Come on, who's surprised? The White House-engineered photo-op of low-flying Air Force aircraft that caused terror in New York City this week epitomizes the Age of Obama. What better way to mark 100 days in office than with an appalling exercise in pointless taxpayer-funded stagecraft?
The superficiality, the unseriousness, the hubris, the obliviousness to post-Sept. 11 realities: They were trademarks of the Obama campaign, and they are the tattoos on his governance.
He never leaves home without his teleprompter. All the Obama world's a stage. Or a world ready to be staged.
So is it any wonder he would staff his White House military office with a clueless paper pusher who saw nothing wrong with spending inordinate government resources - and re-creating Sept. 11 havoc - to update Air Force One publicity shots? And who planned, believe it or not, to do the same in the District next month, where the Sept. 11, 2001, jihadists murdered 53 passengers and six crew members onboard American Airlines Flight 77, and 125 military and civilian personnel inside the Pentagon? All for some publicity shots.
No one should be shocked. Remember: Barack Obama is the frivolous man who concocted his own presidential-looking great seal before he was elected. An ego big enough to publicly display a ridiculous "Vero Possumus" ("Yes, we can" in Latin) motto and a regal eagle with the Obama campaign logo emblazoned on its chest is an ego capable of far more reckless things.

What’s the big deal...he was probably just sending out for NY pizza!
2008-2012: America’s Lost Years
So far no photos from the “photo op”.
Just checking! ; )
still would love to who was on that plane. You know some congress critter had to think it would be cool.
Opps sorry, would love to know
That be the one!
America will likely be lost during his tenure.
White House threatens to call out press dogs (because Obama owns them) on private citizen.
If President Bush had pulled a stunt like this any time post 9/11 we all know what the reaction in the media and congress would have been. But Bamster? TIME thinks it's funny!
Air Force One Flyover: Time Amused by White House Lack of Transparency
Yeah that's right morons. Yuck it up. As for those in New York who voted for him - deal with it suckers.
Many people, myself included thought the Clinton years were bad !!! Hate to say it but I am almost wishing we had Bill instead of the "Big O"
Old Hippies,too vain to regret, demand contemporary meaning for their sick and wrong cultural revolution of forty years past and in the face of hard facts and reality brutality have only hate and irrational revenge in mind for those who saw the childish farce in the first place and in their dignified old age,continue to dissent.
In spite of more than obvious defects,Obama is the ultimate politically correct X-er who validates their existence—they HAVE to support him and destroy his opposition or their world will be expose for the infantile fraud it was and is.
possibly with Biden? LOL - seems like something stupid he would do.
The people should demand to know who was on that aircraft and took the joyride. The media is useless
I saw it posted earlier, heard Levin talk about it.
Honest to goodness, if that doesn’t scare the crap out of you, nothing will. Listening to the entire interview is even more instructive.

I was dumbfounded when I heard it. And I listened to the entire thing THREE TIMES. How special this character is. He’s unwilling the release the power of the U.S. gov’t on terrorists, dictators, and everyone else trying to harm this country (that includes YOU in N.Korea, btw) but he is not bashful about releasing the same on an American citizen.
Stunning.
And scary.
Gonna be a long four years, gang. I hope the entire ecomomy collapse. That might be the only way to dispose of this nutjob.
“collapses”
Sorry. I meant to edit, but I AM TOO MAD RIGHT NOW TO THINK!
*but I feel a little better!*
That’s right. If it’s superficial, irrelevant or shallow, BO will do it or say it. But what he says is not what he does.
What a hustler.
All he's interested in is face time with the press. He wants to leave the impression of know all and be all.
The ignorant jive turkey will even hold a press conference to announce a press conference on a slow day.
