bordertown Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 The Obama administration today flew Air Force One accompanied by fighter planes up the Hudson River for a photo shoot. While NYC officials apparently knew of the flyer over - for security reasons they could not give advance notice to the local population. Buildings were evacuated as a precaution in Manhattan. 1) It was a stupid idea to begin with. 2) Show a lack fiscal restraint in eliminating wasteful government spending. We have cut a $100M in fat out of our bloated government. I suspect we could have saved $100k + on this publicity stunt. 3) Our own government I terrorizing the citizens in our largest city. Why do I think we will never see the pictures from this public relations nightmare? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my twisted mind I see Obama and all his new friends ( OUR OLD ENEMIES) were all in the plane yucking it up doing a reenactment of 9-11. And that is why Obama does not care about his wastefull spending, did not think it was stupid andterrorized Americans cause hey we need a taste of our own medicine :rant: :sick: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ETBU89 Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 Of course, Obama claims he knew absolutely NOTHING about this at all.... Riiiiiight. The mayor says he didn't either. It's all about image and nothing of substance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BGR Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 Talk about photo ops gone bad. The lack of or short notification to the NY city government and all its agencies was absolutely stupid. Then the agencies that were told were put under gag orders, not alert the general public. They could have been notified so it wouldn't have scared everyone so badly. Just plain old idiocy. Can you imagine what people thought when they saw a jumbo jet flying low with a fighter jet trailing it? Exactly what I would have thought... another terrorist attack. Idiocy run rampant. The White House has apparently banned all fly overs around the area now... wasn't that already the case? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieHardCubFan Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 Between this pile of BS (flying over Manhattan in the area of Ground Zero) and the almost sadly humorous telepromter gafe - it just reassures me that you people have elected a total IDIOT as president! Paraphrasing the first woman, Michelle Obama,..."First the first time in my adult life, I am not proud of what the United States has and is becoming."

OldSchool Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 Not sour grapes. The mayor of NYC, a demo, is quite angry. Speaking of photos. Obama wants to release pics of torture, but demos wont release pics of people jumping from buildings on 9-11? Of course, sideshow, you are probally one who believes we asked for it on 9-11.

Lhornfan Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 Actually, to see the some pics of the incident all you have to do is visit cnn.com or foxnews.com. Both sites have multiple photos of the plane being following by a fighter jet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bordertown Posted April 28, 2009 Author Share Posted April 28, 2009 More sour grapes... Please explain how this is sour grapes. The photo opportunity the White House was envisioning was not a network camera filming through the haze of NYC or cell phone videos of people screaming on the streets. I think the vision was a little bit more patriotic than what we have seen. The official photos are what we will not see. The majority of America wanted Obama. Our children will reap the rewards of his victory with a lower standard of living. Not my cup of tea, but my vote was on the short end. I am pointing out the hypocrisy of tighting the belts of government (last week's pronouncement) and a joy ride by a jumbo jet and two fighter jets. What is the carbon tax on that excursion? Forget the public relations nightmare of the flight itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They talk about CEOs wasting money on private jets yet they blow all of this money to fly a commercial jet and two fighter jets. They aer all environmentally friendly on the political side but blow all of this burned jet fuel into the atmosphere for no reason! They will not show pictures of their blunders but show any picture they can to try to sway they publis against their opponents. Day by day they are making themselves out to be bigger and bigger hypocrits. Typical from Obama! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stoney Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 compare this to bush landing on the air craft carrier. the left had an uproar. obama decides to "reenact" the worst tragedy in american history under the guise of a publicity photo. hardly a peep. no front page news, no headline on 5:30 news. the left cant understand why after 8 years of being the vocal minority the right has the same expectations. obama, ever hear of photshop?

lemaman Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 how appropo had Obama been on the flight and they exploded into the Statue of Liberty. What a fitting metaphorical crash that would be as this administration is determined to kill our liberties one way or the other. Seriously, a stupid ploy. Photoshop it, but don't scare all hell outta folks. Obama claims he didn't know and was infuriated. Whatever. Another lie another day... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know I don't have an agenda with this or anything, but this whole ordeal was on CNN, FoxNews and MSNBC. It was also on all three websites. Sometimes we cannot see the forest because of the trees.

DieHardCubFan Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 Heard an interesting comment made about this this morning, especially regarding the left-liberal-orgasmic-lovefest the media has for the messiah... The commentator said (and I am paraphrasing) that Hussein Obama could burn the White House to the ground and the New York Times (or insert any other media group here) would say that he was doing some wonderful remodeling of the place!"
