Oh, we're well aware of the lengths that Obama goes to for a photo op.Oh yes......photo-ops......something that no ever president has ever done. [/sarcasm]White Bread: Remember when Air Force One buzzed downtown NY and scared the hell out of New Yorkers just to get a photo for Obama's PR?Yes I do. I lived in NYC during 9/11 and when that happened.It was a bone-headed move.Do you think that presidents plan their own photo-ops?President Obama's White House was forced to issue an apology Monday after a photo opportunity gone wrong -- an Air Force 747 plane did a low flyover lower Manhattan, prompting terrified citizens to flee from their offices and high-profile accusations of government insensitivity. White House Military Office director Louis Caldera issued a brief statement."Last week, I approved a mission over New York. I take responsibility for that decision," he said. "While federal authorities took the proper steps to notify state and local authorities in New York and New Jersey, its clear that the mission created confusion and disruption. I apologize and take responsibility for any distress that flight caused."Link
