Source: Obama furious over NYC plane scare
Washington Examiner ^ | 04-28-09 | AP

Posted on 04/28/2009 5:43:57 AM PDT by theruleshavechanged

When told of the flight, President Barack Obama was furious, a White House official said on the condition of anonymity to discuss private conversations.

Still, federal officials provided few details and wouldn't say why the public and area building security managers weren't notified. They also wouldn't address why someone thought it was a wise decision to send two jets into New York City, all for a few photos with the Statue of Liberty as a backdrop.

By furious, you mean Obama was laughing his head off over the stunt

"I'm outraged! Outraged that some idiot thought this would be a good idea!"
"The photos are ready for your review Mr. President."
"Thank you."

I’m so sick of the “He didn’t know” B.S. This was a backup presidential 747 escorted by the Air Force who I believe, at last check of the Constitution, reports to the President.

Therefore, whether he knew it or not, he’s fully responsible for the actions of yesterday.

If this had been Bush, we’d be hearing the idiotic left calling for his head, but as such Obama gets a free pass and can respond with “He was furious.”

Hell, I’ll bet the liberals were HOPING it was another 911 yesterday...they’re all a bunch of hateful, anti-American jackholes.

NYC plane embarrassment, not one word of it in the online version of the New York Times.

Obama does not give a damn about anybody else. His Administration is starting to pick up this attitude from the Boss. It simply never occured to them to place themselves in the position of New Yorkers, to ask how they would react. They could not care less.

They are a government of sociopaths.

Bottom line...even if there was no crash, this was a terror attack on NYC/NJ by the White House!

Here's the best video to demonstrate the fear and panic it created...Air Force One Flyby Of Goldman Sachs Tower

Well, now we have the tidy political cover story. “It is whispered that Obama was furious...”

How come we never see this: “An insider told us Obama was laughing at the foolish New Yorkers...

This was beyond stupid. It was like setting off the fire alarms around NYC with buildings loaded with still suffering people from the grim reality of 9/11.

The majority of NYCers voted for the narcisstic 0b0z0. Now, they have been thrown under his arrogant bus.

Plane stupid: Mayor Bloomberg outraged over military photo-op
http://www.nydailynews/ny_local ^

Posted on Tuesday, April 28, 2009 5:38:00 AM by LottieDah

Just plane dumb.

A perfect storm of idiocy led to a frightening 9/11 flashback for thousands of New Yorkers Monday when a jumbo jet and an F-16 fighter jet buzzed lower Manhattan without warning.

A “furious” Mayor Bloomberg denounced the dunces who dreamed up the stunt - and the NYPD officials and bureaucrats who never told him about it.

By day’s end, an obscure City Hall deputy named Marc Mugnos, who makes $60,000 a year, was taking the fall for not telling Bloomberg that the low-flying planes were coming. He was reprimanded.

But there was plenty of blame to go around.
