ready for the AIR FORCE ONE. If Hillary is meant to be – it will be. We got some bright Democrats who got it going on. Lets do this. God bless all the families. Saw you in Ohio Obama!!!!!

Nancy – July 7th, 2008 12:19 pm ET

Obama remained in his seat?

What does that say about this man? He is able to size up a situation by getting the facts, and is not afraid to follow his intellect afterwards.

MAYBE it just means the pilot said "Please remain in your seats". No, clearly that can't be it. It must be a sign of Obama's superior something or other.

There are people who realize this is garbage and not news...

And then there are the people who are idiots and respond to this, as if it were a real news article.

How many times did BO go to the bathroom today?

What did BO have for breakfast?

BO stinks. This guy is worse than the BO in that episode of Seinfeld where Jerry has to sell his car, due to the repulsive BO smell. BO stinks-always has, always will.

He'll crash land our economy and social system to.

Typical White Person ........ And here come the conspiracy theories that will blame the Clintons for this somehow
gary........ The Clintons at work..........OH MY GOD ..... Typical White Person and gary are you guys RELATED or just 2 IDIOTS!!!!

Voter, Omaha NE July 7th, 2008 12:15 pm ET

Is anyone at all investigating the allegations that a majority of Obama's financial support online is coming from a few credit card accounts in the Middle East such as Iran, Iraq, Saudi Arabia and China?! Has the whole country gone stark-raving mad and made Obama king and god?!

____________________________________________________

Has anyone at all investigated the FACT that most of John Mccains team are BIG oil lobbyist including Mr. Gee McCain would do GREAT if there is an attack on US soil Black, or why McCain is soooo afraid to release his Military record, what does he have to hide, or Hispanic Outreach Director." Juan Hernandez believes there should be no border at all between Mexico and the USA, ever, or McCains involvement in the 1967 tragedy, USS Forrestal...Google it, or the "McCain Bill" that made it almost impossible to get our POWs home?
LOOK YOU SILLY WABBIT...TRICKS ARE FOR KIDS AND REPUBLICAS...stop playing. ONE LOVE SWEETIE

God bless Obama in Jesus name.Amen.

How do you get tickets to the stadium?

Thank God Barack and his staff are okay.

There is no way the people with the nasty comments can be Christians. Maybe we need a little reminder. Matt 12:36 & 37: “But I say to you that foe every idle word men may speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment. For by your words you will be justified and by your words you will be condemned. “

Of course he stayed in his seat. Isn't that what the pilot tells you to do during an emergency landing? Even the flight attendants SIT DOWN. Give Barack a break people. These comments are just crazy.

He's not on Airforce One yet, but he will be.

Thank goodness the pilots are safe.

What's up with that!

*********************************************
THATS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU OVERWORKED YOUR PLANE. HE SHOULD HAVE BEEN FLYING AIR FORCE ONE ANYWAYS AND LET THE WORST PRESIDENT IN THE U.S. HISTORY RIDE THIS ONE.

Charlotte, NC is waiting still. And we will welcome Sen Obama with open arms.

Obama 08"

In light of his safe landing, perhaps Obama should call his new plane "The Spirit of St. Louis".........he'll continue through the campaign in good spirits and in safety. God be with you and you family!!!!

I will be praying that Senator Obamas' plane, and any other politician's plane, for that matter, is safe and sound.

We ask Lord that you protect both Senators (Obama and McCain), while they travel back and forth during this election season.

Amen

I did the first posting on this story when CNN first put it up. Yet, nowhere is it to be found. Not one offensive comment or word in it. Just questioning why CNN shuts down postings after 53 comments on one story, yet others to run up into the 300s. Hmmm? Curious. Isn't it?

I was prepared to blog and say "Thank God the plane landed safely." Then I read where someone said "The Clinton's are behind this." So I changed my prayer to "God bless the ignorant."

Glad you are O.K. Mr. Obama.

Now get back on your plane and go back to Chicago.

America doesn't want you to be President.

Thank you God for bringing him to the ground safely....
I pray for Obama daily.....

Where is Air Force One??????? Ohhh, couple of months more.

I got a enough humour to make sure the jets are safe before flying.

