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.

WTF, Fed? Ain't you guys ever heard of Photoshop? You can have Air Force I flying through the rings of Saturn, with flying kittens as escort.

obama putting self interests ahead of the countrys....yet again.

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.

Sweet pic:


The ensuing chaos:

I like Toothy's comment above...hilarious.

I can't figure out half of what is going on this world these days. I find it more stimulating to talk to Lainie about her boyfriend of the week.

actually, from what I've read today, Obama wasn't aware of it and is PISSED

Really? What other occasions would those be then?

As far as this event, somebody should get their ass handed to them for being a fucking moron. This is unforgivably stupid.

LOL rad's just baiting you slider.

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.
