Can you imagine if this would have happened on GW's watch? I can hear the cries for an investigation, the shouts of incompetence and insensitivity. What did he know and when did he know it?

If this would have been GW I'm sure it would have made the national news for two weeks straight. BO isn't so keen without his teleprompter telling him what to say. What a maroon.

The teleprompter is what really gets me.

I would love to have this President actually have a press conference where the press could ask WHATEVER questions they want....NOT prescreened who asks and NO TELEPROMPTER.

Unfortunately, the real thing happened on the Bush/Cheney watch and they had forewarning but Condi ignored it! 3000 dead on 9/11 and 4500 lives wasted going after the wrong people. Mostly Saudis on those 9/11 planes not Iraqis.

I am surprised that GW has not been blamed for this too.

Only if he knew for sure Obama was on it. Secondly, he wasn't in NYC at the time, he was in Mexico starting the swine flu epidemic. I'm sure they will pin that on him in a day or two ;)

Even if he was on the plane himself!

"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.
