White House Says It Will Share "A Photo," Review of Controversial Photo-Op

The White House has apparently had a change of heart, and will release "a photo" from the pricey, fright-inducing Manhattan flyover photo-op involving an Air Force fighter jet and a Boeing 747 which is sometimes used as the president's plane.

The White House has said it is conducting an internal review of the fiasco, which cost over $328,000 in taxpayer dollars and frightened a broad swath of lower Manhattan, site of the 9/11 attack on the World Trade Center towers.

"The report I believe will be concluded at some point this week. We'll release its findings and release a photo," White House press secretary Robert Gibbs told reporters Wednesday.

At a press briefing a day earlier, Gibbs had dodged reporters' questions about the photo-op. "I've watched CNN. . . I didn't notice a lack of archival material from that flight," Gibbs cracked, an apparent reference to the prevalence of shaky video shot last week by witnesses on the ground.

1. Fake Noise is going bonkers with this one !

Apparently they didn't hear the President say " we only found out about it like you all did", he said there will be an investigation. The photoshop pics on Fucktard & Friends are a hoot ! Our American Flag is soiled in torture and they want to talk about Miss CA. My country will go down in the history books as an evil nation. What America are these buffoons living in ? It's sure not My America. http://www.wisecountyissues.com/?p=138 They say "The Appalachian Mountains are still pristine." Wha....t ??? O'reilly have you checked lately ?

2. They would have spent the $328,000 regardless of the photo op

Yes the photo stunt was very stupid but bitching about the cost is equally as stupid.

Do you want the pilots to fly the thing with out training or practice with the President aboard?

Bitch about them flying over NYC but shut up already about the cost.

5. You "know" that they would have spent $328K anyway only because they said so after the fact. In

reality, we don't have the first clue of the actual cost or what a training mission would have cost. As far as training, people who fly planes flying hundred of people at a clip learn on simulators, then by flying co-pilot. And do you think they are hiring trainees to fly Air Force One? How much will the investigation cost? We'll know when they tell tell us, I guess. Or some of us will think we know.

BTW, what's to investigate? Shouldn't everything already be in writing before Air Force One ever lifts off?

3. And if you really DO believe that the mission was a just a photo-op

I have a bridge in Brooklyn you may want to buy!
