Stupidest administration EVER
This level of sheer stupidity is unbelievable:
White House apologizes for NYC flyover
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."
The panic started Monday morning when a backup 747 known as Air Force One when the president is aboard flew by Lower Manhattan with a U.S. fighter jet closely following, rattling windows and causing some limited evacuations.
Over the course of a half-hour starting at 10 a.m, the plane flew low over the city and near the Statue of Liberty.
The late afternoon statement came as New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg — an Obama ally so far — said he was outraged.
The buck cannot possibly stop with Caldera. It was Obama's plane and I've little doubt that he himself had to have final approval for this stupid, stupid, stupid stunt. You just don't do stuff like this with the president's plane without the president's approval.
Here's video of the panicked reaction of New Yorkers:
Thanks so much, B.O.
