yes, it was an idea. it was a "planned photo op". they meant to do it. how do you not? how the hell is it a "mistake". "opps, should have made a left." they flew around for 30 mins. wtf?no maryjaneindeed, it wasnt obamas idea, it wasnt an idea, it was an ummm...unfortunate mistake. sucks tho, when i saw the vid of the plane, it sent an eerie chill down my body, things wont ever be the same, never forget 9/11.
Obama didn't know about it until after the fact.
Last week, I approved a mission over New York. I take responsibility for that decision," said Louis Caldera, director of the White House Military Office. "While federal authorities took the proper steps to notify state and local authorities in New York and New Jersey, it's clear that the mission created confusion and disruption."
The officials said the president was angry when he learned Monday afternoon about the flight, which sparked fear in the New York-New Jersey area.
"The president was furious about it," one of the officials said. The incident outraged many New Yorkers, including Mayor Michael Bloomberg.
"First thing is, I'm annoyed -- furious is a better word -- that I wasn't told," he said, calling the aviation administration's decision to withhold details about the flight "ridiculous" and "poor judgment."
"Why the Defense Department wanted to do a photo op right around the site of the World Trade Center defies the imagination," he said. "Had we known, I would have asked them not to."

well i guess it's ok then.
anyone lose their job over it? i mean, how mad is he?
they were in HIS airplane.I wasn't saying it's ok, I'm just trying to point out that we can't just lay the blame for EVERYTHING at Obama's feet.
Sometimes they go behind the presidents back and then call it "plausible deniability".
Shit should go up hill. The failure of those staffers reflects on Obama, thus Obama can be blamed.they were in HIS airplane.
"hey let's go for a litle joy ride. the prez will never know."
once again, was ANYONE fired?
you realize people evacuated skyscrapers? they were SCARED. for reals.
