ABC news ^ | May 7, 2009 | JUSTIN ROOD and MEGAN CHUCHMACH

The White House has apparently had a change of heart, and will release "a photo" from the pricey, fright-inducing Manhattan flyover photo-op involving an Air Force fighter jet and a Boeing 747 which is sometimes used as the president's plane.

he White House has said it is conducting an internal review of the fiasco, which cost over $328,000 in taxpayer dollars and frightened a broad swath of lower Manhattan, site of the 9/11 attack on the World Trade Center towers.

"The report I believe will be concluded at some point this week. We'll release its findings and release a photo," White House press secretary Robert Gibbs told reporters Wednesday.

At a press briefing a day earlier, Gibbs had dodged reporters' questions about the photo-op.

Why didn’t they just use Photoshop in the first place?

"The report I believe will be concluded at some point this week. We'll release its findings and release a photo,"

TRANSLATION: We have to find a patsy to take the blame and shift the spotlight away from obama. Once we decide on the patsy, we'll put it into print and place the individual on "probation" (to be promoted at a later date when no one is watching, along with a raise for taking the proverbial bullet)..

Methinks that would be a "change" of heat.

With photo shop and top quality zoom lenses there is no need to buzz a skyline for a great pic.

I want to compare the angle of the plane to the city with the footage from the ground.

No way that fighter escort took an official photo with a handy digital camera, I never saw a chase plane in all the other footage.

It will be pretty easy to check if it was photoshopped, unless it was taken from the roof of a tall building, and even then there should be records of people using a roof top for this.

Will that single photo show the Muslims that Obama authorized to be on this joy ride for a victory lap over Ground Zero?

My camera takes 6.6 shots a second. NO photographer takes only one photo. I have been known to take hundreds in hopes of getting a couple that I really like.

Nothing but more lies, more deception, more misdirection and more coverup from this gang of organized crime figures.

WHO WAS ON THE PLANE????

If they show One (1) photo, how are they going to justify not showing ALL the photos. Remember, at first they said the photos were classified. They will probably show a photo but it will probably be taken from the ground and look just like all the other amateur photos.
