If it was really a photo-op, where are the photos?

White House to Release Photo From New York Flyover

A photo. For over $300,000. Makes what photo studios do with their $8.95 loss leader packages look like total freebies.

I don't think it really was a photo shoot. I think somebody came up with that story. So what was REALLY going on?

My guess would be it was a promised payoff for his supporters.

"Let's buzz Manhattan and the Statue of Liberty, folks!" would be par for the course for an elitist fool who eats $100 an ounce steaks and who has his wife attend a charity event in $545 athletic shoes.

"Man Of The People", my butt!

I can't help thinking that something else occurred here that they're not telling us.

The thing just STINKS like rotten potatoes. There seems to be only bad ways of looking at it -- either they were so stupid that they didn't know they would terrify the citizens of New York, so arrogant that they didn't care, or (like a sophomoric prank) did it intentionally to scare the hell out of people for fun. The only other options are even more sinister, and I don't even begin to want to think of an appropriate theory behind such a conspiracy.

I vote for the "so arrogant they don't care" option. You'd have to be a pretty big idiot not to know that flying a large plane, low, over New York (specifically national landmarks) wouldn't cause alarm. They didn't even notify the mayor first. Isn't that kind of basic? You know, so he can tell people to AVOID a big panic...
