If this was a photo-op, not only is it a huge waste of resources during an economic recession, but a logistic cluster fu-k as well to have a low flying plain over Manhattan with fighter jets trailing it...
Good lord what a PR mess that would be.
Even liberal New Yorkers would be giving Obama the finger over this if in fact it is true his administration was behind it.
why do you assume it's a "photo op"? just because someone spread a rumor?
oh righyt... cause you're a wingnut.
Uh....Jillian... the FAA said it was a Photo-op.
they hadn't said that at the time... and I was talking to the wingnut... who didn't need an ounce of proof before he started whining.
that said, it was pretty goofy.
