But of course when The Kenyan had AF1 buzz Manhattan, that was OK.
I don’t remember that picture.
I don’t recall that picture. Maybe it was just a big deal in the minds of liberals.
Haters gonna hate.
The photo was probably Karl “Tokyo” Rove’s idea.
I may have to cancel the order I placed for his book if it is filled with this mea culpa crap! W has become convinced of the propaganda the DBM headed on him all those years. The photo was fine. It was all the lies that went with it. Do you hear Bambi crying about all the shots on the golf course while the Gulf had the oil spill? No! As Dan Reeves once said (in a deodorant commercial), “Don’t let them see you sweat.”
“Let’s get to the picture that we may have seen more of you in the last couple years of your presidency than any other picture,” Lauer said
This is my first time seeing it since Katrina, and I vaguely remember seeing it then...
Bush’s swift and comprehensive response to Katrina prevented no less than 9,000 deaths in New Orleans and hundreds more throughout the coast.
We are mislead by a nation of conservative haters.
I don’t remember the picture either, but apparently it was an issue because he didn’t land and meet people on the ground.
j...and so was renaming the original operation in Iraq from “Infinite Justice” to some other politically correct term. We should have really taken care of the sand monkeys Infintely in one single action.
Personally I don’t see what’s the problem with this.
However, I do have a problem with obummer’s use of a photo-op with AF-1 circling the statue of liberty for no other reason.
Oh, lest not forget the current misuse of taxpayer property. BOTH AF-1, 3 Marine one helo’s, 34 warships, 3000 SS agents, etc. for a trip to.........INDIA! WTF?
A President wanting a birds eye view of the scale of a huge disaster is NOT unwarranted.
U.S. Air Force One aircraft and another plane from his entourage are parked after the arrival of President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama, as Indians spend time in an impoverished area of Mumbai, India, Saturday, Nov. 6, 2010. Obama arrived in India on Saturday, beginning a 10-day, four-country tour of Asia that will take him through some of the region’s most vibrant democracies in search of U.S. economic and security benefits.

Sadly he continues to allow the msm to define him.
Well I don’t think it was a mistake..He at least cared to go..Obama is never around for any of the disasters including the one that happened the other day when his clown congress got the pants beat off them..He took a trip a few days later so he can get a vacation in before he is replaced..I am sure his trips will get more and more since he now his filthy butt will be gone in two years..
No matter what our president Bush did it was never right according to the filthy democrats and the filthy media..
No! His big mistake was abandoning conservative principles, and that happened long before this photo was taken.
Bush's "huge mistake" was not explaining the consequences of THIS photo to the American public.
Bush's problem was that Bush simply refused to defend himself.
Why??
My remembrance of Bush and Katrina; was Bush taking the unusual step of getting on national television telling people to get the heck out of the way before it hit.
This was after local officials didn't seem to recognize the danger and were slow to act.
Your huge mistake in Katrina was to appoint You still don't understand do you, George.
a incompetent political HACK as head of FEMA.
Why is this a bad photo? Would the left rather he had the shades closed and be watching “Three Stooges” on the inflight video?
Obama goes on a USELESS trip to India (and a Muslim convention!) at a cost of over $200 million while we have 17% unemployment, and Bush gets crucified for a simple shot of him looking out the window?
This is so stupid I can’t believe it.
The lefties would hate Bush no matter what he did or didn’t do. They always will hate him. They still hate Reagan.
—rational people would prefer that presidents, etc., keep their distance from disasters, along with the entourage that has to accompany them, letting the rescue effort take place , then at some future date have a memorial ceremony for the victims and a rewards ceremony for the rescuers-—although some of the press and the other types of simpleton seem to think that the President should be there filling sandbags-—
