Release the Video

[Liberty's Teeth]

If Air Force One was truly on a "photo shoot" where is the video? Why would a F-16 be the "camera plane"? As far as I know there are NO provisions to make an F-16 a camera plane. Why would the F-16 be flying on the inside of the turn in the video? It would have to be on the outside of AF1 to get a shot of the plane and New York. WTF is going on here?

Who is in control of our country?

I'm sure that there will be more to this story to come.

Don't they know that when you tell one lie you have to tell another one to cover the first one up?

Couple of possibilities!

Some questions on the AF One overfly

Eric Florack
[FONT=times new roman,times]Some questions on the AF One overfly [/FONT]

• [FONT=times new roman,times]Why would anyone suddenly want photos or video of Air Force One circling the Statue of Liberty? [/FONT]

[FONT=times new roman,times]The obvious answer that leaps to mind is a political/promotional effort, surrounding the televised special Mr. Obama has asked for time to air, in marking his first 100 days. [/FONT]




[FONT=times new roman,times]If this is true. I bet that footage never gets used.[/FONT]

• [FONT=times new roman,times]Since the New York City area is Democrat-dominated, I can't help but wonder, "How many New York liberals got caught up in those events of yesterday?"[/FONT]

[FONT=times new roman,times]I can't help but think that they were feeling pretty good about themselves... and confident enough in America's security that they voted for Barrack Obama... someone who clearly doesn't have much use for the military solution... or the military itself for that matter. I can't help but wonder how many were having second thoughts, yesterday as they ran from those planes, in response to their survival instincts? I wonder what Obama's approval ratings would be now?[/FONT]




[FONT=times new roman,times]Whatever else might be said about this event, it has revealed to us once again the degree to which 9/11 is still on the minds of Americans, and the degree to which there is a disconnect on those matters between the American people and the White House. Those people who were running from those planes, openly sobbing by some reports, people who were desperately trying to get out of high rise buildings so as not to become victims, still have those events are still very much in their minds on a level that the current occupants of the White House cannot possibly understand, much less claim. [/FONT]




[FONT=times new roman,times]I don't think it overstepping to suggest that lack of understanding will cost the Democrats dearly in the next couple of elections, even assuming[/FONT] that in that time frame, we don't come under actual attack again, as we did on 9/11.

Fly By Farce Theory (updated)

Clarice Feldman

<B>[FONT=times new roman,times]JOM poster Mustang has a plausible theory on the fly-by over Manhattan yesterday: that it was to aid in the production of a film Red Tail about the Tuskegee Airman called Red Tail. Tom Maguire [/FONT][FONT=times new roman,times]details[/FONT][FONT=times new roman,times] it:[/FONT]

[FONT=times new roman,times]This is [/FONT][FONT=times new roman,times]an interesting theory[/FONT][FONT=times new roman,times] about yesterdays fly-by of Manhattan - they were putting together some footage which would be useful to [/FONT][FONT=times new roman,times]George Lucas'[/FONT][FONT=times new roman,times] upcoming film about the Tuskegee Airmen of WWII, known as the Red Tails.[/FONT]
​

</B>

[FONT=times new roman,times]Well - this will never be admitted. And the red-tailed photo of the trailing fighter may just be a trick of the light. And Manhattan is a long way from Alabama, so why would it make any sense in the movie (where I assume it would be part of some epilogue saluting the proud legacy of the WWII heroes) to have a Red Tail escorting Air Force One? On the other hand, some cinematic post script linking the current office holder with the men who blazed his trail would not exactly be unheard of as a Hollywood ending. And Manhattan has got to be more visually interesting that the backwoods of Alabama. (Apparently there was also a similar strafing scheduled for Washington DC which has been scrapped.)[/FONT]

[FONT=times new roman,times]But even though we all know the White House and Pentagon will deny it, I wonder if some reporter will ask? They just might - NYC is the media capital of the world. And besides, the Buck Stops Elsewhere; [/FONT][FONT=times new roman,times]Obama is blameless[/FONT][FONT=times new roman,times] in this.[/FONT]

[FONT=times new roman,times]Oh, well - WH press flack Robert Gibbs will play both outraged and dumb and the questioning will move on. [/FONT]
​

[FONT=times new roman,times]Seriously, what other "photo op" except an adventure film could this have been for. And if the theory is right, was it worth scaring New Yorkers? How much did we pay for this Obama promotion--because surely the film will end with him flying victoriously in that plane followed by a fighter plane from Alabama?[/FONT]

[FONT=times new roman,times]Updazte from Rosslyn Smith:[/FONT]

[FONT=times new roman,times]If the Air Force One fly by was done to create a scene for a George Lucas movie, call it another example of the Chicago Way comes to Washington DC. [/FONT]

[FONT=times new roman,times]Back in August 1996 when I was living in a condo on the Chicago lakefront I was jarred awake around midnight by what sounded like several explosions. As I listened more closely I could discern that it was fireworks, probably over Grant Park. Firework displays happen almost weekly along the lakefront in the summer, so the sound becomes quite familiar. But after midnight and on a weeknight? The Democrat National Convention was in town, but still, it was after midnight for Pete's sake! Who were the idiots setting off fireworks at midnight? [/FONT]

[FONT=times new roman,times]I had my answer in the gossip column of the next morning's paper. It seems that JFK, Jr. wanted to end his gala for George magazine being held at the Art Institute of Chicago with a fireworks display, Of course, like all events held in conjunction with a national political convention, the party had to start "after the session" which usually meant 10:45 to 11:00. There were also the countless residential high rise buildings that had sprouted up in recent years within a mile to a mile and a half of the park. But JFK Jr. was ... the head of a directionless magazine who had an important father? Whatever. He was not to be denied no matter what the city noise ordinances and common courtesy might say. Since the Daley administration saw no problem with thousands of taxpayers loosing sleep so members of the political class might be amused, it would come as no surprise to me if it turns out the Daley people staffing the White House didn't think twice over scaring the crap out of a lot of New Yorkers for a campaign ad disguised as the postscript to a movie.

Photo-Op?? Haven't they every heard of Photoshop? Seriously.

1- 747 Flying from DC to New York burning 3,500 gallons of jet fuel per hour.

1- F-16 Flying from DC to New York burning 1,900 gallons of jet fuel per hour assuming he didn't light the burners.

How much did that cost?...Oh, wait, I forgot. Barry just cut the office supplies budget by 100 million. Pens and pencils and I guess that means computer programs as well. That's why we didn't buy Photoshop to superimpose Air Force One in front of the NY skyline. People, we actually got a deal on this one. You see, Barry cut the office supplies budget saving us $100 million. Since we can no longer go to Office Max and pick up Photoshop (because we saved $100 million) we had to take AF1 up for a little photo.

That little trip in AF1 only cost us a few hundred thousand.

So in reality, Barry truly saved us about $99,500,000 and some change by ordering the photo shoot.

Boy am I stupid.
