Default A Little Honesty Please.

"The fly over NYC would have been headlines and the fodder to blame Bush...it is not funny and it tells me what you do at night...watch MSNBC..they have such fun at his expense nightly...and I thought they were Obama supporters who wanted to move on !!!!"

Actually the liberal media is FURIOUS over the flyover, and Obama's seeming unwillingness to can the guy who planned it. They're New Yorkers remember, as am I. I lost two acquaintances, one a fireman and would have lost two very close friends at Cantor-Fitzgerald had fate not interceded that morning in a baby's toothache!

MSNBC reported that Louis Caldera, a former Secretary of the Army who runs the White House Military Office, took the blame- but he also instructed the mission to be classified, instructed the FAA to be silent about it, and dismissed concerns about 9/11 memories.

Clearly, the planners- and Obama- do not think like NY'ers & the event and its aftermath are being chalked up to "oops!" That won't be good enough, and shows tremendous insensitivity. There will be a quick learning curve on this one.

Regarding Bush-teasing & taunting, sorry you feel that way. One man's umbrage is another man's satire. Public personalities will always be open to scrutiny. It could be generationally or tempermentally-based. I've found that feelings about Saturday Night Live are a good indicator of where the humor/satire meter is set.