All these comments, and no haters made a "hot air kept him airborne" joke?

Republicans are getting half-hearted. I would be too if I felt obligated to vote Republican.

TO RUNNING SCARED REPUBLICANS: THE CLINTONS HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH OBAMA'S AIRCRAFT BUT WERE THE WINGS THAT CARRIED HIM TO SAFETY. NOW PUT THAT IN YOUR PIPE AND SMOKE IT.

I smell something goofy! Are they sure its technical difficulties with the plane or the McSame team/anti-Obamas has finally injected a worm into the apple by using the pilots or whoever is in charge to get to Obama and delay/frustrate him? I usually try to stay positive but cannot shake this off my mind? I think this should not happen! A clearer explanation should be given as to why they did not make a smooth ride happen for President-to-be Obama!

Ya know Typical White Person is right.
Blame it on Bill and Hillery, they allway's blame somebody else,
like they blamed the Ropublicans for the bad press they got last
week, who did the flip flopping, Barrack

President Obama; stay safe. I hope you and your crew have a nice stay here at the Hotel.

God loves us all! Barack Obama is in his good favor!

Some people out there think that the Clinton's may be up to dirty tricks? Shame on those people.

The Clintons are fine, decent, honest upstanding people. They would never stoop to any evil doings!

Thank god you landed safly .Wish you best of luck in your strive for
beter American Int. image.

What's wrong, the Messiah can't fix it by himself?

Such a wimp

iT'S HARD TO BELIEVE SOME OF THE COMMENTS HERE. THERE ARE SOME REALLY SICK PEOPLE IN THIS COUNTRY.

Obama, God is trying to get your attention. What will it take?

Thats too bad all ended well and nothing more came of this one...
Oh well next time maybe lol....

Bush's fault, clearly

ATTN: BASHERS OF OBAMA

yes it is a big deal as it would be no matter who was in the plane and no it is not due to clintons. things happen that are beyound control even in the air. i am so thankful the plane landed safe not just for obama but the whole press and crew. come on people have a little care in you
THANK YOU MR POLIT
I AM GLAD YOU LANDED SAFE
===========================
GOD BLESS YOU AND ALL ON BOARD AND GOD BLESS AMERICA

CNN PLEASPOST THIS

First, to you nitwits that question if this is news. When you are a presidential candidate, and have press corps traveling with you everywhere you go. EVERYTHING IS NEWS!!!! If they left things out while reporting, you guys would be complaining about that also.

Second, to thouse who think the move to Denver Stadium was about ego. That is not entirely Obama decision. I would imagine that their is a overwhelming amount of request to witness the event so the venue was changed. This happens with many events (concerts add more dates because of demand) this is only a one-time event and the desire to accomodate is critical.

I'm glad some of these bloggers are not running for any kind of office.

You think with all the money they have they would invest in a crew to preform routine maintenance checks, oh well. glad no one was hurt, otherwise everyone would say it was the Clinton and Bush families plotting against Obama.

God bless you mr. Obama.may god continue to bless you.your family and your full staff.we are praying for you that god will keep you safe proctecting you watching over you ,keeping you from all hurt,harm and danger.God knows how badly this country needs you as the next president of this country

Gosh K you hit it on the nail. The ONN network at work. He probably talking to Scarlett, but didn't she get thrown under the bus.

Just a small technical problem. No sign of immediate danger. Everyone go back to not worrying. The Senator and crew will be fine!

Obama 08!

Obama, You need to go back to Chicago. You have no experience. You need to grow up.

Hillary and Barack are now riding the same plane, in spirit. Enough with the Hillary jokes. But all readers should know that these spiteful e-mails ridiculing Hillary are coming from bitter Republicans (who cling to hatred, vitriol, rumor-mongering, and all other nasty approaches to politics). It's time for CHANGE WE CAN BELIEVE IN. God knows we need change after 8 years of Bush. And McCain is simply McSame. No change there. At least not POSITIVE change.

Sorry all you GOPers, your time is nearing its end. You've done enough damage. Please leave your pettiness for your own national convention, where you can all cry over your impending defeat. Oh, and that Swift Boating thing you did against genuine war hero John Kerry... it won't work this time. Everyone's wise to such phoniness.

