NEW YORK (Reuters) – An Air Force fighter jet and one of President Barack Obama's official planes on Monday flew low over the Statue of Liberty in an approved photo opportunity that startled some New Yorkers who have memories of the September 11 attacks.
New York City officials notified some businesses but not all city agencies or the general public. People in New York remain sensitive to such incidents in lower Manhattan, site of the 2001 attacks involving hijacked airliners that destroyed the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center.
It's only Air Force I if the Prez is on it. Hell, with photoshop they can have him flying the damn thing! Now, that'd be a badass change from the previous Prez's playing dress-up on an aircraft carrier.

The ensuing chaos:
I've never met a retarded person who wasn't smiling.
actually, from what I've read today, Obama wasn't aware of it and is PISSED
“The Knave abideth.” I dare speak not for thee, but this maketh me to be of good comfort; I deem it well that he be out there, the Knave, being of good ease for we sinners.
But to answer your question in no particular order nor exhaustively: (1) Continuing the freebies to the plutocrats to maintain/enhance his political power, (2) surrounding himself with insiders to curry favor with the plutocrats so they will support his initiatives, (3) allowing those insiders to remain in powerful positions despite their blatant and documented conflicts of interest in order to maintain his political capital among the plutocrats, and (4) picking inane fights for political reasons to help himself get re-elected rather than focus energy where needed.
