3. Now THAT would make a funny SNL skit...

Please empty your pockets Mr. President...the watch too...place the items in the bowl and put it on the conveyor. Please take off your shoes Mr. President and place it in the conveyor. Now please walk through the metal detector hands at your sides.

Can I see your ticket and photo ID Mr. President...

You'll be sitting in First Class - you are allowed only one carry on item and one personal item... I see .. your blackberry?

Tbere will be a two hour layover in Atlanta and you'll have to catch your connecting flight to San Diego. We'll have a rental car waiting for you at Hertz - the shuttle bus will take you out to the rental agency. Please be sure to fill up the tank before you return it.

I can't find the source, but I've heard that Mt. Rushmore can't structurally handle another face.

17. That was my response to an email from one of my dumb friends

I know his plane is meant to be navy colors but my friend didn't so I said his plane isn't even Red, White, and Blue. What is he running for President of Sweeden? Why does John McCain hate America.

[BrklynLiberal]

11. AHA!! So there!!!!! Get over it!!!!

[Cha]

12. republicons really should have

tried to be more discerning with their whine.

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

14. Wouldn't it be wrong for a private plane like Obama's campaign plane to have a US Flag?

It would imply that it's a government plane when it's not.

The new one will be though.

16. "Gimme two pur .... I need two pur...."
