WTF ?!? - Obama administration terrorizes downtown Manhattan

A little over seven-and-a-half years ago, terrorists decided to turn commercial airliners into missiles. They successfully struck the Pentagon as well as the twin towers. There is still a giant whole in the ground where the towers once stood and the psychic wounds are still relatively fresh.

I am pretty certain that the administration probably was familiar with the event; sometime in September 2001 if memory serves. I know the boy prince is clearly a narcissist but he must have heard about it. It was on all the channels. Plus Rev. Wright brought it up; "chickens coming home to roost" -- oh right, Barry missed that sermon.

So what better city could you choose to buzz with a commercial jet (and trailing F-16 in hot pursuit dor good measure) for photo op ? That's right, a frickin photo op!!

An administration official says a presidential Boeing 747 and a fighter jet flew low near ground zero in New York City Monday because the White House Military Office wanted to update its file photo of the president's plane near the Statue of Liberty.

This official said the White House Military Office told the Federal Aviation Administration that it periodically updates file photos of Air Force One near national landmarks, like the statute in New York harbor and the Grand Canyon.

Updating file photos !!! Couldn't possibly make do with the old ones; who knows maybe Bush was on the plane in some. That would be beyond the pale.

The result -- thousands fleeing in panic.

Workers in lower Manhattan were stunned by what they saw.

John Leitner, a floor trader at the New York Mercantile Exchange Building, said about 1,000 people "went into a total panic" and ran out of the building around 10 a.m. after seeing the planes whiz nearby.

"We were informed after we cleared out of there," Leitner said. "I kind of think heads should roll a little bit on that."

Schumer: "No need to scare'
Employees of the Wall Street Journal also left their desks to see what was going on.

Kathleen Seagriff, a staff assistant, said workers heard the roar of the engines and then saw the planes from their windows.

"They went down the Hudson, turned around and came back by the building," she said. "It was a scary scene, especially for those of us who were there on 9/11."

Maybe NYers are a little over-sensitive. You can judge for yourself with the video below but I am pretty sure I would have been a little "anxious":




And, in typical Obama style, HE is not responsible. But he is pretty steamed. In fact, he's "furious".Not with himself of course. These thing that his administration does are not his fault. He's too busy being President to be responsible even if his own White House approved it. He's too cool, too hip, to unflappable to be responsible.

But all's well that ends well. Barry got his pretty pictures.
