SCALP NO. 1 IN FLYOVER FLAP (sicko-megalos in a power-mad WH)
NY POST ^ | 5/11/09 | EDITORIAL

Posted on 05/11/2009 3:31:16 AM PDT by Liz

....in the wake of the incredibly stupid photo op flyover Lower Manhattan, Obama accepted the resignation of Louis Caldera, WH Military Office director (former secy of the Army). As government foul-ups go, this one was pretty monumental. ....the incident cost taxpayers $357,00 and panicked 1000's of New Yorkers haunted by 9/11.......but who came up with the nutty idea? The Pentagon is undertaking a review -- Deputy White House COS Jim Messina says he didn't know until the flyover had taken place......where should the buck stop? Alas, that remains a mystery.

It's becoming more and more certain that we are laboring under the dictates of a power-mad govt .........staffed with megalomaniacs. The atrocities coming out of DHS are a prime example. The sicko-megalos are actually charcterizing ordinary citizens, merely expressing their views, as terrorists. The idiotic photo shoot cost taxpayers $328,835. But that doesn’t even approach the cost in fear and mental anguish when witnesses to 9/11 and survivors of it spilled into the streets thinking they might be under attack again. Figures that the clown Caldera cleaning out his desk did not bother to apologize. Obama needs to clean out the megalomaniacs on his staff.

The original photo needed no improvement.

Official Air Force 1 photo--flying over Mt Rushmore.

Obama using the flyover incident AND HIS KIDS in his “jokefest” was absolutely disgusting. You apologize for something and then snicker...Yeh, that’s Obama...again and again and again...After all....HE WON!!

OK... Who was on Scare Force One for the low level Manhattan run? No one has answered that question to my knowledge. That list of people could be very enlightening. Obama joked that his kids were on it. How about telling us who was really on it.

You start with the man in charge that is passing the buck.

Much is being said about the fly over scaring the people, but I have not seen anything about who was in the plane enjoying the ride. Was it the relatives of the president from Kenya?????

"Obama needs to clean out the megalomaniacs on his staff. "

He could start by resigning . . .

I don’t think he’s the guy that came up with the idea. I think the idea came from high enough up that he knew he couldn’t refuse it. Maybe that’s why he didn’t apologize.

The most open and transparent administration will NEVER reveal the truth about this or any other of it’s illegal activities.

They abuse power like no other administration in OUR history.

That said, they make the USSR seem open.

The key to understanding this fiasco is the red tail on the F-16, and the movie "Red Tails" now being filmed by mega-Obama fan George Lucas.

The mystery is solved. We are just waiting for the MSM to catch up. See 12.

I agree with you completely. We REALLY need to know who was on that aircraft. My hunch is that it was more a joyride than a photo shoot. The WH releasing that one picture last week was a cover-up of the real transgression.
