Oops

Somebody is probably going to get demoted for this. First off, it sounds like there was a communication breakdown (not the cool Led Zeppelin kind, either). That's too bad, but still an error.

What nobody seems to be asking is WHY IN THE HELL DID YOU CHOOSE NYC FOR THIS PHOTOSHOOT? Couldn't you have chosen a different city to fly really low over in a 747-type plane? Maybe, say, one that doesn't have a stigma about low flying passenger planes? Even if there was enough warning to the public.... can't we get our photo-op from a different city?

Best quote of the story: "It just scared a couple million people."

read this article this afternoon and thought the same thing. incredible stupidity and lack of thought (and empathy).

Lack of thought, yes, hmm.. would that be the government, the air force, or the photoshoot people? probably all three.

There's some late breaking news on this -- of Obama actually exiting AirForceOne after those hi-jinks. The audio is a bit garbled but it sounds like he's saying "Hey Goose, Time to buzz the tower!"

catch it on FOXNEWS tonight.