The best thing about this article is that the writer spelled HIS OWN NAME incorrectly. Unless (this seems rather unlikely) his name is actually "Alexadner."

Obama was denied entrance to Charlotte, NC. Thank you, our Heavenly Father.

thank God you can ride fly againTHIS TIME TO THE OVAL OFFICE without a hitch. we love you mr.

Glad that he wasnt hurt although he still doesnt have me vote yeat. Yeah here we go the obama supporters saying Hillary had something to do with it. I hope hillary doesnt ride in that thing with him. Its funny how obama supporters call hillary supporters crazy when we have his supporters going around and legally changing their middle name to obama's thats kind of out there.

you can stay put MR. KING!

The New Age Klan July 7th, 2008 10:25 am ET

Minorities’ and women should never hold a position of authority over a white man, these are not just my beliefs but the principles this nation was founded on. This is the way God intended it to be, that is why this is in the fix that it is now in.

McCain is the only candidate that can begin to restore order to this great nation of ours.
————————————————————————————————
HEY, Alexander and Richard, why would CNN let nonsensical crap like this get posted, but when I try to post something simple and clean the crew won't post it? What is the problem CNN?

Typical White Person:
Why would Hillary Clinton have anything to do with this? It sounds like technical problem with the aircraft. It sounds like you are waiting with baited breath for such a post, so you can write up something clever. Bloody well done and good for you! Imbecile.

Mike...you're STILL trashing Hillary?

I HOPE MCCAIN BLOWS OBAMA AWAY.

Texas Trail Dog July 7th, 2008 11:43 am ET

If you Obama SUPPORTERS keep making negative attacks on hillary you will push my off the fence.

-------------------

Like you've ever been on the fence. Whatever. I've seen all your stupid, racist comments.

Hope all of u get obama like u want. 3 months after elected tax rate goes back up. Look for same with higher taxes for more pet projects and for us to support people who could work but want. gimme , gimme. Social security changed by clintons. Hope they change it again and u suckers work til you are 90. Obama is not the answer or the prejeduce clintons. Hope u can vote 2 times. Heard any of them on immigration issues. Hell no, what about social security. Lets sell this country to France or Russia. I'm sick of paying for democrats partying, lies, and letting other countries screw us. Clintons should have dealt with what Bush had to do. Same old mess. Look at Virginia, wanting to raise gas taxex 6 percent. We don't count.

One can only hope...

USAF Staff Sergeant July 7th, 2008 11:26 am ET

Somehow, the Haters and Republicans will find a way to criticize Obama.

"This shows a lack of leadership, McCain would have taken control of the plane and landed it safely."

...

------------------------

USAF Staff Sergeant, this made my day. Some people here on this Ticker really are unreasonable to say things like that.

You know there are some real sore heads on here making stupid comments. You people are idiots. Thank god the plane landed safely. If you have something negative to say, STUFF IT!!!!!!!!!!

Wow, some of the comments here really make me wonder what has happened to our country. What ever happened to the notion that we're all Americans and wish the best for each other. It's really, really sad what some folks post.

He could have just started a speech and kept the plane aloft with all the hot air....heaven knows he's full of it..

Craig

Mr. President Obama, I am so glad everything turned out okay. All of your supporters wish you and your family safe landings.

Be well and blessed.

On the previous article – What a nation of cynics we have become? Here is an amazing historical event about to take place in Denver (where I live, btw, and hope to attend), and people are talking egos and hate-filled comments. Don't you get it? You are witnessing something that will go down in the history books as an unprecedented event? Think before you write, people!! You can bet there will be people camped overnight, because they understand the significance of this moment in time!

I hope this never happens again and that sen.Obama will always be safe.I would say the same thing if it happened to sen. McCain

Obama 08'....!!!

Who cares................Maybe next time the voters will get more lucky. I guess Rev. Wright or OJ Simpson helped out............

watch your back sen obama thank god you and your campaign and everyone on board is alright your in my prayers sen obama jut please start being real careful the election is getting close!!!!

