You think they would have told the public about this in advance :doh:

Damn, that's not good. A lot of people have got to be extremely pissed, yet relieved. Pretty damn insensitive to not notify the public.

Maybe they don't want to scare the public! If you think about it.

If you think about it, hell even if you don't, they DID scare the public! The only reason not to notify would be because of security reasons, they could've said that they'd be staging an escorted jet for photo opps, they didn't have to mention it being an air force one, the reason for it, whatever, just that it'd happen.

Looking at the video and picks the first thing that comes to my mind is how much it looks like 9/11.

seeing a Jumbo jet tailed by a fighter would be a scary sight over any city, doing it over NYC is really careless.

slightly off topic, that video over the statue of liberty made me wonder how many ways that video could be edited for conspiracy theorists

Careless was forgetting to inform the public and I'd like to know what the photo opt was for.

That is what I meant, although I saw a Jumbo take off from BWI about a year ago, and 2 fighters came swooping up and took position to either side. I have no idea what that was about, but it shocked my senses at first.

Incredibly stupid move. A selfish photo shoot by a "celebrity" President who has bigger things to deal with than sending NYC into a panic. From giving the British PM a gift of 25 classic American movies in the wrong DVD format and returning a Churchill statue that was a gift after 09/11 to his teleprompter mishap and this idiotic move, he's making the Office of the Presidency a joke.

I knew he had no real executive experience, but c'mon, have a little common sense, Mr. President.

This teleprompter thing is getting old, clearly you're still bitter about having voted in a guy into office for 8 years who could barely speak or read English. Obama gives a speech almost every day it seems and if you're expecting him to remember 20+ min of speech you're absolutely retarded. Sigh, thinking is probably not your forte Buster, perhaps it's time to quite life?
