OBAMA PLANE PHOTO OP STARTLES NEW YORKERS

[CoolBreeze]

A jumbo jet being chased by a F-16 fighter jets buzzed Lower Manhattan this morning, panicking New Yorkers, many of whom were forced to evacuate their office buildings.

It was not a terrorist attack, however, but a photo opportunity for Air Force One, sources told the Post.

President Obama was in Washington at the time, but the low-flying 747 circling the Statue of Liberty was one of the planes used as Air Force One, sources said.

The NYPD and the city were notified of the planned flight, but did not share that information with Mayor Bloomberg and other New Yorkers, many of whom said they were terrified.

The planes flew over the Verrazano Bridge, buzzed the left ear Lady Liberty and then continued up the Hudson past Jersey City and then circling back toward Staten Island, federal sources told the Post.

Thousands flooded the streets downtown as buildings called evacuations.

"There is situation outside. We don't have any further information," went one announcement at the Embassy Suites downtown.

After hearing it was all planned, many of those in the streets complained New Yorkers should have been warned.

"You don't do this to people down here after all we have been to," said Jillian Pizzarello, who also works at the Mercantile Exchange.

New York was warned.
DOD and WH told the reps pf the Mayors office.
Nobody informed the mayor or anybody else.
Big Apple falls flat on this one.

I hear there's a civilian snapshot that shows Obama hanging out the window of AF1, aiming a beer can at Lady Liberty's head.

Note DoD and WH also forgot to tell Barry O'Bama about this little stunt. The media is reporting that the Prez is pissed.

I bet Kent Carper is outraged that he was not notified.

They weren't allowed to tell the public. It was kept secret on purpose.

All I can say is that if the Obama administration represents the pinnacle of brilliance as they (and the press) claim, why is it they appear to be the gang that couldn't shoot straight?

Federal officials knew that sending two fighter jets and Air Force One to buzz ground zero and Lady Liberty might set off nightmarish fears of a 9/11 replay, but they still ordered the photo-op kept secret from the public.

In a memo obtained by CBS 2 HD the Federal Aviation Administration'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.

All who love freedom wish!

Unfortunately, it's going to be January 20, 2013, before it happens.....assuming we still have elections and that our votes have meaning.
