747

I’ve hardly seen so many politicians proudly proclaim their ignorance to the public after the outcry of New Yorkers who saw the shadow of a 747 loom brazenly over their skyscrapers. These policy makers are hypocritical and dangerous.

The president decides on the campaign trail that global warming is decided science, yet wastes $60,000 worth of jet fuel for the sole purpose of a photo-op. What’s next? Perhaps next time there is a global summit, Pelosi and Obama should race their 747s across the Atlantic to prove their commitment to the environment.

When confronted by the media, which is supposedly for the people, the White House Press Secretary Gibbs tells the press to call the White House. That’s slightly insulting since Gibbs essentially IS the White House in this case.

Shockingly, before carrying on with this photo-op, not a single citizen was notified to the plan of a low-flying 747, and not a single administrator is to blame. Somehow, I find the latter part much harder to believe than the former. We are meant not to worry though, because Obama is outraged about Obama’s photo-op gone wrong. It seems that time-and-time again the liberals yell for transparency out-of-office, and implement secrecy when in-office.

But, the part most frightening to me is that this is the same government that proposes meeting new challenges of average people through the central planning of an elite. If the elite politicians and policy makers didn’t understand the kind of fear the shadow of a 747 would create in the minds of New Yorkers would generate, then how can it possibly understand or meet the needs of average Americans? Rather than showing us the light, this administration sees fit to leave us in its shadow.
