No way. This was on official email from the CEO, with times and details. It was sent to tens of thousands of employees. The muckety-mucks had been officially informed. It may have been the CEO’s decision to tell the troops, and maybe the White House wouldn't have been pleased, but this was definitely not some “tip” from a friend. I can't say which bank because I work there. But anyone who wants to do some digging will find out. (There may have been many TARP banks that were informed, but I can speak only about the one where I work.)

WE need a truth commission run by Pat Leahy and House
hearings run by “Turkey Conyers”.What’s that? Bush isn’t
president. Never mind!

You said:
"Idiot must have gotten his brains from the Third World." Then you say:
"Dont equate intelligence with a Third World mentality. All this after pointing out his race or ethnicity is hispanic. I do not see any of this as having to do with Caldera being hispanic.
I guess I do not clearly understand your meaning. But please remember lots of people view this website everyday. We do not want to see comments that make Feee Republic appear to be a home to bigotry.

Let me guess. JPMorganChase and/or Goldman Sachs.

.......joyriding in military planes is something the AF is very strict about..... some functionary wouldnt have had the power to order something like this............ My thoughts precisely---a lot of top-level people would have had to signoff on it.
Caldera might have forged official documents, he might have duped other officials, in order to get clearance to pulloff the stunt.
Might be something a Third World marauder like Caldera would do---to showoff---to show he has power over the federal government.

Please. There would be absolutely no reason for Caldera to do this in the first place, he does not have the power, and he was approving somebody else’s request. He may be a dumb apparatchik, like everybody Bambi has appointed, but being Hispanic does not make Caldera a “Third World marauder.”
You post interesting things, until your posts are destroyed by an insane dislike of Hispanics, and I really don’t think that’s appropriate for this site.

Okay, can we just see the darn pictures? Oh, I see. You left the cap on the lens. Oh. So, there isn’t even a single picture? And you won’t do it again? So, can we talk to the pilot of Scareforce One? Oh, where is he being detained? Oh, no more questions? I understand.

From that NY Post article:
The planes flew over the Verrazano Bridge, buzzed Lady Liberty's left ear, continued up the Hudson past Jersey City and then circled back toward Staten Island, federal officials said. The jets then completed two more loops as photographers aboard the F-16 took the world's most expensive snapshots.
Photographers (plural) aboard the F-16 took pictures? Um, how many people can sit in an F-16?

Hey, if I were you I’d take the opportunity to say, “Hey, it was early and I wasn’t thinking clearly.” Otherwise, take your lumps.

1/ Who REQUESTED (not approved) the mission?
2/ Did Obama know about it in advance?
3/ Who was ON the jet besides the USAF crew? Was this a payola junket?

I'm guessing the "photo shop" opportunity was for someone INSIDE the aircraft.
This whole thing stinks to high heaven. I can remember a low fly-by of military aircraft along the Hudson River a couple of years ago during Fleet Week in New York City. Every news outlet within 250 miles of Manhattan carried advance stories in the days leading up to it describing what was going to happen -- specifically to avoid any chance of chaos/panic that could have resulted among New Yorkers after 9/11.

And Governor Paterson is still MIA.
Does anyone have a link to his press conference or statement on this?
Paging Governor Paterson...Paging Governor Paterson...
Where the hell are you? Are you hiding?
Did you know about this?
If you did know, Why didn't you warn the people of New York????
Were you on the plane?
To: Upstate NY Guy
This is a very large symptom of the imbeciles running DC right now. They are children encapsulated in adults' bodies.
This country is a nation of idiot voters.
