Heard Obama's statement this morning on the radio. His anger came through. I was actually impressed by that.

That said it was pretty dumb move.

Apparently the cost was $328,835:

Somewhere in the middle, as usual.

People should be canned for making it happen though. How stupid can you possibly get?

Splitting hairs huh? It was a 'medium mistake'?

This will blow over in days, if not hours. Might even be 'inconsequential'. A few New Yorkers got unerstandably upset, fair enough. The good news is, the plane didn't kill anyone... life goes on.
