Midwest’s MD-80s – not good enough for you, but good enough for Obama

Barack Obama’s chartered Midwest Airlines’ MD-80, en route from Chicago to Charlotte, North Carolina, made an unscheduled landing in St. Louis after what the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported as the emergency slide in the tail cone of the plane deploying in flight. ABC News’ Sunlen Miller reported an abnormally large dip shortly after takeoff from Midway during bad weather.

I’m glad that everyone’s okay, but I have two questions:

- Why would an eastbound flight from Chicago divert to St. Louis?
- Considering that Midwest is grounding its MD-80s because they’re too fuel-inefficient, why did the Obama campaign decide to charter one?
