Thread: Obama takes Air Force One on $50,000 sight seeing tour!

In this image taken with a cellphone by Jason McLane, the primary presidential aircraft, a Boeing 747 known as Air Force One when the president is aboard, flies low over New York Harbor, followed by an F-16 chase plane during a federal government photo op on Monday. (Jason McLane/Associated Press)

They are CALLING it a photo-op, but why would they be using AIR FORCE ONE?

This was a very expensive joy ride for someone.

Just the typical buffoonary you would expect from "Da Prez"....

Who exactly is the IDIOT who authorized this? This had to come from TOP DOWN.

Obvioulsy, the MEDIA won't ask tough questions.

The plane was being used for a JOYRIDE!

Air force 1 and fighter planes buzz New York City for photo op

Even Bush wasn't that stupid!

I would be surprised if Obama was even informed of this. Gibbs the Press Secretary when pressed on the matter didn't even seem like he was aware of the event. Someone down the chain of command did not do their job me thinks... Still this is just utterly ridiculous. Whoever planned this must have been smoking something or completely unaware of 9/11.

This was incredibly dumb. First of all, Vortex is completely right! Photoshop could have been used for this. Second of all, we are coming off of Earth Day, where we are supposed to not be wasteful, yet it is completely ok to emit greenhouse gases for a stupid photo? Photoshop would have only used the electricity necessary to create the photo's. Green age my butt!

its obvious that obama wants the US citizen to curtail their use,
but not for the federal government. they are different
