Walter,
You are not watching the big picture here. Imagine if a race of aliens from a distant planet come to destroy the Earth, and there are lots of planes that can save us but lack of pilots, then a President that can fly and land at night in a carrier can be very handy. Oh, wait, also a computer programmer that can write a virus to infect the alien's computers overnight is also very handy! Can Obama do that??
