Air Force One Flyover: Time Amused by White House Lack of Transparency
NewsBusters ^ | May 2, 2009 | P.J. Gladnick

Hee! Hee! Hee!

Isn't it just a laugh riot! We keep asking the White House for information about the Air Force One flyover incident by Lower Manhattan and they keep responding with evasions.

Ha! Ha! Ha!

And then they keep referring us to the Air Force which keeps bouncing the questions back to the White House which, in turn, refers us back to the Air Force again!

Isn't this just too funny!

That pretty much sums up the attitude of Time Magazine towards the Air Force One flyover affair as you can see in this article by Mark Thompson and Michael Scherer:

I wonder how many news organizations even filed an FOIA on this matter.

It's that evil planes fault. Just like guns are evil! (Click on the silly animation to see a very funny graphic thread devoted to this White House Blunder)

What would the MSM say if this were Pres. Bush?

Ineptitude to the n’th degree.

I got a kick out of this about Caldera, a Clinton appointee,Caldera, “Louis has served his country with distinction in uniform and in government, and his pedigree is second to none,”. It is all about breeding and upbringing, We the People are Mutts that do not matter. I can see that he would not have a pound puppy. It just does not have the right pedigree.

Sorry, but if NYC voters forgot about the real 9/11, they'll forget this joyride in about two weeks. Somebody is working on a "it's Bush's fault" excuse right now. They just have to check which moonbat theory focus-groups best.

PJ, I'm afraid we're in for a replay of eight sorry Clinton years.

Remember how the press- no matter how outrageous the violations- would collectively stand back and marvel "isn't it amazing how he gets away with it!"

Contrast that with the last eight years, when President Bush could not get an even break, no matter what he did.

NYC citizens,like SO many Kranium Knumb Kool-Aid Knuckledraggers voted for the nefarious radical Leftist so it is fitting that he show his appreciation for the useful idiots like Stalin did to HIS “loyal” supporters.

A fancy photo-op was more important to him than the mental security of those who experienced 9/11.

And any who say Obama didn't plan the selfish and ego-maniacal stunt is as clueless and/or mendacious as he is.

Really,Bush walking on water was,”he couldn't swim,” while Obama swimming is,”he is too humble to show his water-walking skills.”

There should be a law to require disclaimers with all MSM outlets that states:

“Similarities to either empirical fact or rational thought are wholly coincidental and, quite honestly, unintentional.”

Apparently the photos were for some kind of top secret publicity because they sure aren’t in any rush to let us see them.

The people who like to consider themselves the once honorobable profession of “journalism” don’t need to bother with a FOIA, all they have to do is watch Obama’s mouth move. Then their job is done to their satisfaction.

Obama tried to blame the air force, but its going to take a lot more for Manhattan, which wrote the book on limousine liberalism, to doubt President Enchanted.
Even if all these metrosexual pansies were running down 5th street thinking another 9/11 was happening. What they were most upset was it interfered with their manicure/pedicure appointments. And I’m not talking about the females.

I’m beginning to wonder if Opossum wanted these photos as gifts for heads of state. In his mind, his signature on an AF1 with Ms. Liberty in the background is more valuable than a bunch of DVDs or an IPod. (Emphasis on “his signature”, there)

Somewhere in the dark reaches of my mind, though, I’m on-board with you Peej. Someone very special to Opossum was on that plane.

I just find it interesting that no one is asking to see the photos of this “photo shoot”. I have a feeling that the MSM knows the White House can’t produce them and doesn’t want to raise the question and make things uncomfortable for Lord Zero.

The MSM is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Obama White House.

Ayn Rand pegged this exactly in Atlas Shrugged.

There is nothing new under the sun.
