Whoever decided to have a low flying a 747 do circuits around NYC, followed by a USAF jet, bringing back frightening memories to thousands of people, should be publicly flogged at the site of the former WTC. All this done so the Messiah could get a good photo-op? Good lord. Now I want to pose a question to all you Obamabot’s who over the previous 8 years decried, maligned and blamed everything under the sun on the “Bushitler regime”. If “the shrub” had done something like this, the losers on the left would be screaming for impeachment and death to the evil Bush. It would register 11 on the outrage meter. Fucking hypocrites, every single one of you. Take a look of the video and tell me this didn’t scare the shiite out of people. What a bunch of insensitive fucktards.
It was supposed to be a photo opportunity, a showcase of Air Force One alongside the sweep of New York City skyline.
But as the low-flying Boeing 747 speeded in the shadows of skyscrapers, trailed by two fighter jets, the sight instead awakened barely dormant fears of a terrorist attack, causing a momentary panic that sent workers pouring out of buildings on both sides of the Hudson River.
“I thought there was some kind of an attack,†said Paul Nadler, who sprinted down more than 20 flights of stairs after watching the plane from his office in Jersey City shortly after 10 a.m. “We ran like hell.†In fact, the blue and white plane with “The United States of America†emblazoned on its side was one of two regularly used by the president. It was soaring above Lower Manhattan, Staten Island and Jersey City so government photographers could take pictures near the Statue of Liberty for publicity purposes.
Causing mass panic to a city that has seen enormous human loss at the hands of Jihadi’s driving planes into lower Manhattan to take pictures for publicity purposes.
As the fright wore off, Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg and other local leaders questioned why the Federal Aviation Administration had ordered local officials, including the New York Police Department, not to alert the public in advance.
An F.A.A. memo last week said information about the exercise “should only be shared with persons with a need to know†and “shall not be released to the public or the media.â€
Now we wouldn’t want to tell anybody because…..I still haven’t figured out why they didn’t tell anybody. Oh, now I know why they didn’t. it’s because…..
It even cited a specific statute.

So they pressured the local government by using the rule of law to prevent the public from knowing what was going on.
Later, aides told reporters that President Obama was furious about the flyover when it was brought to his attention. The White House Chief of Staff, Rahm Emanuel, conveyed the president’s anger in a meeting with the director of the White House Military Office, Louis Caldera, who issued the apology.
“Last week, I approved a mission over New York. I take responsibility for that decision,†Mr. Caldera said. “While federal authorities took the proper steps to notify state and local authorities in New York and New Jersey, it’s clear that the mission created confusion and disruption. I apologize and take responsibility for any distress that flight caused.â€
Paging a Mr. Louis Caldera, Mr. Louis Caldera, please report under the bus of Obama…STAT. Take your position next to Mr. Richardson, Rev. Wright, when you are done spewing vile will you please make some room to your left, lovely dress Ms. Solis but please allow for our new guest, Granny Obama, yes, your guvmint checks will still be coming, Joe “my IQ is higher than yours” Biden, when you finish talking about something you know nothing about, would you please move you and your hairplugs and let in Mr. Caldera.
Oh and I forgot to add something. How much did this fiasco cost us the taxpayers? We are, I am told, in one of the worst economic downturns since the ’30′s so why are we spending money like this on a photo-op? Just another reason not to trust the judgment of the temporary occupant of the WH.
