I’m sure our recession-weary countrymen would be interested to know whether their president thinks AF1 is his personal political fund raising vehicle.

Just. Imagine. If. Bush. Had. Done. This. It would have been the biggest disaster since the Hindenberg. We'd never hear the end of it. John Steward would still be making snarky snotty remarks.

I know I’m not the only one, but I believed from the beginning that there were no pictures. I would love to know who was on the plane.

The Captain (Lt Col?) of that 747 should be fired for taking orders from that Kenyan who cannot prove he is a U.S. citizen.

Oh, now the public is not allowed to see them?

$328k of public money for private pictures? That’s gall.

It’s not a matter of national security, they were arranged and taken using public funds, but now they exist only for the White House’s private enjoyment. Brilliant.

Shamelessly stolen from Small Dead Animals blog:

Now Is The Time At SDA When We Juxtapose!

April 23: - "The Obama administration, in an agreement with the American Civil Liberties Union, said Thursday it will release photos of alleged abusive interrogations."

May 5: - The $328,835 snapshots of an Air Force One backup plane buzzing lower Manhattan last week will not be shown to the public, the White House said yesterday."

Bush would've been utterly and completely eviscerated.

But in this case certainly our "watchdog media" will be satisfied with Obama's blithe dismissal.

There are no pictures. It was a fund raiser, or a payoff to some anonymous foreign donor who might enjoy watching non-believers panic in the streets.

The biggest reason that they will not re;ease these pictures is because the public will get a look at what the government will do to needlesly waste their money. Everyone who has photoshop has already done a better job of showing AF1 at these landmarks, and it was free.

Best quote from the comments: "O Farce One". I say we use it for all references to the plane for the remainder of his term.

Ø Farce 1
