However I am sure there are some conservatives that live / work there as well. Good thing they didn’t do it in Dallas. Someone’s probably got a shoulder held SAM in their garage mail ordered just in case of another terrorist hijacking.

I can tell you one thing. The guys flying the plane and the f-16’s probably were none-too-happy with having to do the mission.

It’s necessary, today, with all the technology available, to actually fly an Air Force One plane past the Statue of Liberty for the purpose of a photo op? Just seems unlikely to me; if that was really the reason, it’s really beyond stupid.

First, when I heard about this, I was irritated with Hussein for his (utterly typical) arrogance and insensitivity.

Then I started to smile. Then to chuckle. Because — the folks he scared the crap out of, are the folks who Voted for this creep.

Better yet, they all claim There Is No War on Terror. So why were they screaming and running in a panic from a nice little ole airliner? Fucking cowards.

Lastly: to believe the pres. [sic] of the United States doesn’t know where HIS PLANE is, is to believe anything. Of COURSE he knew about the photo op. But he has nothing but contempt and loathing for his fellow Americans (if indeed he’s one of us).

Thatisall….

Right up until the end. On the other hand, he appears to have paid his taxes. Probably an oversight.

“after telling his cabinet to trim their budgets and save 100 million what in the heck are they doing spending close to 100 K (if not more) to get a few nice pictures?”

Sure, hypocritical and absurd.

But lets add to that the cost of the jet fuel for AF1 and the F-16’s. Then there’s the hypocrisy of lecturing us all on our “carbon footprints”.

Don’t expect to be hearing anytime soon from the MSM on the equivalent number of autos needed to spew out the co2 produced during this juvenile prank.

One more episode from President Borat.
