Actually, I'm basing my view of video footage and firsthand accounts from New York residents.

Whether you believe they should have panicked or whether the number was acceptably small is a matter of opinion. What is beyond dispute is that the administrations stunt caused undue disruption to the largest city in the country and no one has been fired.

You guys are overreacting. You're basing your whole view of this on the local media reports, which were overblown and hyperbolic (surprise, surprise). The percentage of people who freaked out about this was incredibly small.

The military knew about it, the NYPD knew about it, and if they forgot to tell Bloomberg, that's hardy Obama's fault.

Whiny pussies.

What I couldn't believe is how the news was reporting that he apologized then would show that clip where he is explaining how he found out the same time the rest of us did and it won't happen again. He could not have cared less. And his attitude is like "don't worry, we are taking care of it". And the press is like "oh, okay Barry – we still love you!!" Like they don't even notice that he is a first class jerk.

Thanks for the mention, Jimmie. Fausta's post really nailed it.

If you haven't seen how this fly-over impacted the people of New York, visit Fausta's blog and watch the videos. People were running int he streets, buildings were emptying…it was scary as anything for them.

This is just another example of bad judgment in an administration full of incompetents.
