WASHINGTON — The White House is refusing to release the controversial photos of Air Force One flying over the Manhattan skyline last week that triggered panic among New Yorkers and an internal review in the Obama administration.
White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said Tuesday that there was no need to release them.
"I've watched CNN," he said, noting the considerable coverage from amateur footage. "I didn't notice a lack of archival material from that flight."
He added that he didn't know where to locate the photos taken from inside the plane.

Nothing new here, he also declines to release his REAL birth certificate...
“Can probably see people in the windows...
Who was on board???”
That is exactly what I want to know! I want to know who these people are that were so stupid, callous, self-serving and insensitive that they would cause widespread panic in a city where thousands lost their lives. What the hell is going on this country for petes sake!! What an f—ing disgrace!
“Classified” publicity photos. LOL. They are hiding something very embarassing. Prolly Mechelle and some ChiTown homies went for a joy ride. The truth will out but it is going to take FOIA and a lawsuit...
It’s okay to release photos that could harm our troops but it is not okay to release photos that could embarrass the White House.
“Declines to release”??? Doesn’t FoxNews know the word “refused”?
Probably took Ward Churchill up for a giggle at the “little Eichmans” on the ground.
"He added that he didn't know where to locate the photos taken from inside the plane."
Start with the manifest and then you'll find the only photos that were taken on that flight and the real purpose of the flight.
It will then only be a question of how bad this will become for the Obama regime. Bad if family and political supporters. Worse if domestic campaign contributors. Off the charts if his radical buddies or foreign campaign supporters.
I have a feeling Republicans will release the passenger list around election time.
Yours is the post of the day.
I just sent a VERY STRONGLY worded email to my congrosscritter, M. Kirk Rino-IL, demanding that he obtain the full manifest of who was on board the aircraft and provide any and all photographs taken before, during and after the flight.
IF there were any of Dear Leader’s money baggers on board, WE THE PEOPLE have a right to know.
I do NOT expect any action from my elected representative.
Easy jocko12. For all the problems most of us have with Obama surely his color is not one of them.
“He added that he didn’t know where to locate the photos taken from inside the plane.”
OK, how’s this:
1) Put the camera on the ground, not in an airplane.
2) Make it a movie camera not owned by the government.
3) Place the camera near a group of unsuspecting New York citizens going about their day.
4) Put AF1 and a chase plane in the sky background.
5) Start making a movie.
The “photos” are not his to release, they belong to the movie company.
If this really was all about photos or video, it was useless. There is no way any of these photos or videos will come to light now, so all those people freaked out for NOTHING.
If someone had died from their panic that day...
Were any foreign nationals on the flight?
Who has Obama been trying to suck up to recently?
China - Trying to convince them to buy US securities
Saudi Arabia - kissing the ring
Cuba - Travel and Trade
Venezuela - Anti-American rand & book
Russia - Please help us with Iran
Iran - Please don’t use the bomb when you get it.
North Korea -
Or maybe Hamas, any one of the G-20 countries, Mexico, etc.
Re#27 Along with Bill Ayers and Reverend Wright. Seriously though, the WH is hiding something and it ain’t pretty...
That F-16 has a red tail fin...maybe they’ll use this in the “Tuskeegee Airman” film that George Lucas is making.
Good for you GRRRR. Any NYrs out there? Peter King would be a good candidate for some pressure on “transparency”...
I believe this whole thing was an attempt at a PR commercial for Barry showing AF1 flying proudly around the Statue of Liberty with a message....”Without me in charge to guard this lady, America is doomed”. Or something like that. Obama will do everything in his power to persuade the public that they are helpless without him. This man believes he is a king. That reason alone is why we separated from England to rid ourselves from such tyranny.
