Good riddance, moran.

Sounds like a lot of "the dog ate my homework" in there.

OK this is stupid. They talked to the proper people in NYC who didn't pass on the message. Air Force One was supposed to retake publicity photos anyway so the money was going to be spent no matter there the flyover was.

I realize this guy apparently didn't get a memo because he was out sick but this is a whole lot of outrage over something stupid.

Meh, big ado about nothing.

It would take under an hour to make a remarkably real Photoshop of Air Force One flying past the Statue of Liberty.

The question I never hear answered is: Why, exactly, are we paying to "publicize" Air Force One?

Halfmast Trousers: It would take under an hour to make a remarkably real Photoshop of Air Force One flying past the Statue of Liberty.

But that would terrorize exactly nobody.

No YOU'RE a Towel: Meh, big ado about nothing.

Say that to people that were there on 9/11. That being said, the dumbass fell on his sword like a good minion. Well done!!

TheDumbBlonde: Say that to people that were there on 9/11

Something tells me they'd be a LITTLE more frightened if it was a USAir plane, rather than the President's personal aircraft.

Heckuva job, Caldery.

You'd think they would at least come away from this with a better photo.

Well, this sorta invalidates my post from 4 threads ago....

I blame Clinton.

RocketRod: Heckuva job, Caldery.

Exactly wrong. "Byebye Caldery". That's Change You Can Believe In. (TM)

Somebody in the White House actually took responsibility for something?


I do believe that's a change.

I'm sure they calmly grabbed binoculars & identified the markings on said aircraft, while disregarding F-16 following it.

amen

New Yorkers are such pussies. What's the big deal with a plane flying over Manhattan? Like..what's the worst that could happen?

He vows not to pay taxes? Obviously looking for a better job in the administration.

Yeh, no shiat.

Oh sweet jesus, it is Friday. I can never remember the day of the week.

But its still ok to take a publicity photo of a U-Haul truck, right?

All things considered, what would have been wrong with creating this image on a computer in the first place? If the photo was the point and not the fly-over, and it was the fly-over that bothered people and cost 300,000 bucks, then why was this even done?

It can't count as any kind of journalism of the presidency as the president was not on board at the time -meaning it was the image itself and not the moment that image captured that was the intention. We all accept the plane and the City and the Statue exist and we accept that the plane COULD fly over as depicted, so what would be the problem with just shopping this thing?

As long as it's not speeding to the Courthouse in Oklahoma City followed by a sheriff's crown vic.

Apparently wingnuts made enough noise. Way to go.

A YouTube video showed people standing in a parking lot, watching the plane approach. As it nears, they begin to run. "Run, run!" said one person. "Oh my God," cried another.

But remember - we're not living in fear. we're safe, right?

farkMcFark: You'd think they would at least come away from this with a better photo.

What's with it being so dark? And what about that reflection in the upper right?

Not pay taxes??

part of the budget fof AF1 is to build our pride in AF1 so they can increase the budget for AF1 so they can improve upon AF1 then do more photo ops for AF1 .. etc rinse and repeat ...


btw there are actually 2 , count'em 2 ... AF1's


also rarely is the questioned answered is our children learnin ?

time for an AF1 fark photoshop contest of memorable flyovers !

GD it, if i wasn't at wor.. er.. not at my own system i would PS you a memorable AF1 flyover you would never ever forget ...

New Yorkers shouldn't really have been worried anyway. As we all know, no planes struck the World Trade Center. They were holograms or missiles or something.

gorgor: APPROVES?

Damn you, Gor....

/Free Gorgor!!!

//with 2 proofs of purchase

He left early a few days because of back spasms.

But this was planned for, what, a week and a half?

FTFA, he didn't read the email correspondence informing him of the plans until after it happened.

He should indeed be resigning. Not because of the fly-over, but because he's incompetent. What the hell else was he not informed about on time because he wasn't keeping up with important correspondence?

ryant123: New Yorkers shouldn't really have been worried anyway. As we all know, no planes struck the World Trade Center. They were holograms or missiles or something.

I heard they were Jews.

Seriously, is there a theory about this event being used to promote fear that I missed ?

Harry S Truman: The Buck Stops Here

Barack H. Obama: The Buck Stops Here.

Including on those AIG bonuses. Except I didn't write those contracts and make this mess. But blame me.

And I'll take responsibility for this Air Force One photo op. Except it was some dumbass on our staff. But the buck stops here. Except it's his fault, and he's out.

This whole situation is so incredibly stupid. The only thing stupider would be people getting angry over some beauty pageant contestant opposing gay marriage.

I kinda feel bad for this guy. He sees the President and Congress waste trillions of dollars every year. Why should he think that wasting $300,000 is so wrong? Obviously the government doesn't give a shiat about how much anything costs, why should he?

letstakeawalk: What's with it being so dark? And what about that reflection in the upper right?

That looks 'shopped. I can tell by the pixels and the fact that I have no clue what I'm talking about...

We terrorized NYC and all we got was a lousy photo that is too dark and with reflections.

The photo shoot, which President Obama said he was "furious" with,

Furious? I've never seen the man more than irritated about anything.

/And whenever he looks irritated, it's at Biden.

Mordant: Seriously, is there a theory about this event being used to promote fear that I missed ?

Wingnut blogs say it was a joy ride for his daughters. It's despicable they're throwing this guy under a bus to placate teabaggers.

This whole event has further proved - as if there were any doubt - that the terrorists have won and that we are in fact a nation of cowards.

Chinchillazilla: The photo shoot, which President Obama said he was "furious" with,

He looked a bit aggitated about the those greedy investors in the Chrysler bankruptcy deal.

Are you sure it was an Air Force fly over? Are you sure it wasn't this guy?

Makes perfect sense to me. Allow a hired gun to take responsibility for the whole mess while the guy the plane belongs to makes mewling noises about how he didn't know. Perfect.

Off-topic threadshiatting?

A winterwhile badge of honor.

"And what about that reflection in the upper right?"


UFO.

TheDumbBlonde: I'm sure they calmly grabbed binoculars & identified the markings on said aircraft, while disregarding F-16 following it.

It's not as if the aircraft has a distinctive paint job that is iconic and visible from long distance or anything. No, nothing like that at all.

Farmerjohn48pan: Allow a hired gun to take responsibility for the whole mess while the guy the plane belongs to makes mewling noises about how he didn't know.

You mean him, me, you, and every other taxpayer in the US? 'Cause if he can't take it home with him after his term is up, it ain't his.

/yea, I know, trolly-feed blah-blah.

letstakeawalk: What's with it being so dark? And what about that reflection in the upper right?

It's the partially unphased observation craft of the Reptilian overlords...keeping an eye on whatever their puppet administration is doing to destroy America...

In conjunction with the reverse vampires, of course.
