Yesterday a backup of the President Obama’s Air Force One plane flew very low over Manhattan and panicked the public. The public were not even told this would happen, so they thought it was going to be another terrorist again. How could anyone authorize this? A spokesperson from the Whitehouse said it was part of a photo op. How stupid is that! President Obama and New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who had not been told about the photo op, were both infuriated by the incident. Bloomberg called it "ill-conceived" and a "waste of taxpayers' money." A White House official told ABC News that President Obama was "furious" when he found out, and the Director of the White House Military Office, Louis Caldera, who approved the photo op, was called into a meeting with White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel and Deputy Chief of Staff Jim Messina. "It didn't sound like a fun meeting," the White House official said. I use music from www.incompetech.com , which is royalty free music.

But a lack of awareness about the flyover led to the evacuation of several buildings in Lower Manhattan and Jersey City, N.J., and perplexed officials at the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey and other authorities were inundated with calls from anxious ferry passengers, office workers and residents in the area. media monarchy dot com