I appreciate CNN for letting us know when Obama gives a high five, ties his shoes, is thinking about speaking somehwere, blaming the media for his own mistakes, makes fun of Republicans, gets on a plane, eats, and sleeps.

McCain should be thankful they spell his name right.

Couldn't Obama just use his messiah-like power to teleport to his destination? Or maybe just float the jet on all the hot air he generates?

He probably just changed his mind during the trip. Keith Olbermann and his other acolytes call it him "refining his positions", EVERYONE ELSE it would be called what they are, LIES. Changine ones mind over a period of years is ok, but from the primary to the general is the Obama way and he with the media swooning over him, gets away with it. Hillary was so right about this loser.

OK – for the stupid voter from Omaha – No one has to investigate where Obama's campaign financing comes from. It's the law that all contributions have to be public. If you could stop with the rumor mongering, and go do your research, you would find that the majority of money comes from small contributors like me. Please get edu-macated before vote, for God's sake!!!

I thank God for Mr. President to be. The country need him by Nov. God keep him for us for we need him for a CHANGE.

I'm glad everybody is OK.

Will some of you please stop with these inane comments about Hillary and her supporters wishing for the plane to crash. It's insensitive and not funny!!!!

Obama gives hope to the future and distances our view of the course of our nation from the past worn-out policies of the present. The security of the world rest in the visions of it's youth. Forced democracy or any policy is in itself defeating. People respond to common natural human rights and rise-up together for the challenge. American imperialism is not only self rightous but self serving. McCain's view of America is corporate dominated with world exploitaton of their resources and cultures. I'm not saying that America should be isolated but we should ingage in the bettering of the human condition and the restoration of our planet. Obama has this vision, McCain only sees the possibilities of a failed national and world policy for the elite few. And that does not include the average American or world citizen.

This won't happen when he is flying in air force one

This is news, Obama canceled his event because of this...

VERY SUSPICIOUS!

this can't be news. I am a former pilot and brought down many of aircraft with minor problems and didn't get the press this girlie candidate is getting for a minor issue.

Amazed.

He is such a wiener.

Ok this is not in any way shape ofr form news worthy. THey had a minor techincal issue, the plane landed safely, he';s back up in the air to Charlotte. Just get here Barack!! We need you

OBAMA 08

Typical Obama stunt. Anything for publicity. He did it on purpose.

Yeah I am worried about our economy. I am extremely worried that Bush and the Democrats have gotten us in a jam.

I see the only way out is to elect a man of experience and know how to retrieve us from this mess. And that man is John McCain

He is a warrior and I trust him to protect my values. It seems that the only values that obama has is who he wants to impress that day.

He is the candidate of change. He changes his positions as the wind blows. How can anyone trust him?

TO ALL YOU HATERS...

WISH YOU WOULD WAKE UP "BLACK" AND THEN LIVE AS AN AFRICAN AMERICAN.....MAYBE JUST MAYBE, YOU WOULD DITCH YOUR RACISTS REMAARKS, ONCE YOU'VE WALKED IN A BLACK MAN'S SHOE IN AMERICA!!!!!!!!!!!!

OBAMA 08

"The ego has landed." I don't care who you are, that's funny.

Thank God nothing happened to them.
Roland, please preach to your Cnn friends. They need deliverance.

Thank God everyone is okay.

Obamanation '08

YES WE CAN!

May God Bless you and Protect you Obama. I know Hillary and her wicked supporters are just holding their pathetic breaths. Just remember though, what goes around, comes around.

I am glad that the plane landed safely and hope he made it to his final destination in Charlotte with no further mishaps. Angels are all around you, Barack, I pray for your safety!

Barry Obama don't need no stinkin' plane. He's The Messiah. He can fly without one.

And then there was Paul Wellstone. So what happend to Ron Brown and Paul Wellstone?

God bless the Obama's

Did anybody say 'Hillary was behind this'?

God bless you Mr. President.
Obama/Webb 08

God is looking out for Senator Obama because he knows this country really needs him right now.
Let's all give thanks:
Dear Lord, thank you for protecting and watching over Senator Obama at this time when our country really needs his help the most.
Amen!

Glad everything turned out ok.

Obama/Hillary 08

WOW, I can't believe some of these comments.
There are certainly many nasty ugly people out there.

