POTUS on AF1 incident: 'Mistake ... Won't Happen Again'

Jake,

So far, the Obama Administration has offered absolutely no credible explanation whatsoever of why the flight was scheduled and taken in the first place.

Their "updating" of the photo file story is so risible that it makes any thinking person wonder what the real story could possibly have been!

It simply had to be some reason that they don't dare allow out. Nobody allows AF-1 out of the hangar and on a flight to circle NYC unless there is a VERY GOOD reason for it.

Though we have no solid information on what that reason was, due to the fact that the Administration has officially clammed up about it, the natural explanation is to speculate about it.

To me, the "joyride" theory is really the one that makes the most sense . . . kind of like Obama's version of the Clinton's Lincoln Bedroom sleep-over incidents.

Is it possible that several of his biggest supporters and /or contributors (e.g., bundlers) were given such a ride, as a reward for their help in the campaign? Or even worse, that they in some manner were using the flight to raise additional funds?

If so, it will eventually come out -- One or more of them will boast to a relative, or spouse. Or some staffer who was offended by the action will out them to a reporter. And if so, my guess would be that the firestorm of bad publicity would then cripple his credibility.

What possible legitimate purpose could there have been for that flight?

What really happened was that the Air Force ONE was chasing a UFO.The hope was to land the craft and negotiate with the aliens our national debt. The so called aliens belong to a planet called .YES WE CAN. Of course our Government could not explained this bizarre saga to all those scared newyorkers. Maybe Spielberg can work on it. Hollywood is always ready.

President Obama, Nancy Pelosi who is 3rd high level position, Hillary of SDS,
Janet Napolitano of Dept. of Home Land HLD have a common fact that had never ever serviced any militaries units in USA. All of them have contributed for White House to become Training Center by a lots of their mistakes for 100 days. Can we trust them to protect American citizens from Terrorists in abroad or
domestic ?

Very interesting = in a two minute take on Charles Gibson last night he mentioned about the planes in NY. He was protecting Obama. Of course, Obama knew about this = there is just something wrong with this man, the teleprompter, he has attention deficit disorder, he cannot talk without it being in front of him. You call this intelligence, I call this stupidity. We are just beginning to see== we will all be deceived before these next years are over with. What is he?

tom | Apr 28, 2009 6:31:43 PM....You still call them MSM? I call the OPC -Obama press corp.

This is the soup de jour for Republicans ,i.e. squabbling over nothing. Nice ,love it when they form a circular firing squad bi-weekly or so.

Here's something nice and cogent for you Republicans to munch on...a Republican senator for 40+ years just quit your side and joined us Democrats (something about Republicans not being electable ...)

Anyway, after the Franken vote is eventually settled in his favor once and for all ,we liberals will deal your party the final death knell. Say your political prayers ,your time is just about up.

Adios amigos!

TORN - THIS EVENT WOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED UNDER PRES. BUSH.

Oh look! There's Distraction Dog and Teleprompter playing in the Whitehouse yard. That should take some of the heat off.

if this had happen under gwb...the msm would have trotted out 911 family members and have them crying on tv about the fear and
pelosi would be screaming impeachment.

but since its obama, just another gaffe by the telepromter prez.

AT LEAST OBAMA IS CONSISTENT - AS IN HIS ADULT LIFE, HIS JUDGMENT IN THIS MATTER HAS BEEN AWFUL. HIS DENIAL OF THIS AFFAIR IS PROBABLY BOGUS. MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT FOR SECURITY REASONS, THE PRESIDENT IS ALWAYS KEPT INFORMED RE. STATUS AND LOCATION OF BOTH HIS FIXED WING AIRCRAFT. THIS MAN IS NOT QUALIFIED TO LEAD ANYTHING. THE AMERICAN PEOPLE GOT SUCKERED IN TO VOTING FOR THIS INCOMPETENT. I HOPE THAT THE USA SURVIVES THIS NIGHTMARE.

All in the name of Obama's Cult of Personality....

In a memo obtained by CBS 2 HD the FAA's James Johnston said the agency was aware of "the possibility of public concern regarding DOD (Department of Defense) aircraft flying at low altitudes" in an around New York City. But they DEMANDED TOTAL SECRECY from the NYPD, the Secret Service, the FBI and even the mayor's office and THREATENED FEDERAL SANCTIONS if the secret got out.

Hi again, Silky, how was nap time?

