It was flying low over the city and had a miltary jet tailing it. Shit, I hope there are some lawsuits over this bullshit.

[Black Widow]

Either I'm just dumb or I really don't get it... lol don't answer that btw :D

What's wrong with it??? LOL I'm serious.

I mean I know all the stuff that happened with 9/11 obviously... What's wrong with a military jet?

Please explain it to me, because I'm at a loss here. Thanks :)

Ummm, yes.

Planes are not allowed to fly over the city like that, especially so low. They said that a few people we hospitalized when they were injured by crowds of people scrambling to evacuate skyscrapers in Manhattan.

The Obama administration said they informed NY City officials and the FAA, but said that because flights by Air Force 1 are classified, they could not inform the public what was going on.

I mean how out of touch is his administration?

Military jets typically tail hi-jacked jets when there is enough warning.

[Black Widow]

Ohhh... ok I couldnt really tell I guess from the video how low it was... I'm pretty close to an airport so low planes are "common" here I suppose...

Thanks RG :)

Air Force One is nothing more than a modified 747 passenger jet. All the people of New York saw, was a 747 circling the city at low altitudes with two fighter jets tailing it.

Obama's thought process: "Oh hey I wanna get a pic of me in this pimped out 747 mothafucka! Let's fly REALLY LOW in NEW YORK CITY... They won't care! It's not like a terrorist would ever fly a plane into a building or anything!"

What a fuckwad!

[Smurf-Herder]

Ummm, yes.

With Obama, it's all about his ego.

No concern for anything but. Eventually, and mark my words on this, he will throw everybody under the bus to feed his ego. He's just that dangerous.

[mwillman]

I think you guys need to talk to the people that made the flight path not the President. He does not fly the plane and he does not choose the flight path.

this is just one more example of you putting blame where it doesn't belong.

I blamed the Obama administration, and I was correct in blaming them as this excerpt (http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2009/apr/27/white-house-apologizes-nyc-flyover/) from the Washington Times confirms:

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.”…

Now that that is settled, what did you think of the administrations photo op mwillman?

[Hog Trash]

I'm guessing this was a photo-op for the purpose of some future magazine and TV promotions for the illustrious Mr Obama?

I believe they are afraid the mass brainwashing is wearing off or weakening and they must periodicaly jumpstart the Obamazombies.

Seriously, no joking this time.

[mwillman]

Im all for President Obama doing photo ops.

You little misrepresentations aren't going to change my mind.

It must suck to have all this hate and know that you are the minority and as such are powerless and shit out of luck.

[radioguy]

Im all for President Obama doing photo ops.

OK... We have one vote for scaring the shit out of New Yorkers and causing mass panic for a photo op...

Anyone else wanna join mwillman and give a thumbs up to the Administration for this thoughtless move?

[mwillman]

Please you think becuase you can spin things you are clever but your not.

Your just a powerless conservative who must sit in bitter denial and make up any chance you get to lambaste those that are doing what you people couldn't.

[Smurf-Herder]

I think the next step should be a mass unannounced nuclear threat drill with multiple NEST teams all across NYC, with the national guard posting roadblocks at all exits; and a simulated unannounced nuclear flash to test their response time to a real emergency :D

"Yeah, that's the ticket!" :thumbsup:

[radioguy]

Please you think becuase you can spin things you are clever but your not.

You are the one who just gave your approval of the administrations photo op over New York City today... There was no spinning there pal.

[mwillman]

No that's how you spin it.

I said you cant blame President Obama for what the air force did.

You then used what I said to imply that I said it was a good idea.

Its spin and its all you ever do.

[radioguy]

No that's how you spin it.

Lets recap...

I asked:

what did you think of the administrations photo op mwillman?

You responded:

Im all for President Obama doing photo ops.

I rest my case.

[mwillman]

No you try to manipulate things so others look bad.

My supporting President Obama doing photo ops does not mean I support
scaring New Yorkers.

Really try using logic for once and put away your sophistry.

how many times do i have to tell you?

it's THAT bad

he has NO idea how to govern or what makes a president

his campaign was a SHAM

his more experienced and sophisticated supporters are experiencing SHAME


By SUZANNE SATALINE, JONATHAN D. ROCKOFF and CHRISTOPHER CONKEY
As secret missions go, this one was a flop.

On Monday morning, one of the 747s used to ferry around the U.S. president was dispatched to the Statue of Liberty, escorted by a fighter jet. Assignment: Get some fresh glamour shots of the plane.

The Air Force said the flight needed to remain confidential. So while New York police knew about it, as did at least one person in the mayor's office, regular New Yorkers remained in the dark.