Glad Senator Obama is okay and nothing bad happened to him or anyone else on board.

I'd hate to hear the dems whine about how they got beaten in November because their candidate died in a plane crash and they had to phone it in with second best. I sincerely want Obama to make it safely to the election so McCain can trounce him appropriately.

Did his ego get caught in the propeller?

"Obama apparently remained in his seat when the plane landed."

And what was he supposed to have done, pray tell? Thrown the pilot out of the way and landed it himself?

MR PILOT TAKE CARE OF OUR NEXT PRESIDENT......

Guys get a clue! you guess just don't understand Obama, you don't give him credit for being polite but very wise. There is a reason why there will be two different sites, a convention site and nomination-Speech site. Every one is invited but I have this feeling that tickets for this nomination-Speech site will be exhausted on barackobama.com for fans alike from any camp. So anyhow you all will have to visit the Obama family even when you still feel a little sore or not to get your tickets. Oh! did I remind you necons and pumas that you should keep the peace in our website while you transact your business and peacefully go your way.

It's our time, it's our moment and our moment is NOW!

Obama 2008!

The plain issue is only a hiccup for him! Come on now he has 220 + million in campaign funds. This is not going to slow him down much at all.

So what really happend to Ron Brown?

"Obama apparently remained in his seat when the plane landed."

Goodness. What were you expecting? For him to fly it on in for a safe landing using those dumbo ears of his?

What an unexpected opportunity! Perhaps he will have some extra time to speak a few words to the people in Saint Louis GO OBAMA!

Obama remained in his seat?

What does that say about this man? He is able to size up a situation by getting the facts, and is not afraid to follow his intellect afterwards.

God is with this man and nothing going to stop him from reaching his destiny. The white House!

Obama's '08

Is anyone at all investigating the allegations that a majority of Obama's financial support online is coming from a few credit card accounts in the Middle East such as Iran, Iraq, Saudi Arabia and China?! Has the whole country gone stark-raving mad and made Obama king and god?!

Now to become king, he wants a stadium so he can make a statement... he made one for me... 143 days as a senator and he is qualified for the presidency?! Give me a break!! The democrats have gone FANATICAL!!! And I am a DEMOCRAT!! NOT ANY MORE!!!!

I also think our 'press' is a joke–full of panderers, liars, people who 'create the news' rather than report it, and suppress anything that doesn't go 'their' way.' What a bunch of ya-hoos!

Thank god, the plane landed safely. God Bless Mr. Obama
OBAMA (2008 -16)

Really? Not one of the McCain junkies has yet made a comment along the lines of "OF COURSE OBAMA'S PLANE HAD TO DIVERT BECAUSE OF HIS HUMONGOUS EGO" ? Guess some things are a stretch even for y'all, huh?

Its ts amazing how Obama always has plane issues. Can this man get one of the gazillion advisers to loan him a proper aircraft, Say one of the multi bilionaires can let him borrow a Gulf stream or even a JET BLUE plane. He looks like he has a southwest airplane.
Give me a break. Are these people that clueless? Should safety be first? An MD 80? what a joke...

Well, at least everyone's ok.

Say, I have an idea. When BO is crowned in the football stadium we could have gigantic American flags everywhere- I mean huge flags. The military could all wear uniforms and march in 20 or 30 abreast. We could bring in some heavy military equipment, say tanks.

Then all the 75,000 people could salute the flag and yell out Hale Obama! Then he could begin speaking and his voice would echo everywhere for miles around...

America, if this doesn't worry you, you aren't paying attention!

let's see....some of you boneheaded dems will start calling this an evil republican plot in: 3.........2.........1...............

Staying cool under pressure? I like it.

--------------------------------

Hey backwoods retard, Obama's half WHITE too; kinda knocks your redneck comment out of alignment now doesn't it; see if your inbred brain can extrapolate what I just said and determine if you can come up with a new racist, sexist rant, REPUGNICAN SCUMBAG.

Please do not do that.........

