Air Force One Runner Up Buzzes NYC Towers & Statue Of Liberty

Obama’s “crew” approved this. NY’s Mayor Bloomberg was not amused.

President Obama’s White House was forced to issue an apology Monday after a photo opportunity gone badly wrong — an Air Force 747 plane did a low flyover over Lower Manhattan, prompting terrified citizens to flee from their offices and high-profile accusations of government insensitivity in the post 9/11 era.

White House Military Office Director Louis Caldera issued a brief statement saying he was too blame.

“Last week, I approved a mission over New York. I take responsibility for that decision,” he said. “While federal authorities took the proper steps to notify state and local authorities in New York and New Jersey, its clear that the mission created confusion and disruption. I apologize and take responsibility for any distress that flight caused.”

Probably won’t be seein’ it much on ABC, CBS & NBC — FOX will run it non-stop! At least ol’ Barry was a bit peeved off.

Heh!

    What kind of moron gets the idea into his head that flying a jumbo jet through Manhattan with a fighter jet in pursuit is the sort of thing to NOT tell the public you’re gonna do?

    They could have sparked a panic that resulted in fatalities (traffic accidents, heart attacks, people falling down the stairs in a rush to evacuate a building).
