The worst photo op of the century

This is an article from the New York Times, about the Air Force One flyover of New York City.


I am still trying to close my jaw. I am so shocked that I can't keep my mouth closed!! WHY WOULD ANYONE THINK THIS WOULD BE A GOOD IDEA???????????

This "administration", because you know it ain't HIS fault, has got to be full of the absolute craziest humans on the planet. I am beginning to think that in order to fill what little positions he has, Obama went to all the state mental hospitals and pulled people that "looked" normal, but obviously have some major mental impairments.

When my mother first called me this morning, to tell me about this, because, frankly, I have been avoiding the news lately for fear of having a stroke, I couldn't believe it. My first thought, due to my "love of money" nature, was how many taxpayers dollars did he waste in order to do something this ridiculous? WHY WOULD IT OCCUR TO ANYONE TO DO THIS??? DO THEY LAY AWAKE IN BED AT NIGHT AND THINK, WHAT OTHER CRAZY STUFF CAN WE PULL TOMORROW????? Sorry.....back to my post... My second thought was, HOW DARE HE OR ANY OTHER LIB TALK ABOUT MY CARBON FOOTPRINT EVER AGAIN!!!!! The amount of gasoline and "crap" (for lack of a better technical term) that comes out of planes is huge! And not only did they use Air Force One, but also two fighter jets, for a total of THREE planes to harm their own "precious" environment!!!!
Then, I thought about 9/11. All of those people that this administration scared to death, just for their "photo op". WHY would you need to put THESE planes in THAT air space, just for a photo op??????????? Is there no one in the Obama Administration that is capable of using Photo shop??? There was absolutely no need to do ANY of this!! This could have been done all on computers, which, if I am correct, do very little to harm the environment unless you dump them in a landfill. And then all those people in NYC would not have had to evacuated their buildings, thinking in their minds, with GOOD REASON, that they were going to die!!!

This is absolutely one of the dumbest and most asinine things I have seen anyone ever do. I have also never seen such a stupid President and such a stupid cabinet-NONE of them "claim" to know anything about anything that ever happens! Napolitano had no idea of what was in the RightWing extremest report that came from her office, Obama had no idea that this "flyover" was going to happen-----you know, I just don't even know what to say anymore. I am so sickened and angry. Is this Obama's version of shock and awe? My jaw is still hanging open.

Obama is the arrogant one

Fascism
a. A system of government marked by centralization of authority under a dictator, stringent socioeconomic controls, suppression of the opposition through terror and censorship, and typically a policy of belligerent nationalism and racism


While speaking this week, in Strasbourg, to teenagers from Germany and France (many of whom, IF they were actually AMERICAN citizens, couldn't even vote), Obama said the following"
"In America, there is a failure to appreciate Europe's leading role in the world.
"Instead of celebrating your dynamic union and seeking to partner with you to meet common challenges, there have been times where America has shown arrogance and been dismissive, even derisive."
He then balanced this striking admission with a tough message to Europeans that blaming America and using its actions as an excuse to avoid tackling the global Islamist threat was unacceptable.
"But in Europe, there is an anti-Americanism that is at once casual, but can also be insidious. Instead of recognising the good that America so often does in the world, there have been times where Europeans choose to blame America for much of what is bad."

When I heard him utter these words this morning on the news, the word treason came to mind. How dare he call himself the president of our country, when he is obviously so ashamed by it? When he vocally states that America is not great, that we are just arrogant, he is telling the world that we need to change. That we need to be knocked off our pedestal, so to speak. Apparently he shares his wife's view of our great country. Neither one of them are proud to be Americans. He does not value our Constitution, or he would not be trying to change it. He does not value our Capitalism, or he would not be trying to end it. He does not value our freedom, or he would not be helping the terrorists by making friends with the enemy. He is making us look like fools.

The dictionary defines Treason as this:
1. Violation of allegiance toward one's country or sovereign, especially the betrayal of one's country by waging war against it or by consciously and purposely acting to aid its enemies.

2. A betrayal of trust or confidence.

I think Obama has effectively demonstrated both of these definitions. He should be impeached immediately. Every day he goes a bit further towards not only socialism, but fascism. He continues to gain control over large parts of our capitalist economy, while telling us all we are too inept to run our lives ourselves.
