$328,835 wasted?

Recently the white house authorized a photo op of Air Force One flying around the Statue of Liberty. The public was not notified of this flyover and it sent people scurrying for cover. 911 was flooded with calls from panicing citizens reliving the terror they still remember from September 11, 2001.

The issue of not notifying the public that a large passenger type jet flying through the buildings and surroundings of New York has already been well hashed out. The addition of two F16 fighters flying directly behind the mammoth jet certainly had to raise the panic level of those citizens.

The White House has now released cost estimates of $328,835 for this event. The pictures weren't even going to be released! Why in the world would we need to spend this much money for pictures that weren't even going to be released? In a time when we have record spending and record joblessness, why are we spending 1/3 of a million dollars on pictures?

This is yet another example of howthis Administration is wasteful with the taxpayers money and seems to have no regard for how hard people work to earn their paychecks.

George W would never have done something so stupid or foolish. Like it or not, George W has more common sense than Obama. Thanks for all the "change" BO.

Bumper sticker of the year: "The Weak and Easily Impressed Have Spoken". Preceeding that statement is an Obama symbol.

I have to find a copy!
