    Obama Photo Op panics NYC

    Watta Maroon.

    Barack "Maverick" Obama Buzzes the Tower
    Panicked New Yorkers Run in the Streets
    Approved at the White House



    An Air Force One lookalike and two F-16s buzzed the Statue of Liberty in New York harbor this morning, halting work on nearby construction sites, causing resident and office workers to flee their high-rises and giving thousands of people in downtown Manhattan and New Jersey a major fright. At least two people were treated for minor injuries at Jersey City Medical Center after falling during the rush to exit their high-rises.

    “Everybody panicked,” said Daisy Cooper, a Merrill Lynch worker in Jersey City, who lost a nephew on 9/11. “Everybody was screaming and we all ran downstairs. I’m devastated…Everybody was running, we didn’t know why we were running. We just knew it was a plane, there we go, 9/11 again.”…

    A Pentagon official confirmed that while the Presidential Airlift Group, which is based out of Andrews Air Force Base, did inform the FAA and New York City officials about this morning’s aerial photo op. But they also told both agencies not to inform the public about it. The NYPD confirmed this.

    The White House apologized late Monday after the U.S. military - without public warning - buzzed New York City with one of the presidential planes trailed by an F-16 fighter jet.

    Not even Mayor Bloomberg knew they were coming.

    Bloomberg said a deputy commissioner, whom he would not name but derided as "dumb," failed to inform
    him that the planned photo shoot.

    "If I had known about it, I would have called them right away and asked them not to," the mayor said.

    That's just plane stupid. I could have photoshopped that and saved the Gov't about 300K and New Yorkers a lot of brown stained underwear. No doubt the makers of Valium will profit from this.

    Somewhere, a NYC lawyer is preparing a lawsuit over this. PTSD, loose bowels, heart palpitations, trauma...I can visualize the first cheesy lawyer commercial too. "Air Force One done you wrong? Call Willy Brown, LLC."

    Was he really at the controls?

    thats the key. I'm ok with the photo op.. but you need to let people know to prevent the panic. this could have been a cool thing but by not letting the public know it wasnt

    To do it anywhere else probably wouldn't cause a panic.

    But, in NYC, particularly that exact part of the city, is just unbelievably stupid.

    The stench of absolute incompetence radiating from every aspect of this Administration is becoming overwhelming.

    The image of Obama filling the sky over New York with a horrendously expensive display of top-shelf luxury jet transport, terrifying a city full of people with good reason to fear low-flying jet planes, is the perfect visual aid to illustrate the childishness, arrogance, and lack of historical awareness that characterizes this presidency.

    I cannot believe that no one has ever thought of taking a picture of Air Force One flying over the Statue of Liberty!!!
    Of course they have.
    But why use an old file photo when the Administration can blow more money.
    Maybe when Obama kept shouting CHANGE he was really telling use that thats all we would have left over when he was done.

    To me, this appears to be an act of psychological warfare on the citizens of the USA.

    How else do you explain the way this went down?

    How do we know that? Because they told us so?
    I heard B.O. was on the plane, and the flyover was done to impress Beyonce, who was in NYC.
