I wonder if there was a miss match of data ( caused by weather / wind ) that contributed to the crash. GPS saying one thing / compass / Altimeter saying another. " I'm sorry, Dave. I'm afraid I can't do that."

Can't say about Obama, I was referencing the quote from the linked article (and other articles):
Quote:
"In the final minutes, the plane climbed at a speed which was beyond normal," Transport Minister Ignasius Jonan told reporters..."
..."I think it is rare even for a fighter jet to be able to climb 6,000 feet per minute," he said. "For a commercial flight, climbing around 1,000 to 2,000 (feet) is maybe already considered extraordinary, because it is not meant to climb that fast."

And then comparing climb rates amongst Indonesia's standard fighters, SU-30, SU-27, and F-16. You'd think the very basics of public speaking would cover things like not quoting hard numbers unless you were absolutely sure of them, but alas, it seems not, as all sorts of spokespeople seem to put their foot in their mouth all too often.
