Not Even Chesley Sullenberger Could Have Made The Spruce Goose A Success

by Smitty Chesley Sullenberger is as close to immortal as a pilot can get, after his Hudson River heroics. But even that skill could not have made the Spruce Goose a success. Progressivism is the political equivalent of the Spruce Goose, on a variety of levels. However, BHO is no political Sullenberger, despite the prodigious propaganda […]
