Scareforce One...The Official Photo

Tell you what, I can't see anything other than the plane itself in the image. I do't see any problem in it. What could be the reason why you are saying that it is a fake image. Can you give me a link where I can see a comparatively large picture, please!

and would not have cost an estimated 328,000 to do so. Yes that is what they say it cost to do that shot.. nice hugh

That's long been the practice when they want a story to go unnoticed - bury it on a Friday. SNL said the same thing about Photoshop. The good thing is the guy who wass responsible for that stupid stunt is gone. Annie

Thats IT???????? CRIPE! They should have given me the $300,000. I could have done better than that from my living room and I probably would have only charged them a few hundred bucks for it. No need for fighter jets (I could have put a few in there if the wanted) no need for freaking NYC out, no need for taking AirForce 1 for a joy ride and whatshisface could have kept his job and they STILL would have gotten a much better quality photo shoot.

Just another case of one of Obama's Clinton adminstration hires that was incompetent or a tax cheat or pay-for-play person. After being in the Clinton administrion Caldera a a political appointment by the Democratic govenor of NM to be the president of the University of New Mexico and when that didn't work out they had to pay him $700,000 to step down(maybe he should use some of that to reimburse the taxpayers for the photo opp cost) and now he will probably go back there as a professor at a slalary of $120,000. The photo opp never should have happened just from a waste of tax payer money view, especially during an economic crises and when Obama is claiming to be trying to cut costs, he should start with his own departments

That was very, very stupid. And why wasn't the prez asked before they took AF1 out? What if he had needed it? I'm glad that person resigned, what a fool. But this shows how government thinks--they don't think to save money, just spend it. You and I would have photoshopped it because our first thought would be to save money. Government people don't think of saving and if they had it would've saved a lot of trouble and not scared so many people.

It's not worth much of anything, if the truth be told. What are they going to do with it now? It was a stupid thing to do, both because of the anguish it caused New Yorkers and because of the money spent for a picture that, as you said, could have been created in Photoshop in five minutes. How ridiculous.

yeah they could have easily done that with photoshop and not only saved people the fright but also the taxpayers their money. I have heard some "conspiracy theory" like people who think that the story of the plane being there for a photo op is a lie and this photo is photoshop...lol.

There have been so many idiotic things done during the first few months of this Administration that by the end of 4 years it will be unbelievable. Whoever writes the story of this Admin., will have to write a series not a book. Shalom~Adoniah

Hey spalladino! First, before I start I just have to that those little blondies in your avatar are beyond gorgous! So those are the little Grandbabies! They are so beautiful! I hate to get into this subject now after that! Ok, here I go to the opposite extreme!!! Being a New Yorker, but living 45 minutes from NYC, when I saw this on the news I was in shock! How dare they do this to those of us who lived through the horrific 9/11 Towers being hit by planes flown so low! Why would they even think about doing something so stupid in a place where people have never recovered from that shock? Who the phuck thought up this manuever? There was no clearance with the Mayor of NY or the President! There is no excuse for such a terrible scare to the people of NYC! And I don't even know if the persons whose idea this was were even punished!!! I saw how low that plane was flying and the fright in the eyes of the people on the ground, and the words they said, "Oh God Not Again!" And all for what? Do a test flight somewhere else where people are not still reeling from a devastation like seeing the Twin Towers blown to bits on 9/11!!!

You are so right it could have been produced other ways, and it was not worth it. They had no right scaring all the people like they did. They should have used a lot more common seance.
