'just plane dumb'
Make that 100 days, 102 mistakes.
How insensitive, selfish and stupid is the Obama administration? Flying a mock Air Force One around the Statue of Liberty and then directly across lower Manhattan as a photo op stunt?
Thousands of people were evacuated out of their buildings as a result of this 'photo op.' Or, as an 'annoyed' Mayor Mike Bloomberg correctly said, "It was an ill considered, badly conceived, insensitive photo op - with the taxpayers' money."
From the NY Daily News:
I don't remember President Bush ever doing anything like this. Of course, Bush wasn't as fiscally irresponsible as Obama, who wanted photographs taken of the presidential airplane along the backdrop of the Statue of Liberty and New York City to be given out to political donors and supporters. At taxpayer expense. During an economic downturn, the President himself has likened to the Great Depression."The planes appeared on the horizon around 10 a.m. and sent a chill through the city.
"Flying in as low as 1,000 feet to 1,500 feet above New York City, they circled the Statue of Liberty before flying over Manhattan, Staten Island and New Jersey.
"Before they vanished, hundreds of frightened people had jammed emergency phone lines, and thousands of terrified people evacuated from buildings in the city and across the river in New Jersey.
"I was crying and praying to God to forgive me my sins because I thought I was going to get killed," said Kathleen Filandro, who fled from 1New York Plaza when she spotted the planes.
"It's like someone coming up to you, sticking a gun to your head for 15 seconds, walking away and hearing 20 minutes later it was an undercover cop posing for a photo," said Wall Street worker Bill Privett.
"I am still shaking," he said."
'Hope' and 'change,' baby!

Indefensible. Period.
Can you imagine what a ridiculous lie this is?
For Air Force One to fly anywhere an incredible army has to mobilize. There's the FAA. There's the aircrew, the mechanics, the military is involved. Secret Service is involved.
If this was a mere training exercise like they claimed they would have just circled around Andrews Air Force Base in Maryland.
What about the carbon footprint of this expedition? And Obama wants people to think he cares about the environment?
This is what cracks me up about Democrats. They supposedly care so much more than Republicans, yet Obama and his administration allowed tens of thousands of New Yorkers to think they were under another terrorist attack so they could get some glossy pictures of an airplane?
The idea that Obama didn't know anything about this... It's his plane! You think a guy doesn't know where his plane is every moment of the day?
No, nothing adds up here. But, of course, nobody cares because the media won't cover it because they continue to be completely in the tank for BO. Pisses me off.
All of this very much smacked of a Third World country to me. Nobody knew what was going on because everything is so unorganized. Like some kind of banana republic leader lost one of his planes.
Unbelievably absurd. Juvenile. Wasteful. You and I could have done the publicity shots on Photoshop with my Mac.
Do these people not know how to use Photoshop? I can put Air Force One on Titan (Saturn's largest moon) in about fifteen minute, but these clowns can't find someone who can superimpose the jet against a NY harbor backdrop?
Oh wait - you mean these guys are the most competent administration ever in the history of anything? Ok, all forgiven.
