Obama's Plane: Unscheduled Landing Due to Controllability Issues. Metaphor of Things to Come?

UPDATE: Steve Forbes thinks Obama's tax increase idea would devastate the economy, upping taxes on those who make as little as $32,000 per year. Listen and learn more than you'll ever want to know.

I often think that life gives us lots of metaphors and messages, if only we're willing to stop, look and listen. Today's news that messiah Obama's plane had to make an unscheduled landing in St. Louis for controlabillity issues seems to me to be one of those glaring metaphors.

With almost no experience in either government or business at the ripe old age of 46, do we really think Obama won't be in over his head with controllability issues if he's elected president?
That's a rhetorical question of course on my part.

Tax savings if you make:
$38-$66,000 a year
McCain will save you -$319
Obama will save you -$1042

Tax savings if you make:
$66-$112,000 a year
McCain will save you -$1009

CNN? Get a second opinion!

Of course the real issue is not how much of our own money the president claims he will give back to us, but rather which candidate will take the least from us in the first place while cutting excessive spending and allowing the job and wealth creators to work their capitalist magic in the private sector.

We act as if we're electing a baby sitter.

Flight 77 was hijacked and flown into the Pentagon. Date: September 11, 2001. During her suspended campaign, Senator Hillary Clinton is redoubling her efforts, removing obstacles, and paving the way for her comeback. When Senator Obama was forced to land due to a “controllability issue,” KSDK-TV in St. Louis reported, “The same plane was used by Hillary Clinton during the primaries, but after Obama clinched the nomination, he began using it.” During Mr. Obama’s unscheduled layover, oil soaked fabric bearing the monogram HRC was found packed into the tail section’s hydraulics; but authorities say remnants of the signature green scarf may have been from a previous repair. Besides, millions of people have the same initials. To borrow a phrase from Bill Clinton, “It ought to make the bells go off in your head:” http://theseedsof9-11.com
