I find it hard to believe either Obama or someone very close to him didn't know about this, as there are only 2 of these planes. Whenever he travels, both planes are in the air, so someone had to inform him or ask him about it to ensure he would not be traveling that day. It may have seemed like no big deal, "Hey Boss, we are going to be using Air Force One for a photo op and fly around NYC. Don't worry about it, the authorities know about it and it will be escorted the whole way."

To claim total ignorance to it is hard to believe. You have only 2 planes and you cant go anywhere this day. I'm sure due to the security reasons, with it being unavailable for an emergency that would require him to use the plane, someone, if not Obama was aware.

Bottom line it was extremely stupid on the governments part! What if someone was hurt, trampled or killed during the panic that was caused? Very Irresponsible!
