ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI (CNN) — Barack Obama's plane made an unscheduled landing in St. Louis Monday after the pilot reported technical problems. The plane landed safely.

Obama told reporters after landing it was the first time he had had to land because of mechanical problems.

"Just thought we'd spice things up a little bit today," he joked, adding: "Anytime a pilot says that something's not working the way its supposed to, then you know, you make sure you tighten your seat belt. Everything seemed under control, the pilots knew what they were doing."

Lol, the comments below the report were fun to read. I can't believe that some people were actually suspecting that Hilary may have a hand in it.
anyway sha, had it been that something bad happened from the plane fault, Hilary's campaign may have come alive again.

I read the comments too. People needs to stop making Hillary Clinton to be the Devil.

WTF!!Stuff can happen!!

Thank God he is Okay!! OBAMA 08!!

i think it was one of those random things that just happens.

Of course, Hilary being a woman should take the heat, It goes on and on.
