DOES THE STUPIDITY EVER END????

Is there no end to the rank stupidity?

Earlier today (Monday, April 27, 2009) New Yorkers were "treated" to a 747 flying low over New York City and Jersey City.

From the ground it appeared that two F-16 fighters were chasing it.

Understandably, people were taken aback at best.

One witness reported that at one time it looked as though the plane was headed straight for the building he was working in.

Even you, dear liberal reader, can understand the sudden shot of adrenaline that would have coursed through that man's body straight to his heart, can't you?

According to Mayor Michael Bloomberg, nobody in New York City government was informed that what turned out to be an photo-op exercise was going to take place.

At 4:39 p.m. Monday, the White House issued an apology for the flyover. Louis E. Caldera, director of the White House Military Office, who served in the Clinton administration as secretary of the Army, said in a statement:

"Last week, I approved a mission over New York.

"I take responsibility for that decision.

"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.

"I apologize and take responsibility for any distress that flight caused."

Here's another case of a President BO appointment gone bad.

It seems that his appointee, Louis E. Caldera, was unable to foresee the possible pandemonium such an exercise could cause.

Perhaps he does not remember that there used to be two large buildings that are no longer there because they were crashed into by two large airplanes.

Maybe he could not connect the dots that would lead to the citizens from the almost 3,000 people who were mercilessly killed in those buildings.

It could be that the date 9/11 just doesn't mean anything to Mr. Caldera or to President BO.

"I take responsibility for that decision," he said.

No he doesn't.

Responsibility always comes with a price (think speeding ticket...the responsible person pays for it).

There will be no price paid by Louis Caldera. This will be treated as a non event.

Please don't come to this blog with excuses for this episode or trying to explain it away.

Don't try to equate this with something President Bush, or President Reagan did.

They are not the subject here.

President BO and his appointees' inane behavior is the subject.

It was an egregious (for you public school graduates, that means: conspicuously and outrageously bad or reprehensible) action and cannot be mitigated (moderated in force or intensity).

The people in this administration do not know what they are doing, but seem determined to do it anyway.

How you, Mr. Average American, can stand by and let these things go on is beyond my ability to intellectualize.

When...oh when will you get out of the way and let us return to being what America should be being?

When will your stupidity end?

Here's another look at what people saw:
