Apologies From Hell: 9/11 On 4/27

Posted by: Laer at 04:07 pm

“L

et’s get some nice photos of Air Force One with the New  York City skyline in the background.”  Sure, that seems like a great idea … unless you pause to think about the panic that might ensue, which is exactly what happened, as captured in this pure pathos clip.

So a nomination for PR Disaster of the Year goes to the Director of the White House Military Office, Louis Caldera, who fessed up this afternoon.  That would be honor enough, but Caldera wanted more, apologizing by shoving the responsibility over to officials in New York and New Jersey:

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.

If you’re taking full responsibility, Caldera, don’t bring up the “proper steps” you took to notify the locals. That’s hardly taking full responsibility.

    Caldera is honoring his boss by copying his technique…..accept the responsibility, while simultaneously blaming someone else.

    I’m surprised the White House didn’t find a way to blame the Bushies! While accepting full responsibility, of course!

    Obama will figure out a way to blame something that he wanted done, on someone else.  His greatest accomplishment in his first 100 days is his ability to blame others and to get the media to nod and go along.
    Obama has many ‘accomplishments’ to his credit though, including ruining the economy and extending the war on terror for a generation.
    Here is a link to a list of other ‘lighter’ accomplishments.

With Obama winning the presidency by seven percent, we can't blame the media. Their laudatory coverage and refusal to extensively probe into Obama's background and [lack of] experience was at best responsible for five percent of his vote, the pundits tell us. Here is a compilation of over 100 significant instances of pro-Obama/anti-McCain bias during the 2008 campaign.
