Sometimes observations like that could LAND people in the DOGhouse

Let's see: John F. Kennedy, Jr. was born on November 25, 1960 and celebrated his third birthday at his father's funeral. So by the age of three, he developed this "attitude" from all that easy living in the White House. Got it.

Jesus dude. Lighten up and push the 'let it go' button. You aren't the Lord's Sword of Justice. That's His business, not yours. You're a just man.

Really hate the Kennedy's dontcha??

I think that maybe you have applied your own bias and now bear false witness.

Other pilots flying similar routes on the night of the accident reported no visual horizon while flying over the water because of haze. The pilot's estimated total flight experience was about 310 hours, of which 55 hours were at night. The pilot's estimated flight time in the accident airplane was about 36 hours, of which about 9.4 hours were at night. About 3 hours of that time was without a certified flight instructor (CFI) on board, and about 0.8 hour of that was flown at night and included a night landing. In the 15 months before the accident, the pilot had flown either to or from the destination area about 35 times. The pilot flew at least 17 of these flight legs without a CFI on board, of which 5 were at night. Within 100 days before the accident, the pilot had completed about 50 percent of a formal instrument training course.

NYC99MA178

Mayhap he was not as experienced as others, but calling the accident the result of arrogance and elitist attitude is just mean spirited. And as evidenced, he was currently enrolled in a formal instrument training course.

But hey, at least their trip was made in secret and it stayed a secret until they started busting up bars and getting a few Secret Service agents beat up. Obama's girls recently went on a spring break vacation and a right wing news source printed just where they were and for how long they would be there.

The Secret Service was not amused and claimed the news source had endangered the lives of the two girls.

But then, when the hate is strong how can a Conservative publication not act on it?

I have every confidence in the right wing controlled media to blow anything and everything out of proportion and, if all else fails, to just make stuff up.

One thing I will bet on is that if their lives are squeaky clean the right wing press will not report on a single thing about them and hope that no one notices how successful they are.

Bush twins were making contacts for Obama's secret service detail, lining up the hookers and all the get down party sites.

Yes Paul, it is common knowledge that a persons "attitude" is pretty well set in stone before the age of six. The Kennedy clan considered themself royalty anyway, and that's the family he grew up in. The Obama girls have grown up in a family with the same attitude and that attitude is being set in stone by extravagant living (at our expense I might add.)

Regardless of where John John got his "my shlt don't stink" attitude, it killed him and two innocent passengers.

Hmmm.... and where is this "right wing press?" I have certainly missed seeing or reading their work. Is this the same "right wing press" that exposed the Bush Twins misbehavior?