Cnn you closed the Stadium speech comments early .
Why isn't the Convention at the Stadium let the people be able to attend this instead of a choice few .
DNC its time to move for more seating Obama can pack them in he is our next President and you have never before witnessed such a great movement behind him all the way to the White house.
McBush you can return to Arizona you are not goin anywhere unless its back to Arizona and they don't want you there either.

Hey Obama,

You better be careful man and go get yourself a new jet! Don't ever ride in that thing again. Don't do it! Just tell us to donate and we'll do the rest. Isn't that our MO? We are the greatest lobbying force ever in America and that is why we deserve to witness the nomination so kudos for the larger venue. We want to be represented in all facets of the political process and the governing. That is why we bought this campaign with one voice and with our hard-earned money even when we can't afford it. And who are these dreamers that think we will pay for them to come to our convention to protest an election that was based on previous processes should WAKE UP.

They "Clintonians" will have their due allocation of slots at the DNC Party site convention but as per our nomination speech at the stadium, You must really be a loser and a dreamer to think we will pay for you and not allow other supporters of Obama to see him.

Oh boy! What did he do while he remained his seat? Read a book, talk, play cards, look in the mirror at himself? Did he eat before, during or after the plane trip? Did he sneak a smoke or is he still pretending to have quite? What was he wearing? Was he wearing a tie? How about a lapel pin? Did he go to the bathroom at all? Did he "fist-bump" anyone? Please, please, please, I have to know about every minute of your hero's day!

Well, every minute of every day except when he talks about his policies...crickets....

Glad his plane got down safely....

However, what will happen if the US and Iraq come to an agreement to withdraw forces? Right now that is where Iraq is leaning...a timetable for withdrawal.

So that leaves the unspoken war....Obama can tout ending the war in Iraq all he wants, but there is still the war in Afghanistan, that the US is currently losing.

How will Obama explain away his neglect of his Senate subcommittee....you know, the one that oversees the war in Afghanistan....you know, the one he chose NOT to hold one meeting on in now over 2 years. Change is making a difference....hope is taking action to make change....Senator Obama did neither. Are you so wrapped up in his speeches that you don't see he is doing nothing? He is very reminiscent of George W. Bush.

No Drama Obama who didn't get out of his seat after the plane landed. Calm and cool unlike the hot tempered McCain who looks like he is going to explode all too often. McCain needs some meds to calm himself down, he has some emotional issues.

Thank God you guys landed safely. We pray you guys will always be safe.

OBAMA 08

I am praying for you senator. I am here in St.Louis

"Obama apparently remained in his seat when the plane landed." WHAT? Of course he stayed in his seat, what has he supposed to do? Fly the god-forsaken plane himself? This isn't Airport '76 guys, but thank you for the reporting none-the-less. Good to know Senator Obama, like anyone else who's ever flown, is smart enough to stay in his seat when landing as opposed to riding on the wing.

I wonder who did he pray to for a safe landing.

Imagine that! He needs a coach and one heck of a contracted security team. I wouldn't trust the Secret Service if I were him as far as I could throw them.

HOOKAY, here we go, watch for the "I wish it had crashed, or been shot down" idiots to start up in here any minute now. Well, he's safe and sound and will STILL go on to be our next president, WOOHOO!!
Just make sure you have your own men and Secret Service handpicked so that sabotage cannot happen if possible.

I bet Hillary and her disgruntled, delusional, sore-loser supporters peed themselves when they first heard the news. Just the big break she's waiting for, but too bad, Obama landed safely, sorry to get your hopes up Mrs. Suspended campaign.

We love you Barack and my god be with you every day....

There are so many Obama haters online. I say good for Obama that he is moving his venue to the stadium. At first we complained that there weren't a lot of people involved in politics. Now we have so many we can fill a stadium and people are still complaining because it's not there candidate. Give me a break.

Kudos to Obama for capturing the country's attention and imagination for bigger and better things.

