Have you heard about the latest offering of evidence regarding how inept the Obama Administration is? It involves Air Force One, and a city full of frightened New Yorkers.
On Monday Air Force One was supposed to be a part of a wonderful photo opportunity with the New York Skyline in the background, and a close flyby of the Statue of Liberty.
New Yorkers thought it was some kind of terrorist attack, with 9/11 fresh in their minds. If terrorists were willing to fly planes into the World Trade Center Towers, and into the Pentagon, another attack using similar tactics would not be a surprise.
So, as the 747 flew low, trailed by fighter jets, New Yorkers ran for cover filled with fear.
The New York Times reported that President Obama was "incensed when he learned of the event Monday afternoon."
What? The President of the United States didn't know where one of his Air Force One planes were? Now, I find that very difficult to believe. But, if it is true, it adds to showing how inept the Obama Administration truly is.
What kind of idiots flies a plane around New York City like that in this post 9/11 world? Are they so stupid that they think it is 9/10/01? Are they so inept that it crossed nobody's minds that such an action might cause panic and fear in the city?
And the White House didn't know about it?
How does Obama, or his staff, not know that Air Force One is scheduled for a photo-shoot somewhere? After all, when one Air Force One is in the air, so is the other, normally. By only one being up, it sends a signal to the enemy that either the president is for sure on that plane, or is holed up at the White House without an escape that has a decoy attached.
Anytime those birds are in the air, the president is either on board, or there is a contingency plan to protect him should folks gunning for him figure out he isn't. After all, the President of the United States, regardless of who he is, has to be the most protected person on the face of the Earth. Anything less is unacceptable. And the president, considering it is his life that is in constant danger, is normally abreast of everything regarding these protocols.
Everybody should be informing everybody. The communication among the staff needs to be top notch.
But not with the Obama Administration. The breakdown in communication was horrid.
He's the all-knowing Obama when it comes to international dealings. He claims to know what everyone is feeling, and he knows how to solve the world's problems, he claims to have had a full handle on the Indian Ocean and SEALS situation in saving Captain Richard Phillips, yet he has no clue when his plane is out there terrifying the citizens of New York.
How incompetent this administration truly is.
That is what this situation is. It is an example of the incompetence of the Obama Administration. They can't even coordinate with each other enough to know when one of the Air Force One jets are in the air!
And this guy is running our country? This administration is tasked with keeping this country safe? They can't even keep track of an airplane that is tasked to taxi around the president, or to create a contingency plan to keep the president safe when the plane is in the air without him (which is gone without their knowledge), yet they are supposed to be able to do all the other things that goes along with running this nation.
You can't do the big things if you haven't figured out how to do the little things.
