I have to agree with Red here. I seriously doubt BO knew about it. This numb nuts at the white house should lose his job though. Not only for the "747 tearing through NYC at low levels" thing but also for the "328k spent by our gov't on a photo shoot for a website". Why hasn't Barack apologized for this?
I'm just betting if they looked around, they could find a pic that would suffice. Isn't AF1 (the 757 one) the most recognized plane in the world? 328k for this one and they were gonna do another in DC? Sheesh. Oh well, it's only around 800k for a couple of pics. No biggie!

A good photo shop could have accomplished the same thing for 100'th of the cost. The guy behind this should be getting his walking papers soon.
I can't believe BO made them get that close just so he could see those people in the river. Damn insensitive if you ask me! :grin:
