President Photo Op.

It's a good thing the press keeps assuring us that Obama is the most smartest president evah. Cause this seems really, really dumb:
WASHINGTON – An administration official says a presidential Boeing 747 and a fighter jet flew low near ground zero in New York City Monday because the White House Military Office wanted to update its file photo of the president's plane near the Statue of Liberty.

This official said the White House Military Office told the Federal Aviation Administration that it periodically updates file photos of Air Force One near national landmarks, like the statute in New York harbor and the Grand Canyon.

The official requested anonymity to give more details than the official White House announcement that took the blame.

The incident on Monday caused a brief panic among workers, who weren't warned. They recalled the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.
While the incident is sanitized above by our throne-sniffing media, skyscrapers were evacuated and people fled in the streets at the sight of the 747 swooping towards Manhattan. Breitbart has a damning video showing the understandable panic.

After Obama's latest misstep, I've had a rather horrifying thought: What if Biden's the smart one?

    I have a pop-up blocker installed that makes a satisfying bang when it kills a pop-up.

    Cut to me watching the video...just as the plane flies by one of the other windows I had open decided to throw up a pop-up and......BOOM

    Timing is everything. I knew the story & still flinched

    That thought has occurred to me. That thought was followed up by this: I voted for McCain in the belief (for the reason that) that he would do less harm.

    Mr. Biden might in fact be better for us on those grounds.

    But having Pelosi on deck would then be pretty terrifying.
