When does the number of vacations you take put you on the jerk scale? There is telecommuting. How many vacations are too many?

The jerk is getting married. Poor sportsmanship. Let him marry. At least he's not playing around in an oval office and fibbing about it.

Winnigirl · 01-14-2008, 04:07 PM

He married her over the weekend.

Trying to figure out why Jetskier calls him a jerk when he is a friend of the USA and actually spends some money vacationing here.

He came to the US for vacation with his girl friend. The issue is that he made the press by jumping into a press boat when they tried to take his picture. The press was outside the restricted zone and had permission to be there. I just feel that he acted badly as a leader of state and it is a bit unseamly to be vacationing with your girl friend and get upset when someone takes your picture.

In addition, I would wonder how much was spent vs. the cost of having someone like that here in terms of security etc..

If he marries Carla Bruni; model, singer-songwriter, heiress to an Italian tyre mfg. fortune...... (Ms. Bruni has a penchant for being associated with many men. Says "monogamy is boring" and had an affair with the son of the man she lived with...the son was married at the time and the two had a child. Let's see there was Mick Jagger, Eric Clapton, The Donald, Kevin Costner and a former French Prime Minister.etc. etc. etc) I would guess that Mr. Sarkozy will be back next summer licking his wounds and sporting his next new girlfriend. To be continued.....

Worried about the french President. YOu better not vote Romney for President or we will be hassled at Lake Winni year after year with another pompus followed by photographers and news media watching his daily activity. Leave Lake Winni to the simple folks who yearn for peace and privacy free from politics and media.

jrc · 01-20-2008, 11:47 AM

"Wait until Romney becomes President on Lake Winni"

In the abstract this is scary, but I don't think he can beat Hillary. But should everything fall in his favor, can Laconia airport handle Air Force One?

Laconia Municipal Airport does not have sufficient runway length to accomodate a 747.

He'd fly into Manchester, and take a helicopter to the lake.

tis · 01-20-2008, 05:52 PM

He would most likely go to Portsmouth and then fly into Laconia or even helicopter right to his house? The former Pease Air Force Base has a great runway which I believe is still used by the NH National Guard. Bush lands there when he goes to Kennebunkport.

Drummer Girl · 01-20-2008, 06:51 PM

Air force One is any US Air Force aircraft that is carrying the President.

jrc · 01-22-2008, 10:08 AM

Yes Drummer Girl is right, I forgot that detail.

I was talking about one of the two 747's that usually carry the President and his entourage. I'm pretty sure Laconia and Manchester are too small. Pease is plenty big. Is there room to land a helicopter at Mitt's place?

Not yet, but our tax dollars would sure pay for a nice one.

I'd bet the 747 would land at Pease due to it being slower and more secure then Manchvegas, but I believe (and could be completely wrong-o) that a 747 can land there too.

Duh, stupid me. Didn't they design that runway for B52's?!?!

trfour · 01-25-2008, 03:43 PM

can land at Manchester Airport, so can the 747 version of Air Force One.

Here's a related story that I posted here in another thread back on 09-04-2004.

I am a mechanic, by trade, heavy trucks and equipment. I was working on some heavy equipment in Manchester earlier this year at a construction site next to the Manchester Airport with a great view of the runways when a military C5A came in for a landing. My heart started pumping faster as I watched. Then all of a sudden the Sky's were full of helicopter gunships on patrol around the airport. at this point, it's a good thing that I did not have my camera with, as I would have not gotten any work done! Then after a while, here comes Air Force One in for a landing!
Got to see the motorcade running down the runway leaving the airport on a political stop by our President for his two hour visit here.

I am going to tell you, I enjoyed this day, and managed to get my work done, as well!!

The C5A was carrying all of the Secret Service vehicles and support equipment.

the frenchman's wife · 02-13-2008, 07:40 AM

Let's start by saying I'm American and lived in Center Harbor for many years, raising my daughters there until I met my French Prince Charming and here I am in France.

Sarkozy is warm to the US. Charaq wasn't. We need more friends so let this friend come to our country and enjoy it to the fullest. Seriously, Bush's crass attitude towards alies has been losing us friends for quite some time now. We need to repair that! (for the record, I voted for Bush). I still think he's a great guy that needs to learn to play well with others.

For the record, Sarkozy went to Wolfeboro with his WIFE, not his girlfriend. So if you saw anyone it was Celia. They divorced later (October) and it was HER that pursued the divorce. Celia's had a history of extramarital affairs. Sarkozy met Carla for the first time late summer but didn't get involved with her until after him and his wife got divorced.

Have a great day!

i would welcome him back this summer

Winni.com goes international... cool... How do you like France? My brother spent 6 months there and didn't think the "locals" were very friendly to Americans.

That is soooooo cool! I would loved to have seen that, but probably wouldn't have gotten much work done. Good for you for sticking to task!
