The other day some idiot from or within the military decided it would be a good idea to have Air Force One fly extremely low over New York City and while they were at it to have the plane followed by a jet--supposedly to do a photo op in regards to the Presidential aircraft. If I was a citizen of New York--my first thoughts would be that some other high rise building was going to be hit like the Twin Towers had been in 2001. According to the story the director of the White House Military office, Louis Caldera on Monday had official taken responsibility for the incident.
You guys will forgive me for calling this person an idiot, but what would ever make this person think this idea was a good idea to do, considering how we as Americans feel about 9/11--in regards to low-flying airplanes. So how did this story affect you or how did it make you feel about lack of respect for those families who lost loved ones in 9/11. In a time where there is a very real lack of economic security, was it especially a good idea to spend money so wastefully by a low-flying photo op with Air Force One.
In the story one person stated this "Gibbs said that the review would likely take about a week or so to complete. He said he would have to confer with White House lawyers before answering a question about whether the results would be made public." What I want to know is how you guys feel about why it necessarily needs to take a week to find out why this occurred and do you all feel that the report for the reasons should or should not be made public. Isn't this one of those cases in which our Federal Government should not be allowed to use some guise as not to report why these kinds of mistakes are made by public officials? Also, why do they need to ask an attorney if they can report such incidents to the general population especially the population of New York City, where the incident occurred?
