Affirmative Action Lands in the Air Traffic Control Tower

提交時間:
 
When a plane starts its final descent, are the passengers more concerned about the competence or about the skin color of the air-traffic controllers on the ground who will help the pilot land safely? The answer may be obvious to readers, if not to the Obama administration.

OK - I'll give this more serious consideration when I see a report from a non-network source. Fox, CNN, MSNBC, they all peddle their own agenda. Cite me an aviation source, then I might believe it.

You don't have to do anything Matt. Wait for huff and puff or one of the leftist ,liberal networks reports on a crash coming soon to an airport near you. That will be a hell of a price to pay for unqualified blacks and women hired to please Obama. He is the worst thing that ever happened to this great nation. Socialism, aka communism at it's best.

That useless bastard in the white house is hell bent on ruining this country and no one can stop him. Now he is going to be responsible for some idiot ATC sending a few planes in each others way crashing because the only criteria for getting hired was affirmative action.
