Fly Over of Ground Zero
Ok. We must have a rookie in the white house. Who else would authorize a fly over of ground zero with a Boeing 747 being chased by an F-16. Don’t tell me Obama had no knowledge of this. Everyone else is always the scapegoat, but never Obama. This was reckless. The answer provided was that a file photo had to be updated. What??? A file photo? This is ridiculous. Think of the money spent, the CARBON FOOTPRINT, when this photo could have been photo shopped. This is the most ridiculous, absurd move of any administration. This just shows what a rookie Obama and his administration is. Why do they need a picture like this??? I guess it is for some future propaganda.
From HotAir:
From The Hill, the cost of this stunt in order to replace a file photo:
It reads in part: “This report assumes that flight operating costs are $56,518 per hour for Air Force One and $14,552 per hour for Air Force Two. These figures are based on the perhour cost figures cited by GAO for fiscal year 2000, adjusted for inflation.”
Essentially this photo cost at least $15,000. Wow what smart action and spending by Obama. Sadly all the Obamabots like drones will believe he didn’t know about this stunt.
Seems Obama has gotten furious over several things under his control. Maybe he ought to learn more about what’s going on around him instead of trying to run the companyies of this country.
This was not Air Force 1, It was one of the two planes at the disposal of the President of the United States. Air Force 1 is a designated call sign of the plane that the President is currently on. If he is not on the plane it is simply a 747 modified with its signal numbers/tail numbers like all other planes.
