Air Force One photo op with our taxpayer dollars

It seems there was a photo op of Air Force One (Obama was not onboard) over lower Manhattan this morning. There are a couple of things wrong with this stunt. One is why is it being done i.e. what do they know that we don't? The second in these hard economic times does the Obama Administration really need to conduct "photo ops" with fuel guzzling (taxpayer dollar sucking) planes like 747 aircraft? Especially for "photo ops" over lower Manhattan where low flying aircraft can make citizens nervous. This was a very stupid and costly idea!

The Stimulus money is green but, is Obama?

So let me get this straight after Obama used fear to get his and the Democratic Stimulus Bill passed fast or there would be a "catastrophe". He then delays the signing by a day. So much for urgency. But, not only that he is going to take Air Force one and fly over halfway across the country to sign the bill. Huh? How much is that going to cost in fuel, security and carbon in the atmosphere to fly the Presidents plane to Denver? How about he just stay in the White House and sign it at the desk. Oh, that's right it would not make for a big photo op if he stayed in Washington.
