Just announce that all airports will be closed as of July 31st at midnight
if the debt ceiling has not been raised.


Lets see the (R)s try and deal with 48 hours of that without caving.



It isn't like poor people are buying airline tickets anyways. It will screw business travelers pretty badly but they are mostly corporate types and could absorb a day or two of losses.


They think they want to play hardball, but they are kidding themselves.

1. Even better
..just ground all private jets permanently. Make those bastards fly commercial like anyone else, and see how quick the Chertoff porno scanners disappear.

5. Grounding General Aviation would do nothing except piss off private pilots

7. As long as Obama puts that ball squarely in the Republican Court like Bill Clinton did,
that will work.
But if Obama keeps using that "WE" shit,
its a lost cause.



Who will STAND and FIGHT for THIS American Majority?
You will know them by their WORKS,
not by their excuses.
