Why won’t The Kenyan release the photos of his campaign contributors who were riding on the plane?

Nice,, nice reminder. The Kenyan has no ego at all. The “temple” sure dovetails in nicely to this story.

“And what does any of that have to do with whether or not this photo is out of perspective? Perhaps you’re not expressing your thoughts soooooo well?”

Hahaha. Perhaps I am not. I am not talking about a mental perspective ... like saying “in the great scheme of things”.

I mean perspective as is enlarging a man to make a house look small. Trick of the eye kinda thing that is far from the truth.

In this case... That plane flew so close to the buildings that is made resilient people evacuate and run screaming. It flew so low and close to the statue of liberty that some joked it almost grazed her ear.

Yet, the ONE photo that they release enlarges the plane in a manner that makes it look like it is miles above Lady Liberty. That plane flew for a long period of time and most of it was eerily close to structures. Some of that time was high above the city.

Does that make sense? That pic is a visual perspective shot. To make the story look different than it really was.

sorry, I cannot explain it better than that.

Whatever it is the shadow time of day is different on the plane then on the boat.

I still don’t understand WHY they flew over NYC. Did they ever give a reasonable answer?

DO NOT QUESTION HIM

The man really thinks he is god.

His minions should take any fall to protect him from harm (sacrifice) for the greater good.....

“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.

It doesn't look miles above Lady Liberty — it looks really close. Think about it: in real life the statue is 300 ft tall, and the plane is many times shorter than it. In the picture they occupy roughly the same amount of vertical space. Don't see anything suspicious here.

Why would release altered pictures of a gaffe when everybody's seen the video already? They only released ONE photo. The REALLY embarrassing pictures that they're simply NOT releasing are those of AF1 in front of Manhattan's skyscrapers.

Giant waste of taxpayer expense that cost $350k. There's a letter posted on John McCain's website from Defense Secretary Robert Gates about it:

Col. Scott Turner. Pilot of Air Force 1.

Became commanding pilot when Obama came in. There was a very interesting program about AF1 when GWB was President. Scott Turner was the Co-Pilot. W’s pilot retired when his term was over. I believe he flew him back to Texas

OK, my theory. Bashir Assad of Syria was the passenger.

http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3707257,00.html

“Assad was due to arrive in Vienna Sunday for a two-day working visit, during which he was to meet his Austrian counterpart Heinz Fischer to discuss bilateral economic and cultural issues as well the political challenges in the Middle East and Syria’s role in the region.”

He was in Europe. We are in final stages of negotiations for the Netanyahu visit to DC. Assad is the problem. The Kenyan SENT Air Force one to fly him here. That, or he came here and got the royal treatment. Secret negotiations, and the Kenyan wants to talk to Muslims before he talks to the Israelis. Thats how he justifies the secret.

Can we account for Obamas and Assads whereabouts on that weekend? This was a monday morning flight. A thank you for a good sunday rappin with a homie?

This is WAY more plausible than Bush I in an SR-71 to Paris.

Oh yeah? If Louis Caldera were a REAL supporter, he would have gone to Fort Marcy Park as Vince Foster did and taken the bullet for the Kenyan. Hillary is laughing. /sarc
