I guess people HAVEN'T forgotten about 9/11, they only forget when it comes to Democrat campaigns and when it's time to vote.
This is our SUPER smart new President (http://www.nypost.com/seven/04272009/news/regionalnews/obama_plane_photo_op_startles_new_yorker_166470.ht m)

That goes beyond insensitive to be honest.

Who thought that was a good idea ???

You know - I go WAY out of my way, and expend a LOT OF EFFORT daily to FORCE myself to be respectful of the Office of President of the United States.

President Obama and his staff pulls something like this, I have to repeatedly ask myself why.

How did someone so arrogant and completely aloof ever become President? I'm living in an alternate/parallel universe.

You have company...this living in an alternate universe.

And it cost you and I $328,835

Our President doesn’t have a clue when it comes to the whereabouts of Air Force One, but on the other hand, he’s involved in approving every shot the military fires. The following transcript recently surfaced:

Secret Service: Pardon me, Mr. President, does it matter to you what we do with Air Force One?
Obama: (Obama lays the phone down). What are you talking about?
Secret Service: We would like to take it out for a photo-opt.
Obama: Why are you asking me?
Secret Service: Well Sir, I thought you would always want to know where Air Force One is at.
Obama: That’s what you get for thinking. I’m too busy attending to the people’s business to think about small matters like that. I’ve got important business to take care of.
Secret Service: What is that, Sir?
Obama: Don’t you realize that I’m the Commander in Chief?
Secret Service: Yes, Sir.
Obama: Okay. Then let me do my job.
Secret Service: What are you working on, Sir?
Obama: (Obama sighs).This is why I’m President and you’re not. I’m about to take out some Somali Pirates.
Secret Service: So you don’t care if we take it off the tarmac?
Obama: Take what off the tarmac?
Secret Service: Air Force One, Sir.
Obama: Oh, we’re still talking about that? I’m a delegator, son. Can’t you have a little discretion of your own?
Secret Service: We just don’t want to do something we’re not supposed to do.
Obama: Can’t you see that I’m on the phone doing urgent national security business?
Secret Service: I’m sorry, Sir. I’ll be quick. What about the fuel, Sir?
Obama: What’s it going to cost?
Secret Service: Oh, about $320,000.
Obama: Is that all?
Secret Service: Sir?
Obama: I’m just joking. Here, use this CITGO credit card that my friend Hugo Chavez gave me.
Secret Service: You don’t care where we’re taking Air Force One?
Obama: No, I trust you. Have fun. Now, leave me alone so I can take care of some very important National Security issues.
Secret Service: Yes, Sir. (Secret Service leaves the room).
Obama: (Obama picks up the phone). Sorry about the interruption, son. Do you have a good shot at those Somali Pirates?
Navy Seal: Yes, Sir. The rough seas have settled down. Should we shoot now?
Obama: Oh, good grief. No, don’t shoot now.
Navy Seal: Sir, we may miss our only opportunity.
Obama: How am I going to look to the American people if this seems to be as simple as a little more than back yard target practice? I am a President who solves catastrophes and impossible situations. I want this to look difficult, son. Do you understand?
Navy Seal: Yes, Sir.
Obama: Let’s wait until the seas are rough again. A good shot in high seas is what I want. Then I will be admired the way I should be.
Navy Seal: Okay sir, the seas are coming up again. Should we shoot?
Obama: How high are the seas?
Navy Seal: Eight feet and rising, sir.
Obama: Do you have a good shot?
Navy Seal: It’s difficult sir. Just as we get them in our crosshairs, we lose them again.
Obama: Now that’s what I want. Okay son, take the shot when you can.
Navy Seal: Yes, Sir. (Shots heard) Sir, we got them all. I don’t know how we did it, but we did.
Obama: Great, son. Now that’s what I call a rush. It’s really cool being Commander in Chief.
Navy Seal: What did you say, sir?
Obama: Never mind, son. Just transfer me to the ship's cook.
Navy Seal: The cook, sir?
Obama: Yes, the cook. I’m a President of the people. I want to be involved in every part of everyone's lives.
