Well done US government.
This could have been done by photoshop easily.

Or a model of a 747, a painting of the statue of liberty some string and a $7.00 disposable camera.

I love how the GOP representative is saying Obama should resign over it. Like it's the worst thing a recent president has done...

So they didn't think alerting anybody of this would be a good idea?
edit: To be fair, GOP guy is calling for the resignation of White House Military Office Director Louis Caldera

Caldera not Obama
Quote:

Caldera "should resign, to be quite frank," GOP consultant and former Bush administration official Bradley Blakeman told FOX News.

Pretty sad the amount of waste just to update some stock photos of Airforce One.
This whole operation probably cost U.S. taxpayers a few million easily...not to mention the lost millions in worker productivity as workers streamed out of buildings in the middle of the morning workday in panicked droves.

A few million? The fighters are already on patrol over New York and those Air Force pilots need to put in their flight hours either way. Air Force One costs about $70k per hour per hour to run.
That said it was pretty dumb move.

Where are the Green Peace Nazzis on this. Flying a 742 that low increases the amount of jet fuel spent vs the normal 35k+FL. What was his carbon footprint for that stunt. I assume he will be making the necessary restiution to the environment like planting some trees somewhere or donating money to some BS UN organization?

This is, in public relations terms, a major fiasco. From what I've read, Obama is supremely POed about it, but this could well be the first huge screw-up of his administration. What a disaster.

Will we be talking about this 'disaster' in 2 weeks? Pretty strong language... I'd say 'minor mistake' or even 'insensitive' might fit a bit better.

Bit more than minor mistake, bit less than HUGE mistake.
Somewhere in the middle, as usual.
People should be canned for making it happen though. How stupid can you possibly get?
