Team Obama scores another hit and provides yet another example of why they are not fit to lead this country.

Displaying an almost unbelievable lack of awareness, sensitivity, and total lack of respect for the people of New York, the White House yesterday dispatched Air Force One, along with a fighter jet escort, to the skies over Manhattan for – are you ready for this – a photo op.

Yes, you read that right. A photo op.

I mean, how stupid can they be?

Some idiots in the white house actually thought it would be a good idea to send a low-flying jumbo jet to the scene of the worst attack ever on American soil in order to take some pictures. It gets better though – they did so without notifying either the Mayor or the people of New York City.

As you can well imagine, panic ensued.

New York Times reports:

Robert Gibbs, the White House press secretary, said Monday afternoon that he was unaware of the flyover. At his daily press briefing, Mr. Gibbs initially referred questions to the F.A.A. and the Air Force. When told that those government offices were referring questions to the White House, Mr. Gibbs said: β€œI have no information on this other than what I saw.”

Mr. Gibbs, pressed by reporters, said he had seen news reports of the flyover, but declared: β€œI was working on other things. You might be surprised to know that I don’t know every movement of Air Force One.” Later, he added that he would look into the matter.

Here’s a video of the planes, with people running for their lives in the foreground.

While it is unclear as of this writing who, specifically, authorized the flight, the White House has accepted responsibility for the incident.