As a result, to onlookers Monday all across downtown Manhattan -- where the World Trade Center once stood -- the photo shoot looked like a terrorist attack. People watched in horror as a massive aircraft, trailed closely by an F-16 fighter jet, banked and roared low near the city, in a frightening echo of the events of Sept. 11, 2001.

Fearing the worst, thousands of people streamed out of the skyscrapers and into the streets. Some buildings ordered evacuations. "Oh God, it was mayhem in here, just mayhem," says Rubin Shimon, manager of Styling Haircutters, a barbershop near Ground Zero. Many people took shelter in the shop to call loved ones on their cellphones.

It was all over in a half-hour or so. Then the finger-pointing began. "I'm annoyed -- furious is a better word -- that I wasn't told," said New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg at a news conference. He'd been scheduled to talk about a swine-flu outbreak at a Queens school, but also sounded off at the federal government for its "badly conceived" flyover plan.

He chastised his own office for its role in keeping the flyover secret. On Thursday night, city officials say, a junior mayoral aide had been alerted to the flyover by the Federal Aviation Administration, which requested that it be kept secret. Someone in City Hall alerted the New York Police Department, but no public announcement was made.

Marc Mugnos was reprimanded for not apprising the mayor, and a disciplinary letter was placed in his file, a spokesman said. Mr. Mugnos couldn't be reached for comment.

The email sent to City Hall describes a "flying photo op" -- government-speak for a publicity photo -- to include two or possibly three passes over the area. The email, sent by an FAA official and reviewed by The Wall Street Journal, lists flight patterns and specifies a photo-op altitude of 1,000 to 1,500 feet.

The email specifies that the information "only be shared with persons with a need to know" and "shall not be released to the public." It also says that, "Due to the possibility of public concern regarding [Department of Defense] aircraft flying at low levels, coordination with Federal, State and Local law enforcement agencies...has been accomplished."

The email's author, James J. Johnston, of FAA air traffic, declined to comment.

An Obama administration official said the mission was "classified" by the military and that the FAA, which controls much of the airspace over Manhattan, did what the military asked. "The mission was to send [the aircraft] up to get a picture of it flying around the Statue of Liberty," this person said. "They said they needed to update their photo files." President Obama wasn't aboard.

The New York photo shoot wasn't the only one planned. The White House had scheduled a follow-up session on May 5 or May 6 in Washington, D.C., according to two government officials. The D.C. flyover has now been canceled, a government official said.

Louis Caldera, a former Secretary of the Army who runs the White House Military Office, took the blame. "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," he said. "I apologize and take responsibility for any distress that flight caused."

Mr. Caldera met Monday afternoon with White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel and Deputy Chief of Staff Jim Messina "to hear the president's displeasure," an official said.

It was a beautiful spring day in the Big Apple -- perfect for picture taking. The aircraft, painted in White House livery, was trailed by one F-16 fighter jet. The aircraft had flown from Andrews Air Force Base in Maryland, across New Jersey, down the Hudson River and then circled the Statue of Liberty before heading off.

For many who witnessed the maneuver, it stirred dark memories. Andrew Wybolt, who works for Barclays PLC in a skyscraper that borders the Hudson, said people rushed for the windows when they heard the planes. "They just started sprinting and freaking out," he said.

Thousands of workers from Merrill Lynch, American Express and other companies in the buildings that ring the former World Trade Center site hustled for the exits. Many stood outside their offices, nervously looking up into the sky, while hundreds of others walked north, along the West Side Highway, as thousands of people had done the morning of Sept. 11, 2001.

"To do something like this to all these people who have already been through 9-11 is just wrong," said Greg Forman, a broker at the New York Mercantile Exchange, which is located in a building along the Hudson river, across the street from the World Trade Center site.

One block north, construction workers on the 43-story Goldman Sachs Group Inc. tower said they had a close-up view of the low-flying plane. "I saw that thing coming and ran down the stairs," said Eddie Navedo, who was clearing construction debris on the 23rd floor of the new building when he spotted the plane flying low over the river, then banking sharply to the west. "Everybody was saying, it's a terrorist attack."

Not everyone lost his cool. Mr. Shimon, the manager of the barbershop where people fled on Monday, was present for the attacks in 2001, and in fact at that time worked in a shop even closer to the World Trade Center than his current one. He watched the towers fall that day.

So did the events of Monday scare him? "To tell you the truth, not really," Mr. Shimon said. "I didn't think it was such a big deal. I'm a New Yorker."

Never served in the military, but a Clinton boy, appointed into this administration by Barry Hussein as Director of the White House Military Office.

What a pick Barry!

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

When will the Obama admin begin using their brain?

There in lies the problem. When you only have 1 brain to use amongst all of the people in the administration, you have to wait your turn. :lmao2:
