This tells you all you need to know about this White House:
White House Official Apologizes for Air Force One Photo Op in New York City

White House Military Office Director Louis Caldera apologized for any panic caused by a flight mission and photo op that looked like Air Force One and fighter jets heading toward the New York City skyline Monday morning.

Caldera said he approved the mission last week and that federal authorities took the proper steps to notify state and local authorities in New York and New Jersey.

But for people who work in the New York financial district, the event brought back nightmares of the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks. Numerous buildings in lower Manhattan evacuated in a panic during this morning’s false alarm.

“It’s clear that the mission created confusion and disruption. I apologize and take responsibility for any distress that flight caused,” Caldera said in a White

House issued paper statement.

All these people care about is themselves, and getting good “photo op’s” to advertise themselves.

I wonder what the carbon footprint was of this genius move, oh Messiah?

And if Bush had done this he’d be crucified in the MSM by now for this. Instead, the MSM looks the other way and blames a staffer.
