Can somebody 'splain to me why this needed to be kept a secret if Uncle Eg0 wasn't even on board?
Stupidity and arrogance. Apparently they are planning a flyby of DC soon, but I think there'll be warning about it this time. How perfect is that?
"Washingtonians could be in for a similar site next week, according to the Wall Street Journal. The White House planned to have one of the presidential planes fly over Washington on May 5 or 6, using the Capitol as a backdrop for the picture. Sources say that plan may be reconsidered, given Monday's reaction."
LinkI can only see a major problem with this. Hi-jackers manage to take over a similar sized plane, and head for DC on the given dates, nobody worries because they think it's just 0Bama airing out his ego.
