Politics, Foreign Policy, Current Events and Occasional Outbursts Lacking Couth

You have to question the judgment of whomever it was that decided a low fly by over NYC for a photo op was a good idea.

Yeah well, I'd pee in my pants if I had to live in New York city durin' that awful period back in '01...

Funny, in an odd sort of way. Though I can understand the fear people would have for a low flying airliner followed by a fighter plane. I wonder if it hit anybody on Air Force 1 that they generated an 'oh shit' moment down below.

The O has essentially apologized for it today, saying that "it shouldn't have happened." You really have to wonder just how patently ignorant or unaware one would have to be to not consider the obvious historical context a low flying 747 headed for manhatten might bring back for the poor bastards on the ground.

340 thousand in city fees and the threat of a stampede and its attendent deaths is a worthy price to pay for updating Obama's photo collections.

At least, that's what Americans voted for and that is certainly what they are getting.

People said McCain was too old and not up with the times. That may have been true. What was also true is that the American people have not been sufficiently trained to resist psychological warfare operations, and thus they bought into the con man program of the Obama.

That's what happens when a population has little to no resistance against asymmetrical warfare methods, propaganda, psychological warfare, or emotional manipulation.

Speaking of psychological warfare, my AF1 footage has been spirited away and replaced with an Eminem video. Which is odd in that I'm a huge fan of not being, even remotely, a fan of Eminem.

Y, your lending a remarkable amount of ability to the president's campaign, aren't you?
