Truckers' Trucking Forum/Message Board - The Premiere Truck Driver Forum

Politics Do Not Pass/Pass With Care. Today's truckers are far more educated and cognizant of the issues regarding politics due to the sharp increase in talk radio, and various trucking news media sources. Talk politics. Do truckers like politicians?

White House apologizes for Obama plane's NY flyover
Quote:
WASHINGTON (AFP) – The White House apologized Monday after one of Barack Obama's presidential planes flew alarmingly low over New York city, sending residents into a panic and triggering fears of a new 9/11.
"While federal authorities took the proper steps to notify state and local authorities in New York and New Jersey, it's clear that the mission created confusion and disruption," said Louis Caldera, director of the White House military office.
"I apologize and take responsibility for any distress that flight caused," he said in a statement, adding that he approved the mission over New York -- described by other officials as a photo opportunity -- last week.
"I take responsibility for that decision," he added.
The mea culpa could be seen as extraordinary, given the infrequency of public statements by the White House military office and the bluntness of the apology over the bungle.

A livid New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg said he had not been warned and called the lack of notice "ridiculous and poor judgment."
Really? Poor judgement from "the one"? Or his "followers"? Or those he "tells"? How can that be?

I guess putiing pants on one leg at a time is more difficult than previously "thought".

Here is what I don't get, if I'm right the plane was empty other then the flight crew. So why in the world fly over NY, anyway? When were talking about saving fuel this sounds like the perfect waste of fuel..

I'd like to know why Officials were told not release information about the flights to the public or the press, especially if Obama wasn't even on the plane. To frighten people on purpose?


interesting...

Caldera came to the White House from IndyMac, where he served on the board of directors from 2002 until the bank was seized by the feds last year.

Caldera serves on Indy-Mac's corporate governance committee
IndyMac is under investigation for fraud.

The Obama transition team left Caldera's IndyMac service off the press release announcing his appointment.

Is it too soon to change the CIC title to idiot in chief? Certainly seems more fitting.


Ya-know the lefties like to tell us that Bush was a global embarrassment to the USA. I'm wondering exactly who is the bigger embarrassment?????????????????????????????

Obama I forget to tell my LARGEST city that lost 3000+ people and 2 Buil;dings that I am flying my spare plane and 2 fighters overhead so I can get a PHOTO OP done for a CALANDER. Lets see here at least Bush was flying out to give a Speech on the Carrier this PLANE WAS FREAKING EMPTIER THAN OBAMAS HEAD is.
