I am still not sure why this was "confidential". There were no
important people on the plane they were protecting. Why not make a PR
thing out of it, like the Blue Angels.
If people knew they were coming they could have got good press out of
this instead of making fools out of themselves. *
I can see why Obama was ****ed.
In another administration there might have been criticism about who is
in charge here.


No. Really? You mean, like, if Bush were in charge there would be some
criticism of the President by Brian Williams or Keith?

Do you mean like blaming Obama for the economy debacle that happened
under Bush's watch? By the way, you do realize that there are signs
that Obama's recovery plans are working, don't you?


No, we're talking about airplanes and New York. The recovery is
working, but has to do with capitalism, not Obama's socialism. Obama's
'fixes' are simply a ruse to get the government bigger and raise
taxes.


How do you know that?

What about the deal you presented yesterday? I responded, but you
became mum.

Odd. Herr Krause hasn't offered to tell how this was totally justified.


And to think, this happened under Your President elect's watch. Does
that mean that he is to be blamed? The papers say that When he heard
of this, your President was "furious!"

"Furious?"

Why should he be upset, when his underlings were only wishing to put
his transport in a photo opportunity and to scare people while
wasting a healthy load of your tax money.

Your former president Bush caught hell for far less to the point that
it seemed fashionable to fault him for everything wrong in ones life.
Just ask Herr Krause.

But Herr Krause will justify this action somehow. Yea, because the
newly elected American El Supremo can do no wrong.


Oh yeah, our former president caught hell for wasting trillions in
borrowed money to fight an ill-conceived war in order to engage in
nation building.

The Pentagon, the CIA, the press and American goosesteppers were all
aligned.

You're going to blame this on Obama? You think he personally ordered
the photo op and told folks not to inform NYers?

Sheesh, grasping at straws has become a national past time for
"conservatives."

Geeze, why do you think this new "open administration" has refused to
reveal the "guest list" for the flyover, could it have been more pay
for play Chicago politics and paybacks?

How do you know who was on the plane? The admin. has refused to
disclose the manifest... Sounds to me like somebody got a govt funded
guided tour, maybe the head of GE or ACORN?

I'm not blinded by Brian Williams and the other guys who gave Obama
more news coverage than Clinton and Bush combined got in their first
100 days.

What was the carbon footprint of this photo-op?

stupidity, at the cost of the American cheque payer.

"The estimated cost for all three aircraft was $328,835, Air Force
spokeswoman Vicki Stein said in an e-mailed response to inquiries.

That includes $300,658 for the VC-25, which flew a three- hour
mission, and about $28,178 for the F-16 jets, which flew 1.8 hours
each, Stein said.

The total includes fuel used in flight, fuel needed to power ground
equipment that helped prepare the aircraft, and ground maintenance,
Stein said. The flights were a training mission and “the hours would
have been flown regardless,” she said. "

I wonder how they calculate those figures.

But she said "the hours would have been flown regardless"

????

does that mean the plane[s] would have routinely flown on that day
anyhow?

???
