Now that’s what I call being petty…
When President Obama spoke to troops at Alaska’s Elmendorf Air Force Base last month,the unit there parked a shiny new F-22 fighter plane in the hanger. But according to multiple sources,White House aides demanded the plane be changed to an older F-15 fighter because they didn’t want Obama speaking in front of the F-22,a controversial program he fought hard to end.
"White House aides actually made them remove the F-22-said they would not allow POTUS to be pictured with the F-22 in any way,shape,or form,"one source close to the unit relayed.
Stephen Lee,a public affairs officer at Elmendorf,confirmed to The Cable that the F-22 was parked in the hanger and then was replaced by an F-15 at the White House’s behest.
The airmen there took offense to the Obama aides’demand,sources told The Cable,seeing it as a slight to the folks who are operating the F-22 proudly every day. They also expressed bewilderment that the White House staff would even care so much as to make an issue out of the fact that the F-22 was placed in the hanger with the president.
so typical…would you expect anything less?
There is no way they can make Obama the delusional,inept moron look good. Waste of time and energy.