Obama 08

I suppose the fact that Obama was on his way to North Carolina is more of a story than the fact that his plane had a technical problem between chicago and Charlotte.
Obama must know he's in serious trouble if he's looking to pick up the electoral votes of North Carolina – as well as Virginia and Georgia – in November.
He knows that he's most likely going to lose Pennsylvania and Ohio, that he has no chance at all of winning in West Virginia or Kentucky, and that he's not looking too good in Michigan or Florida, either.
The media can cite all the popular opinion polls that they like. Fact is, Obama's chances of winning the electoral votes he needs in November are not good at all. And nor should they be, seeing how he chose to collect delegates at the caucuses rather than build a coalition within the core constituencies of the Democratic base during the nomination process.
He's a weasel who has no chance of convincing the American people to support him with flowery rhetoric and empty slogans the way he convinced the fanatical left of the Democratic Party's constituents.
Come to think of it, now that he's moving to the center even his strongest fanatical followers will start to see him for the self-centered opportunist that he has always been.

I BET HILLARY WOULD HAVE BEEN HAPPY IF SOMETHING BAD HAD HAPPENED TO HIM. GOD IS PROTECTING YOU MR PRESIDENT.

you fly like a rocket Obama. obama 08!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank goodness Senator Obama is OK. I'll say an extra prayer for his safety and the safety of his campaign staff.

Obama's plane was forced to make an unscheduled landing.WAiting to see how many IDIOTS......Will have a Negative Response !!!!

Glad to know all was ok. Keeping both candidates in my prayers as they travel the nation.

I am so glad the plane landed OK I pray for Snator Obama's safety always.

Thank God it wasn't anything more serious.

No excitement before the very exciting Democratic National Convention. My heart can't take too much.

Obama 08

I bet PUMA and the rest of bitter Clinton supporters are dissapointed that the technical difficulties were detected.

Sounds like Obama's plane landed with help from the "wings of an angel". Obama is simply the best.

Since the posts to the article on the "stadium event" were closed after half an hour!...I just wanted to say...a nice CHANGE that Barack Hussein Obama could pull off at the convention is this. How about a DEMOCRATIC Democratic convention. The big "Unity Love-Fest" would ring a little less hollow if 1/2 of the voters were represented. How about actually putting Hillary Clinton's name into nomination and then following it with a role-call vote?

Afraid?...of what? Superdelegates realizing that BO is the wrong choice? Or...maybe Hillary's name would be placed into nomination for VP? So many possibilities if you "play by the rules" which is what the DNC has STATED it has been doing all along.

Give me a break! P.U.M.A. This life-long Democrat is fed-UP!

Prayer for all invovled-

I do smell a rat though-

Whew!!! I'm glad that everything was ok. Praise the LORD!!!

Thank goodness that the plane landed safely! I wish Obama safety
and wellness even though I won't EVER vote for him.

In any regard, do his supporters realize that Obama did NOT, I repeat, did NOT, vote against the war.

Obama was not a US Senator at the time of the vote.

Obama only gave a little speech in his Chicago district. And when asked directly how he WOULD have voted, he said he DIDN'T KNOW!

Hope it's not the repuglicans pulling anything funny. It is certainly not beneath them.

Is CNN going to give us up to the minute bulletins on Obama's bowel movements?

I think we need to know.

Remember Wellstone!

Don't leave anything to chance...or to the powers-that-be.

AM REALLY GLAD HE IS ALRIGHT. WHAT A GOOD PILOT.

Glad that he and all others on the plane are safe!!!!

If you Obama SUPPORTERS keep making negative attacks on hillary you will push my off the fence.

Even Obamas plane is flip flopping!

I am glad Obama and all aboard the plane are well and safe. God bless.

Senator Obama, don't put it off any longer. Name Hillary as your VP. If you want to raise your president candidates poll by 20% do it today. There are a lot of us Hillary supporters that are sitting on the fence waiting for your decision. The only right decision you can make that will benefit, YOU, HILLARY AND THIS NATION, IS NAMING HER AS YOUR VP. The two of you will make a formidable pair that no other Republican candidates could touch. DON'T WAIT! SO THE DEMOCRAT PARTY CAN FINALLY COME TOGETHER. I'm afraid if you wait until the convention or right before you will lose a lot of votes. Then it will be touch and go as to your winning the White House. WITH HILLARY, YES YOU CAN.

Hey, hey, hey...take good care of our next president.
Do the maintenance right and do it right now!

Remember it was a Republican that fired all the air traffic controlers, not a Democrat! Keep focuised on whose gonna clean up this Republican mess.

