NYC Fly Over Photo OpSucking up to Hugo Chavez, unforgettable. Fly Air Force Two with an F15 chase plane low over NYC, priceless.http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-...042701372.html?wprss=rss_business I wonder how much jet fuel this photo op cost the American taxpayer, not to mention all those precious carbon credits. Admittedly GW Bush was not always the brightest bulb on the block but this is ridiculous. What the heck, it's been over seven and half years, the Big Apple needs to get over it. Ain't that right Mr. President? |

Photo ops are an important tool for maintaining public appeal. Get used to them. No real harm done. |

Here is another example of hubris decision making.
From the Associated Press regarding Obama’s news conference on his 100th day in office. "This will be Obama's third prime-time news conference as president, a schedule that has caused some private grumbling among network executives. Carrying a news conference costs the four broadcast networks an estimated $10 million-plus in lost advertising revenue. Yet with an economy in distress, two wars and now a swine flu outbreak, the pressure on networks to agree to Obama's request as a public service is enormous." |
