So, last night, I happened across Jimmy Kimmel Live, and he was talking about this mess. His comment was along the line of "here is the president, and democratic committee who prided themselves on their use of computers and facebook during the election, yet they can't use photoshop to take care of this "updated photo op". He then went on to show how, for $20, his graphics crew was able to put Airforce One over the Statue of Liberty, then they put obama on the wing while it was flying over, then they put Shaq in place of the Statue...

It was quite funny.

The actual flyover apparently wasn't so, I can imagine the scare it set off.

Reported cost of the actual flight, around $300,000

Photo shop was the first tinng that came to my mind. Either way, the jack a$$ that authorized that should be "flown over" ........Flown over the Atlantic ocean and dropped off in the middle of it!
 
How they're using those low flying photos from the other day

From a person who had several business associates killed on September 11, 2001, the gaff by the government only goes to show how far removed it has become from that day. The incident shows what the people really want from the federal government and that is protection from all of the evil around us. People in New York were down right scared of that big airplane flying over them. But since it was done by the new administration, I guess it was ok--to hell with the people. Remember one of the perceived prime targets after 9/11 was the Statute of Liberty. 102 days down 1,398 to go.