I Hope You Still Get To Deliver Your Preach Today!

It appears that the Obama campaign is having technical problems.
I predict an impending crash and burn.

I'm glad that they were able to land without any problems.

For the good of the USA inparticularand of the entire world in general, the Almighty God spared his life. Hope it was not an attempt to his life! AbN71

Glad to hear everyone is ok.

Stay Safe! We Need You Obama! We Dont Need Another Leader With Poor Judgement Like Mccain!

Quite symbolic after this weekends technical difficulties on Obama flip flops..

You mean the ego has landed?

"No more politics as usual" is that not what he promised?

Look at the amount of money being spent for his "Party".

Only 53 comments allowed in the "Obama gives speech in stadium" story and they close the comments when there are too many anti-Obama postings. I'm sure they will leave this non-story about the plane open for 300 postings....as long as most of the postings are pro-Obama.

Stay Safe! We Need You Obama! We Foot Need Another Leader With Poor Judgement Like Mccain!

Where else would one be but in their seat when the plane landed?

Alright now, get it together. I don't expect this will happen again?! I'm not playing!

OBAMA / SEBELIUS 08!

DONT LET ANYTHING HAPPEN TO YOU BEFORE YOU GET TO BE PRESIDENT. WE LOVE YOU AND STAY SAFE.

Hope he's okay; we don't want anything to happen to Future President Obama!

I'm so glad that he and his staff are safe.

It's got to be some sort of warmonging republican conspiracy. Check the ground crew for right wing crazies.

Come on CNN. Is this really worthy of discussion on the ticker. It's obvious your stirring the pot. Give us newswothy unbiased topics to discuss. And while your at it wake up the moderator please.

BTW, I must know what kind of pop tart BO had today. I may not be able to make the rest of the day if I don't get this valuable information!!

Good thing he'll be getting Air Force One in a few months

Obama 08
Obama 08

Oh no, the GOP has really gotten desperate.Obama be careful.

What! Obama couldn't heal the plane. I bet the campaign called ahead and had the field filled with adoring fans to witness the landing. Who cares

Thank you GOD for not letting anything happen to
My Senator O.

Obama apparently remained in his seat when the plane landed. Where else did you expect him to go???? This is news?

why is there room for comments, is this news. CNN is ridiculous

very glad president obama is safe.i hope he hasn't got any republicans on his flight team.

Meanwhile, at CNN HQ, quotation marks run rampant...

Somehow, the Haters and Republicans will find a way to criticize Obama.

"This shows a lack of leadership, McCain would have taken control of the plane and landed it safely."

Although, if it was anything like his past flights, he would crash into power lines AGAIN. Seriously, he once crashed into power lines. Non combat.

Can I be the first to say 'Honestly, is this really new, CNN'.

On the matter Obama's landing? There are two parties involved. The Pilot and the Air Traffic Controller. I am and was both. The critical job of the Air Traffic Controller is to "Insure the safe, orderly and expiditious flow of air traffic.
The Pilot has the greatest risk as he and his charge are not on the ground therefore "The Pilot is the final Authority in the operation of his aircraft".
Sounds like the Pilot took the proper cautionary measures.
Thanks for giving me this opportunity to respond.
Dennis

WHO CARES????

I support Obama but CNN this doesn't need a whole post. What next his daily bathroom visits?

OBAMA 08!!!

Scary thought, hopefully Obama and gang are ok.

God, please keep Senator Obama and his family safe and secure from all hurt, harm and danger. Amen.

The Clintons at work

I'm sure the Repugnants are sorry the plane landed safely. May GOD bless and keep Sen. Obama, his family and staff....the country needs them!

So, this is ALMOST news. Had the plane crashed, that would be news-worthy. This is just crap.

WHO CARES.

I am glad nothing happened to Senator Obama.

I'm positive some nutjob is going to post something along the lines of "I was hoping he'd crash and burn" or some such nonsense.

Seriously, CNN, with the kind of people you usually see posting on your ticker, I wouldn't be surprised.

And here come the conspiracy theories that will blame the Clintons for this somehow...

Someone forgot to CHANGE the oil...
