Scare Force 1 Tells 100 Day Tale

The first 100 days of the Obama administration was marked today. In trying to come up with a list demonstrating how horrendous I feel his tenure has begun, I thought it best to use a real life incident to illustrate the point.

Get a look at what happened in Manhattan the other day:



What you saw were panic stricken New Yorkers running for hills in lower Manhattan as a jumbo jet, in this case Air Force 1, escorted by an F-16 fighter jet, doing a low altitude fly by of the once proud financial capital of the world.

They thought it was another terrorist attack, and can you blame them? Take another view of the fly by from over ground zero looking across the Cesar Peli towers and the Hudson River.



No terrorists. No, just an ordered photo shoot for President Obama. Obama ducked any responsibility and called the episode a mistake. You think?

This whole thing in my mind underscores that our Commander in Teleprompter has no command of the values and sensitivities of this great land, nor any fricking clue about the Global War on Terror and the wounds still present with most Americans, particularly those working in lower Manhattan. Maybe he was demonstrating he is now in charge down on Wall & Broad, as pathetic as that is.

I think about 9-11 just about every day, and am appalled at the mindset of the Obama administration taking steps to put the United States back on September 10 footing. But beyond the politics of fighting terrorists, my second grade child could have figured out this flyover was insensitive and something that should not be done.

Photoshop anyone? What a bunch of morons! At a minimum, how about picking up the dry cleaning tab!

And at a time when global warming, or cooling, or whatever is at the forefront of media and administration attention, you might think a country teetering on bankruptcy with a leader who chastises corporate executives for private plane usage would refrain from spending an estimated $300K and an astonishing carbon footprint for such a unnecessary action. Thankfully the DC flyover has been cancelled.

It is all about Obama folks. Actions speak louder than words, and it is obvious to me that Mr. Obama cares very little about average Americans and even less about the Global War on Terror as evidenced by this idiotic move.

And for the love of Pete, if George W. Bush would have done this, the world would be on fire. You did not have to worry about that though; Bush operates daily with class, something seemingly missing in the Obama world.