"Bonehead" was Ryan's word, not mine. Besides, did you forget that Obama's unmanned drones in Pakistan killed dozens of civilians? Sure, not Americans, but our civilians are "worth" more than they are, right?

Your president is up to shenanigans whether you know it or not. This situation is a smokescreen.

Hey Lin, when one of these "boneheads" resonds to a terrorist attack on Obama's watch by invading a totally unrelated country, based on totally manipulated "intelligence", resulting in the deaths of 4,000+ U.S. military and 100,000+, then you'll have a leg to stand on regarding the abilities of those in his administration and the judgment of those who voted him in to office. Or even 1 unnecessary U.S. fatality on his watch, for that matter.

Ryan, I made a mistake, I didn't a lie. Guess I was confusing this bonehead with the other unqualified boneheads on the payroll.

You are entirely right: he's not part of the campaign fiasco, he's part of the bailout fiasco: "Caldera served on the board of directors for IndyMac Bank from 2002 until its failure and subsequent seizure by the government in July 2008."

My bad, and thank you for pointing it out.

Obama has no control over his staff.
Expect more of these blunders since there are no consequences.

No names or specifics about who was on the plane until after the 100 day hoopla. He is a star you know?

MNM (3:33P) oblabla did this today, what will it be tomorrow? This AM
heard that we will have a healthcare
plan in the next 48 hours. We are
looking and listening at the wrong
things while they hornswaggle us with
more bs that nobody read. He wants it
so just pass it...we will have to live with it.

It is unbelievable but true. Obama wants everything done for his 100 day celebration, and we will pay and pay for generations to come.

He actually GAVE 40% of GM and 55% of Chrysler to the Unions.

Biden wasn't joking when he told the union party in florida "you dance with the one that brung you, you want unions, you got unions"

The right to a lawyer according to Obama has "meager benefits" thankfully the right to remain silent they still support. BIG DEAL.

He is altering this country in a way that we will never recover from.
And when he finished nationalizing the banks, as he spoke of doing, HE WILL CONTROL EVERYTHING.

Today they also determined that they will unilaterally lower mortgage balances, and shock of all shocks, banks did not like it. OH well , too bad, he has the banks and us by the cojones.

Then you have a silent media who fail to report and analyze any of this. They should no longer have the constitutional rights afforded the press when they behave as a state run media, advocating and controlling information to keep Obama's slight of hand secret until it is tooo late. Which it is.

WE ARE SCREWED!

"He’s on the payroll, just another person who was hand-selected by O for his “assistance” during the campaign rather than his expertise at his job."

He was a former Secretary of the Army and did not work on the Obama campaign.

At least he's consistent. Never takes any responsibility.

Ryan C, perhaps the news about the legal battle to take away our civil rights, and about UAW’s presidentially sanctioned "takeover" of GM, (and who knows what other stories yet to be unearthed,) will prove a bigger point - we’re CONSTANTLY being misdirected away from a dishonest administration’s anything-but-transparent actions, which are looking more and more like a total government takeover of American life. I'm not usually one to latch onto conspiracy theories (which are generally ridiculous), but I'm beginning to believe this was a planned stunt. No, I don't feel the need to defend that position, but the jury's still out.

In response to your points:
“You mean the [GOP Senators] that failed to toe the line like good little sheep?”
*So when Dems all stick together it’s a liberal victory, but when the Reps vote together, they’re being sheep? OK, my misunderstanding.

“Translation: Stop arguing facts and logic when I have a talking point I want to drive home”
*You’re the one who brought up the second newscycle and right-wing media, not me. I was addressing your comment, and of course I want to drive home a point (not a “talking” point) - that’s kind of WHY people debate, to get their point across to the other side. Grow up.

“Except there's no evidence of lying about this.”
*Ok, so the president is being 100% truthful about having no knowledge of this flight. So members his administration do what they want in his name and leave him holding the bag? That’s responsible leadership for you. So how about that apology to the citizens he swore to protect and represent on the behalf of his staff? Or how about keeping his minions in check in the first place?

“It appears to be an incredibly boneheaded mistake by a guy who is likely to lose his job.”
*He won’t lose his job. He’s on the payroll, just another person who was hand-selected by O for his “assistance” during the campaign rather than his expertise at his job... which might explain the error in judgment in the first place.

“I wonder if FoxNews has even mentioned whether Specter has defected.”
*Of course they have. Go check - the website doesn’t bite, and you might actually learn something today.
