   Could you imagine if Bush was in office and HE pulled a stunt like this? The left would be calling for impeachment within nano-seconds.

   Unbelievable. And as usual, the MSM is shoving this under the rug.

   Please, what is it the Air Force does that can’t be accomplished by another branch of the service.

   They frag more marines than the other branches combined…

   Maybe the Marines need to be taught to give the enemy’s coordinates when you call in a strike, not your own…..

   In conclusion, it was a dumb move from the whitehouse but the New Yorkers over reacted.

   We overreacted???? Guess you don’t live here. HHHMMM 9/11 and 1 month later plane crashes in Queens and we overreacted!

    I’m not trying to defend anyone, but let’s look at a reason to not make this public ahead of time. The Air Force is not in the habit of posting flight schedules of VC-25s. Public notice of this flight could have alerted a terrorist group of the exact whereabouts of a VC-25. Could you imagine a Al Qaeda sleeper cell in NYC and the publicity of blowing the “other Air Force One” out of the sky? I imagine that was part of the equation in not making this public.

    Then here’s a thought: how about not buzzing NYC with it?

    When the plane crashed in Queens NYC was locked down in 5 mins and Nat guard were everywhere. My office was on 42nd street at the time.

    Isn’t it fabulous how Obama has reconciled with our enemies and put fear into the hearts of Americans? Does any image illustrate so neatly the wrongheadedness and recklessness of the Obama administration than Americans scrambling in terror from a joyriding Air Force One? You can almost see a cartoon bubble sprouting from the jumbo jet saying, “What me worry?”

    White House Military Office director Louis Caldera issued a brief statement: “Last week, I approved a mission over New York. I take responsibility for that decision,” he said. “While federal authorities took the proper steps to notify state and local authorities in New York and New Jersey, its clear that the mission created confusion and disruption. I apologize and take responsibility for any distress that flight caused,”

    In other words, Caldera was ordered to fall on his own spear to spare Obama from embarassment, as usual for his staff. For Obama, the buck stops There. Call it friendly fire. I just hope we have enough troops to sacrifice to cover Obama’s screw-ups.

    Fortunately, this was not an act of terror, only a man-made disaster. The problem lies not with President Obama, of course, but rather with all those poor, deluded people at Ground Zero who didn’t get the memo that the Global War on Terror is over, downgraded to overseas contingency operations. There is nothing to fear but fear, right? Right?

    It’s almost as if the people of Manhattan, Obama’s core constituency, don’t really believe his Smart Diplomacy will protect them.

    While this plays now as farce, it will be seen later as foreshadowing tragedy.

    Okay, during the Obama administration, 4,000 gallons of jet fuel was ignited to form a 10,000 foot long wall of fire to celebrate a Marine air base’s anniversary and now Air force One cruises around with an F-16 just because Obama wants an up to date picture with the Statue of Liberty. That’s a lot of CO2. Somehow, I just can’t work up enough guilt to switch to CFLs.

    I guess President Obama or someone on his staff didn’t like the photo going over the Grand Canyon. What I can not understand is there are 10,000′s of photos in the archive and why they didn’t just pick another from there if they didn’t like the present one.

    The real issue for me is why they Obama administration thinks it is okay to spend over $100k for a photo shoot to replace one website picture when we have an outrageous deficit.

    Who, later in the war, upgraded to a P-51 while fighting the Lufwaffe, and revenged the Germans’ bombing of Pearl Harbor. That must have happened after he escaped from the Jap sub. LOL

    I’ve seen the YouTubes and I can’t imagine that ANYONE would be able to tell that plane was Air Force One!

    I didn’t live in NYC when 9/11 happened and seeing those videos brought my heart into my throat and tears to my eyes. I can’t imagine what New Yorkers must have felt seeing that.

    There is NO WAY anyone can tell me hussein didn’t know about this. And to not warn people is just OUTRAGEOUS.

    The people of New York City did NOT overreact!

    All this to get a ‘better photo’ of Air Force One?!?!?! GAH… what is it going to take for the left to see what a DISASTER this narcissistic idiot is.

    I pray everyone who had the living daylights scared out of them today will be able to sleep in peace tonight.

    And the liberal statists said that the Bush administration was “out of touch,” and moronic. The New York Post released a 100 days, 100 mistakes list, and the list grows every day, sometimes two to three mistakes a day (making up for rare moments that Obama and his cronies AREN’T behaving like complete idiots.

    We’re being ruled by total mouth-breathing inbred idiots. I can’t fully express the disdain I have for these people. They belong in a mental institution, NOT in seats of power with the future of a once-great nation in their filthy hands. They literally belong locked up for the good of decent, sane society.

    It would have been more appropriate of this administration to have SAM 27000 (The call sign of any VC-137 {executive 747} when flying without the president) photographed flying over a sewage treatment plant.

    I get what you are saying, but the truth is that people get the government they deserve. I’ll try not to be vendictive, but first I got to say, na na na na na na!! Liberal New Yorkers….
    There, got it off my chest. Any New Yorkers who need a hug….here is a virtual one

    The truth can be ugly. I must agree that the people of New York City did NOT overreact-Mayor Bloomberg over reached in moral indignation but that is who Mayor Bloomberg is. But then the people of NYC did vote for the twit. But then the American people voted for the other twit.

    I am interested and we shall see how far this story goes–how long before they blame President Bush.

    Because of Bush’s policies, we had the 9/11 disaster. If Bush had done what the Left wanted, it would have never occurred. Today, the planes could have buzzed NYC without anyone getting upset. Therefore, it’s all Bush’s fault.

    There…the WH excuse, supported by the MSM.

    He doesn’t take responsibility for anything that his administration screws up on.

    Other Presidents with more class would most likely have issued a statement apologizing to the city of New York for his oversight. Of course, other Presidents probably would have issued an announcement to at least the local NYC media.

    Joy – you are so right. I was a former Air Traffic Controller, and I MIGHT be able to tell it’s a 747, but I MIGHT NOT be able to see what’s painted on its side.

    Besides, the deep rumblings are what people probably heard, and trying to look up with tall buildings around, how could you see The ODoobie Logo on the side?

    I would have been right there trying to evacuate – I was trained to respond efficiently and effectively – which would mean to get out of Harm’s Way.

    Question:
    Could the photos taken of Air Force One over Lower Manhattan yesterday be considered torture photos?

    Seeing how the people reacted they should be. Will Prompterbama release these torture photos like the 200 he is intending to release to embarrass the Bush Administration?

    I wonder what the TOTUS thinks?

    I find it impossible to believe Obama didn’t know about this lunacy. Of course, he’s blaming someone else and ‘we found out about it at the same time as you.’

    They expect us to believe there’s someone in government that can just independently decide the POTUS can’t use this mode of transportation today?

    He or she, alone, can decide to spend at least half a million dollars of tax-payer money (counting the Fighter jet escort), to get a neat picture?

    While, at the same time, having the juice to order the people responsible for defense and security to keep it a secret?

    I know there’s alot of (good) jokes being posted about the stupidity of this truly insensitive (arrogant) event. But, secondarily to my disgust over what this did to New Yorkers, I’m furious that this lying POS-POTUS is getting another pass.

    Some poor slob is going to have to fall his sword for Obamessiah. And we’re going to be told to believe this low-level grunt had the ability to do all these things on his own.
