The White House says it will indeed release a photograph from the $329,000 "photo shoot'' of one of the Air Force jumbo jets that serve as Air Force One when the president is aboard but mainly served to scare a lot of New Yorkers in that recent flyover.
President Barack Obama voiced outrage over the incident, as did the mayor of New York, the senior senator from New York and many street-level New Yorkers who didn't know what to make of the presidential aircraft trailed by an F-16 fighter making low arcs over the Hudson River. It was a "photo-op,'' the Federal Aviation Administration explained at the time -- freshening up the photo gallery for Air Force One...

They do not care what the White House dose with the military...
Ordering that stunt in the first place qualifies as a terrorist act, in my opinion. It sure terrorized a lot of folks that day. The ones behind it knew it would...and did it anyway. The REAL pics were probably of the terrified people running for cover.
Does anyone with any clout? I don't hear anyone in the GOP complaining about it.
I went Independent in 2005 right after the election.. the GOP is a dead horse to me.. Conservatism has died in the GOP and the RINO’s keep getting re-elected..
In the future.. its going to be up to the Voters to express their outrage.. not the party
They probably have pollsters and focus groups working overtime to figure out whether they should release nothing, one photo or multiple photos and which photos should be picked. The truth will be the last refuge of the desparate.
Screw the photo(s) — I want to see the flight and passenger manifests.
THERE ARE NO PHOTOS. I’m confused...where was the photographer? On the ground? In the Plane? WHERE. I want to know who the photographer is.
One of the jets was supposedly fitted with a camara.
Taking pictures of jumbo’s asssss???
Good one, silverleaf.
Doctoring photos that cannot be detected takes time people. Look what happened to the Iranians and CBS when they rushed.
I’m still confused as to why a picture of Air Force One, with a President who was once a Muslim, on the same flight plan as the ones on 9/11, could ever be construed as a GOOD THING.
My guess is that there was no photographer. It was a joy ride, pure and simple.
It takes a while to do a good Photoshop, to get the light and everything perfect enough to pass inspection by the pajamahadeen.
Riiight ...
I’m not holding my breath and how do we know it was taken recently. They just want this to go away.
Yep, there were no pictures and now they are scurrying to find someone that will do a better photoshop job than the birth certificate. I’m sure they are worried as hell that someone is going to detect the pic is a fake too. Watch, they will say the pics didn’t turn out or are lost. I want to see the flight and passenger manifest,
"Uhhh, hello, uhhh Photoshop? Oh sorry, Adobe...well uh, this is the President. Yeah, that one. I need to get a copy of Photoshop ASAP! You didn't!!!! Well, uhh, let me talk to someone who did! Yeah I'll hold. [mumbles] Lessee, which credit card is a government card - don't wanna use one of mine!"
If they provide an inside photo, we’ll know they are lying. However, we need to see the manifest, plan and passenger list of the flight, and someone, ANYONE, needs to actually investigate the Alabama National Guard and the use of their planes.
