Obama and LaHood Owe Hundreds of Air Passengers $27, 500 Each

-
Roanoke Times, 10-31-11, Pg 3: Air passengers spent 7 hours stranded on plane
Roanoke Times, 11-1-11, Pg 3: Could airlines have responded better?

Yet another Roanoke Times headline and story berating private industry when the real culprit is Government!
So, what happened to this travel process that’s totally controlled by the Federal Government?
-
The Government’s Weather Bureau said it’s OK to fly.
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) said here’s your take-off and landing slots.
Then The Weather Bureau said the weather is now bad and you-all shouldn’t be flying
The FAA directed planes to land at totally non-planned airports
And then the Government run and controlled Airports couldn’t process the planes or their passengers
No docking-terminals available
No ground crews to dock and secure the planes
No security crews to process the incoming passengers or luggage
A total and complete break-down in Government service resulting in numbers of planes sitting out on the tarmac for hours
-
And what’s the headline in the Roanoke Times describing this miserable situation?
“Could airlines have responded better?
Who writes these stupid and misdirected headlines maligning industry and covering-up government malfeasance?
-
Obama and his stooge Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood, enacted draconian penalties in 2009 directed at the airlines for excessive passenger delays. (See the following blog links for details).
-
So now the chickens have come home to roost yet again!
Pay the passengers the $27,500 each of taxpayer money.
They deserve to get it and the taxpayers deserve to pay as a stupidity-penalty for electing Obama.
-
Just more hope and change we can believe in!
