What's this, * is now riding in steerage?

Note, in this file photo, the "normal" exit is higher and to the left of the POUS seal. The "steerage" exit is clearly visible, to the right and below the seal.

5. That's certainly not the standard exit..

look...

Nothing wrong with the angle there. He's coming out of the level I assume the luggage is usually kept in a 747. In fact if you look carefully you can see that lower door in the image.

What airport is he at that they couldn't wheel out the stairs seen in the image above?

Or are the making a quick pit stop at the side of the road so he can take a leak?

:)

11. Andrews AFB
Here's the caption: "President Bush walks down the stairs of Air Force One during his arrival at Andrews Air Force Base, Friday, July 15, 2005 in Washington. Bush was returning from North Carolina to promote Central American Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA). (AP Photo/Pablo Martinez Monsivais)"

I editied/added the caption a few minutes after the initial post.

7. Look again.
Carefully.

No weird angle involved.

3. He sure is focused on that next step.
That's what happens when the doc puts you on mother's little helpers.

6. He's still a little dizzy from the latest spill he took on his bike...
...so they're having him walk out the exit with the fewer steps.

That's nothing, though! You should see when he's had a few of those little shot-sized plastic bottles of booze they give out on airplanes--they have to open the emergency exit and push him down the slide.

10. You know, you're onto something!
I "challange" anyone to find an older pic of * coming out the cargo deck opening.....and let's watch for more pics in the future.

12. Yes! Trying to avoid a Jerry Ford moment....


Poor guy... this is pretty much what I remember about his entire presidency. If Bunnypants took a public spill like this -- and we know he's susceptible to spills -- the last few points of his approval rating would wither away...

14. Love your bumper sticker, what a dream team!
But the Dems would somehow manage to fuck it up and your ticket would get elected!

15. When is * next domestic trip?
Probably his August vacation to Crawford?

Local DU'ers needed to watch the landing to see if he walks the high passenger cabin stairs, the low cargo bay stairs, or is carried out on a stretcher, comotose!
