   So the photo they release will be one of Soros sitting in the presidents chair surrounded by Hooters girls with the Statue of Liberty out the window right?

    The music video for the song takes place on an airplane, parodying the movie Airplane!. Two airline mechanics (played by Tenacious D) hide “World Domination brand ‘Erotic’ Sleeping Powder”[1] in the coffee-maker, which ends up incapacitating everyone who drinks the coffee. The band, having avoided the coffee, finds themselves forced to land the plane.

    I have too much respect for the professionalism of the Air Force, especially The 1st Airlift Squadron, 89th Airlift Wing(Operating Presidential flights)to believe that they did anything untoward in this farce. They merely provided the aircraft(which, incidentally, probably wasn’t AF1, since that is only used when POTUS is actually aboard – if Obama WAS on board, that just deepens the controversy).

    Just a thought: if you are escorting the airplane when it is Air Farce One, your duty is to protect the airplane and all occupants, and keep a sharp lookout for anything the least bit suspicious. You have to be ready to respond to any emergency. You DO NOT have time to take a pretty picture out of the window (or otherwise) of the pretty plane flying by the pretty Lady Liberty.

    Any enemy would not necessarily know if it was occupied by THE ONE or not, but the escort must be ready to defend at all times and at all costs.

    So what they are now admitting to is that the President of the United States now has now idea what goes on with, on, or near the aircraft that he uses as a personal charter for dining out and such?

    The Obama Administration is making it their official stance that the plane that they have been calling “Air Force One”, even though they state that bHo had not been on the plane at the time, was taken out for some sort of joy ride without the President of the United States, the Vice President, the Chief of Staff, or anyone else in his Cabinet knowing anything about it?

    They hold this stance all the way to the extent that they are doing what they are calling an “Official Review of the Incident”?

    And the MSM is remaining completely silent on this?

    My God…what the hell is happening to my country and in the White House? What happened to all those “In depth investigative journalists” that were swarming all over Washington D.C. for over 8 years?

    the Obama administration has reversed itself and will release “a photo” of the Scare Force One flyover.

    For $300K we only get one photo from The One? That sounds like the way our inefficient government has always worked. I was expecting change. Personally, I’d rather pay $300K for a hammer. At least a hammer can be used to make something useful.

    But since we paid it, maybe we should put the photo on a T-shirt that says, “All I got for my $300K was this lousy T-shirt.”

    (And just think of all the cancers Arlen could have cured by now if that photo shoot money had been given to specterforthecure.com.)

    Classic quote from Beltway Bob on a street somewhere near the now forgotten, by the WH and Dems in general, ground zero. He’s clinging to his iPod, praying (ok, begging) he’ll stop upchucking from the under-cooked wagyu and arugala Hussein dinner from the night before and not screw up the ‘ First 100 days of THE ONE’ video moment: “Look boss–I mean master– Zee plane! Zee plane”!

    I was going to leave a comment, but after hyperventilating and screeding, I’m simply out of breath and can’t type. ‘Scuse me while I pass out.

    The main thing I noticed about the Obama Victory Flyover was that the weather was terrible, it was hazy and at a bad time of day.

    Any photographer would have scratched the “mission.”

    I agree. Excuses made so far are all BS. They will wear us out before we ever get the truth. Add this to the long list of anti-American, anti-Liberty, anti-Life, anti-Freedom things this sucker has done.

    If only Nixon could have been in charge of investigating Watergate.

    That is the standard Liberals hold for their own.
