Obama campaign plane emergency could have led to disaster
Reporting from Washington -- Airplane control problems last summer could have led to disaster for then-Sen. Barack Obama and his presidential campaign, according to a report released Friday by the National Transportation Safety Board.

An internal investigation of the Secret Service relating to its security sweeps on the aircraft indicated that no personnel or support personnel had interfered with hardware or systems relating to the tail cone evacuation slide.

1. I can only imagine the conspiracy theories that would have arisen had 'disaster' happened.

I'm pretty sure DU would be split 50:40:10 between "Bush did it," "Hillary did it," and "Obama did it."
