But I am more than PO’d if this is a publicity photo for Obama. How effing stupid or arrogant can you get not to put something out ahead of time?

At least in the sense that he did it intentionally to be insensitive. He can’t help but be insensitive because he thinks he is the only person who should matter. His narcissism leaves little room for anything else.

that Obama lives in a September 10th world.

When I heard the first report on Fox this morning, my blood frooze, too. And I’m more than 1,000 miles from New York,

What really bothers me is that with this administration in “charge”, I know it’s just a matter of time…

that landed on the Statue of Liberty, just before 9-11. And oh how every one thought it was such a hoot. and the Press covered it as a big joke showiing the out-of-shape police officer climbing over the rail to get at the perpatrator. He had landed on the top of the S of L and the police wre arresting him for trespass,irrc.
Ithought uh oh, if this is all the seriousness that NYC takes on the Harbor and the Port, we are in a heap of trouble. Of course Airliners coming dn low into buildings, who’d a thought of that. But still the cavilier attitude is worrisome then and now.
The Donks think there is no terrorism or terrorists and it is all a GWB/GOP phony story for grabbing power. they are silly and sunserious to lead and a danger to us all.

This was ignorant dumb.

I’m not so sure.

Methinks Obama wanted to extinguish the torch of Liberty, but he missed.

Iowahawk had it right:

Carbonator-In-Chief

Absolutely nothing!

Absolutely nothing!

…Tea Party protest sign at it. According to DHS Sec’y “Blame Canada” Napolitano, such a person is every bit the person of interest that a jihadi with a Strela along the flight path is.

give absolutely ZERO thought about consequence…. the entire Obama “propaganda first” mindset!

Maybe Obama should do an unannounced fly-over of the Pentagon next and see what happens.

Not to mention that, once again, he’s spending OUR money on total crap.

But a fly-by of lower Manhattan? Is he totally oblivious, or just insufferably arrogant?

Methinks all of the above.

while heavies were stacking up to land like cord wood. Now this: several thousand gallons of jet fuel for a photo shoot that could have been accomplished with photo shop.

I thought this group was computer savvy.

Who cares. Really. Has anyone else hear the saying “pick your battles?” There are so many important things to fight the incompetent President on, but this constant nitpicking and moral outrage at every tiny little thing is getting annoying and counterproductive.

This is what the Kooks at DailyKook did for 8 years. I would like to think people here are more mature than those mental midgets.

As a favorite radio host of mine says, “People hold the Republicans to a higher standard because of their views, they are expected to behave as the adults, and the Democrats cry and complain and throw tantrums and are expected to act like children.”

Focus on the big picture.

This is small, petty, potatoes.

Deficits, taxes, war on terror, American safety, etc. are where criticism and critical review of proposed policies should be directed.

What would Obama have done if people had been injured in evacuating those buildings? Waited to see what excuse his teleprompter gave? He wouldn’t care because he is above the “little people”

“…. The good news is it was nothing more than an ill considered, badly conceived, insensitive photo op – with the taxpayers’ money.”

…under Readers: Did you see the low-flying jet…

My personal favorite:

I have a solution, we should create a governmental agency that has the power to oversee all the government agencies to ensure that silly things like this do not occur in the future. We can call it The Department of Homeland Security.

I can’t say I was surprised by the way Charlie Gibson and ABC News frames the story this evening. The mayor of New York and The President Himself were both outraged by the event this morning, you see. Yes, and they actually also included in the SAME story that the White House issued an apology.

The ABC News Summary:
-The White House issued an apology.
-The president was outraged !!1
-It was the Military Office in the White House that approved the stunt.
-The president had leader of said office in for a meeting this afternoon, and boy was it not pleasant to be him!

President Obama of course did not know anything about it. And he sure let the responsible parties have it, too. Now just imagine if this were the Bush 43 White House….

At 4:39 p.m. Monday, the White House issued an apology for the flyover. Louis E. Caldera, director of the White House Military Office, who served in the Clinton administration as secretary of the Army, said in a statement:

“Last week, I approved a mission over New York. I take responsibility for that decision. 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.”

The mission on Monday, officials said, was set up to create an iconic shot of Air Force One, similar to one that was taken in recent years over the Grand Canyon.

What would Obama say about a film crew burning a cross in front of the white house wearing white hoods while doing a movie on the kkk?

geez. community organizer can’t fill HHS and Treasury positions and can’t keep what few people he has in line.

A photoshoot like this would normally be done to produce photos to mark some kind of important anniversary. However, I can’t think of anything coming up….except for the conclusion of Obama’s first 100 days.

That leads on to a second question which is….who authorized this operation? This wasn’t some pilot’s idea. I would think this must have been the initiative of a senior Air Force general, or maybe somebody in the White House. Were any civilians onboard the plane at the time?

My opinion is that the White House probably wasn’t involved, but it is important that the right questions are asked.

The White House Military Office are the folks who screwed up the VH-71 Presidential helicopter program by adding so many gizmos to it that it had too much weight to get off the ground.

White House spokesman Robert Gibbs appeared taken aback as reporters peppered him with questions about the incident.

“I have no information beyond what I saw” on news reports, Gibbs said at his afternoon presser.

What was the carbon footprint of that stunt ?

See that you leftards ? We can play the game as well !

Serious time………….

Trust me on this….. There is no way, not a chance in Hades, that this fly-by/photo-op wasn’t kicked all the way up through The Oval Office, to at worst, C.O.S. Emanuel.

How ANYONE in NY City could let this go without fully alerting every media outlet, business and resident is absolutely abhorrent.

Every single person who knew about this and said nothing should be arrested for inciting a panic.

——————

I took the day off. Golf in the morning on what was going to be a beautiful day. Then all the cell phones stated to ring at once.

Some people on the course grabbed their clubs and ran to their cars, and while on the run pinned their badges on, sidearms removed from their golf bags and instantly holstered to their waistbands, fully exposed. I heard that many of those remaining on the course simply stood and cried for awhile, then made their way home.

I was in NY at the time and went to “a few” funerals because of 9/11.

——————

Remember one thing…… The Left — the real Left — like our current president, his entire administration and the media don’t do ANYTHING without a plan (and each plan has layers of interwoven contingencies).

Isn’t this Administration interesting.

A whole lot of New Yorkers are pretty peeved about this stunt.

When they express their opinion, the Mobeys that scrounge every online mention of Obama are attacking them. I think this will be one event were quite a few people start to see behind the curtain. Here you have a bunch of people who are otherwise are sympathetic to the one, but are attacked for daring to express criticism.
