Excuse me, Mr. President, you may wanna denounce and reject "Bishop" Eddie Long

[KeepItReal]

I was looking up the "Bishop's" (I'm old school Southern Baptist and don't play that) private plane and found this:

Barack Obama spent part of his Presidential campaign been flying around the country in charter jets and borrowed planes – including this Gulfstream jet owned by Atlanta pastor Eddie Long — while Obama was campaigning for the Democratic nomination for president. This photo is courtesy Bob Holland, and was taken as the plane was departing London’s Luton Airport.



The Gulfstream carries the tail number N747NB, and according to the FAA the jet is registered to Long Charter Air, LLC – an Atlanta based firm.

Long Charter Air is located at 6400 Woodrow Rd, Lithonia, Georgia – That’s the same address as New Birth Missionary Baptist Church – a large church headed by Bishop Eddie L. Long with over 25,000 members.

This Gulfstream is a 40 year old jet built by Grumman. It’s powered by a pair of Rolls Royce SPEY MK 511SR turbo fan engines. This jet seats 14 people in a typical corporate seating configuration. If you want to buy a 1968 Gulfstream IIB expect top pay $3 to $4 million."

1. No, he may want to stay as far away from it as he can

and not even acknowledge it.

[impik]

2. Seriously?

[ProSense]

3. Denounce? WTF?

"I was looking up the "Bishop's" (I'm old school Southern Baptist and don't play that) private plane and found this...Just looking out for you Mr. President...."

Yeah, I'm sure.

11. jet activity, N#747NB/N#331P

No, Eddie's jet was used to fly family members. Phoenix Air Group, a large private military ops company, based in Cartersville, GA, flew Coretta and Yolanda back to Georgia for their final resting.
Don't know the connection, but in the past according to blogs, their (Phoenix Air and Long Charter)planes apparently have been tracked to countries and bases that were associated with renditions, when those were frequently being done, past administration.

5. Yeah... because everyone knows...

We all have the power to know the minds and sins of everyone we've ever come in contact with... just keepin' it real... uh huh.
