Hey, I've got an idea!Over 100 children are abducted every year by strangers. I can only imagine how terrifying it must be for a child to have been abducted or kidnapped from their school or home by a complete stranger. Why not bring some joy back into their lives by putting on a carnival with a bunch of fair rides for them to go on! And to add to the element of surprise, let's send a bunch of strangers (claiming to be friends of their parents, of course) to sneak into their homes, or intercept them on the way home from school, or at shopping mall restrooms to grab them, and bring them to the event!
One can only imagine the excitement on those kids' faces when the burlap sack is pulled off their heads and they get to see the tilt-a-whirl, candy apples and ball tossing games!
Okay, I'm obviously being facetious here. Anyone with the capability to think would know right away that this is an idea so insensitive that it borders on ridiculous.
With that knowledge, one can assume that White House Military Office Director Louis Caldera is a complete idiot.
Caldera approved a flyover of Air Force One over lower Manhattan yesterday for the express purpose of having it photographed with the the Statue of Liberty in the background. Since announcing to the public that Air Force One would be flying so low over Manhattan at a certain time could invite radicals to attack the jet, this event was kept secret.
But let's think here - what happened the LAST time a giant airliner skimmed the Manhattan skyline? Caldera seems to have forgotten, but the people of New York City didn't!
The following YouTube video captures the frightened public's reaction.
How could one fail to think this through and realize this was as bad an idea as my hypothetical "kidnapping previously kidnapped children for a carnival" stunt? The last time a jet skimmed the Manhattan skyline followed by an F-16, 13.4 million square feet of real estate was destroyed and 3,000 people lost their lives.
Why would you do this to those poor people?
And all this for a photo shoot?
Hey, Caldera! Adobe Photoshop will run you $699. Stock photos of the Statue of Liberty and Air Force one are cheap! How much did it cost you to fly Air Force One and an F-16 over New York?

I think they made up story of photo shoot.... a very childish one though... 2 fighter jets chasing the AirForce plane...
To me sounds more like "someone", took Airforce plane and gave the government a very Scary time....
can you imagine how would be the explanation if Militaries couldn't keep "someone" from flying over NY ????? if "someone" wanted to show power and make look Obama bad, they did it and are laughing indeed.
Sorry for the "head" of the sacrificial lamb.
