Its a new administration and the one doing the Photoshop isn't that experienced. ..it's a wonder they don't have the whaling old Hamas lady waving her arms about....and puffy clouds of smoke..it's probably an old AP photo

And you KNOW the only reason they released a photo is so that they could be seen as guiltfree when the release torture photos that will put our troops at risk.

I don’t buy any of this. I believe zero ordered the flight.

Actually, due to data retention laws, most of the white house is not allowed to access their email away from their desks. Obambi (BIRD!) is the first idiot to break this rule as Pres__ent.

I rather think Obama threw Caldera under AF1. While in flight.

Yeah, well the report definitely works to clear Messina's name of any blame. Just read this tidbit trying to imagine Caldera saying this stuff out loud:
Ultimately, the Director did not notify Messrs. Messina or Gibbs about the flyover. When asked why he failed to do so, he did not offer a coherent explanation. He stated that it was not a conscious decision he did not decide not to notify them. Instead, he suggested that it may have been an oversight. ... He then stated that people frequently recommend that he notify Mr. Messina about certain events. Sometimes they are right; sometimes they are wrong.
Sounds like Bill Clinton and the definition of "is". They should've taped this guy's interview!

OK, I stand corrected on that small part. You and I both know it’s BS though.

Actually, You shouldn’t run processes and stuff by email. This shows institutional incompetence.
They think they are being high tech (Obama’s Idea I am sure), but you don’t run critical processes by email, never.
If they are, you are going to see more flops like this, and you are going to see them constantly. You may not hear about them every week, but I assure you they are there.
Sounds like we are in for a fun 4 years of gaffs.

No, I think whoever did that photoshop was VERY experienced. This is their way of diminishing what they did. They did not fly that low. and while it was upsetting to the ppl of NY, it was their fault for being so sensitive.. after all, the plane was MILES above the statue of liberty.

“How is it Sooooo out of perspective?”
Have you seen the videos of that “photo Op”?
That plane flew so low and so close thru the buildings that it caused the most resilient ppl to run screaming. It was scary just to watch it on tv.
Now the one and only pic they release shows that plane to appear miles above Lady Liberty.

You remember, don't you, that Caldera was former President of the Univ. of New Mexico and fired by the regents in 2006. However, as a condition of his leaving, he walked away with a nice $720,000.

after all, the plane was MILES above the statue of liberty. They used a photo taken from the Hindenburg and photoshopped the airplane into it.
Hard to get the perspective just right.
