Junior said if you elect him you will be safe. At the same time he is saying he might have to cancel the election their is an attack. Many others say we are less safe from terrorists now than anytime in the past.
If junior can make all of the rest of us safer surely he can make himself safer can't he? Can junior's leadership really make any of us safer? The following might make you wonder.

Wrong pilot held in Bush no-fly violation
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ARLINGTON, Texas -- Police detained a family after airport authorities mistakenly reported their small plane had violated a no-fly zone near President Bush's Crawford ranch. In the confusion, the pilot they were seeking drove away.
Pilot Del Hinton, his wife, daughter and a friend landed at Arlington Municipal Airport about 2 p.m. Saturday after a trip to a casino in Shreveport, La. As soon as Hinton taxied his six-passenger plane into his hangar, an airport employee told him the Secret Service wanted to question him about his illegal flight through Waco.
When Bush is in Crawford, as he was this weekend, airspace is restricted within a 30-mile radius of his ranch.
Hinton's family was detained for an hour.
"I tried to tell them we had come from Shreveport, but they wouldn't listen. I was on the radar the whole time," Hinton told the Fort Worth Star-Telegram for its Sunday editions.
Finally, Hinton telephoned Flight Services to prove his route.
Police eventually learned that the small plane suspected of flying through Waco had landed at the municipal airport about 10 minutes before Hinton.
Police were working to identify that man, who airport employees said was expected to return to the airport Sunday. Sgt. Sharon Warms said the man is not believed to have intentionally violated restricted airspace.
