This has got to be one of the biggest bone-headed moves ever by a Pres­i­den­tial nomination:

Just before the work­day began on Mon­day, an air­liner and super­sonic fighter jet zoomed past the lower Man­hat­tan sky­line. Within min­utes, star­tled finan­cial work­ers streamed out of their offices, fear­ing a night­mar­ish replay of Sept. 11.

For a half-hour, the Boe­ing 747 and F-16 jet cir­cled the Statue of Lib­erty and the Finan­cial Dis­trict near the World Trade Cen­ter site. Offices evac­u­ated. Dis­patch­ers were inun­dated with calls. Wit­nesses thought the planes were fly­ing dan­ger­ously low.

Air Force One over Ground Zero

What in the world was White House mil­i­tary office direc­tor Louis Caldera think­ing??  Did they not real­ize that a 747 — fly­ing very low over the city being chased by an air force jet — would scare the liv­ing day­lights out of peo­ple?  Did they not real­ize that peo­ple who suf­fered through the largest tragedy our nation has ever seen could go into shellshock?

Also, appar­ently even the Dear Leader didn’t even know that it was going to hap­pen.   Accord­ing to the arti­cle, Obama was “furi­ous” when he learned of the fly-by.  I don’t know which is worse — him not know­ing some­thing his own admin­is­tra­tion was doing or know­ing about it and approv­ing it.  I agree with floor trader John Leit­ner — heads should roll.  I had been under the impres­sion that Ground Zero was now a no-fly zone.  Heck, I thought all national land­marks were no-fly zones…Apparently not to Caldera. 

This on top of other things that have been hap­pen­ing in the past 98 days just con­firms that the Obama admin­is­tra­tion is one of the most inept admin­is­tra­tions in the his­tory of our country.
