George bush landing at prestwick for the G8 summit

Oh pulease, don't trot out that simplistic recap of the last 50 years of world history. I obviously have nothing against Americans otherwise I wouldn't be living in the US (I wonder if that'll get me the "go home" rant?)

You clearly didn't notice the little ;) next to my subject line. A joke based on someone else's joke.
 
The world is full of funny little ironies. I just wish more people would see them and chuckle to themelves. It would make this planet a far nicer place.

I also noticed the official cars to ferry some leaders from the airport to Gleneagles were Range Rovers. I think they might just get 10mpg.
 
Great shots! I would love to be able to take some shots like that. Simply awesome. Was the place you too the shot from open to the public or was it from inside the place?

Getting close was easy during the campaign. The SS searched all bags and looked through lenses, but they let you carry your gear inside the venue where W was going to be speaking.





I had a close one of AF1 flying over the stadium, but I already deleted it from my page.

I'm wondering the same thing. I can't think of many places in the
U.S. where you could get that close (even with a tele) to
photograph AF1 on approach.

Unless you work at Andrews Air Force Base of course.

I tried to get in to see the President (and I'm not bashing here) but was asked to sign a statement which amounted to a loyalty oath. I found that offensive and declined. I would really like to see AF1 someday. Quite a bit of majesty there, no matter one's politics.

any Idea as to why, you have no clue how to stop it.
No, I don't know how to stop it. We can always turn tail and run. Worked before. Of course, a bloodbath and pitiful refugees in boats trying to get out rather than be murdered followed. In the instant case, if we cut and run, the most likely scenario will be a bloody civil war.
In the meantime many good americans die for what, GW's greed.
What about our own personal greed? Yours and mine?

I don't see things that simplisticly and wasn't enthusiastic about going in there the first time, let alone the second, do support our troops, but the other party backed him until it became politically expedient to turn on him. GW is so greedy he likes to camp out in a home on the range that is more modest than all the new homes being built in the burbs Gotta keep the economy pumped up. Most new homes, incidentally, have huge square footage and are going to cost an awful lot to heat and/or air condition. That is going to require more energy. There are currently bargains to be had in suv's though because some people are beginning to feel the bite.

No matter which side of the political fence you happen to sit on, it's not the poiticians who are going to have to make sacrifices unless someone does something to them. It wasn't politicians jumping to their deaths rather than being burned to a crisp. They all live high on the hog and if the whole country goes down the tubes, they will have a place to run and hide.

It seems we might have picked the wrong country though.

I'm sick of the Haliburton argument, too. The last man at the helm gave them a contract to rebuild in the Balkans when we went in there. There was no moaning and wailing by the liberal media or most conservatives about that. I had trepidations about that, too. The Serbs have paid dearly, and it's their churches that are being burned and being used as latrines now while UN troops do little or nothing to stop it. The score is at least 100 to 1, churches to mosques.

I can understand both sides of the arguments.

Sooner or later we were going to have to deal with it. We have built a society where people have to have cars to drive 50 and more miles to work and play and think nothing of it.
 
this guy knowingly dumps the bait and you guys are like flies to the poop. Thanks for the thread you CREEP. You have not replied since.
 
Glenn! Dude! Look at his profile. He is in the UK. He probably fired this off right before he left work and is just now hitting the snooze button for the first time. It's really sad your so blinded by your bitterness.

True about him going to bed, I have just been reading these forums know where this was going the instant I saw the title. Did he mention the camera or lens, give any details. Did you think that the talk here would be about the photography?

Sure, there are a lot of ppl that are very passionate about what they believe. The direction this thread took is not a big surprise.
Did he
mention the camera or lens, give any details.
Naaa, just a cool picture. One not many ppl ever get a chance to take, especially in the UK. I certenly don't assign any intent to him posting the picture here...other than to share a cool picture. The novelty alone is enough for him to 1) take the pic, and 2)post it here. I probably would have done the same. I've seen AF2 in Jackson Hole Wyoming several times and it's pretty cool knowing the 2nd most powerfull person in the world is on it...no matter what your political affiliation.
Did you think that
the talk here would be about the photography?
Nope, just looking for a cool picture...found it:)

Glad your at least good natured about it:) Have a good night.

It is really hard to walk in heels like that on grass. You sink right in unless you mostly walk on your toes. It is easy for me because I did ballet for so long and walking in heels is nothing in comparison to going up en pointe, but I am still impressed when I see other people do it. =)

Nice pictures.

I love how stupid people turn a innocent thread in to. Well it seems to happen mostly on dpreview..
