Retrospect!!!! Could you name one person would would have heard about this brilliant $369,000 top secret mission and not said " Are you freaking nuts"? Not counting anyone in the Obama administration.

How many more times do we have to hear " mistakes were made" in the next 100 days.

Tickling is torture too. I hope we don't find out anyone was tied down and tickled with a feather.

It's because you conflate the issues. With the torture subject, the issue isn't whether there was a risk to life or not, the issue is a matter of ordering the torturing of subjects.

You're welcome to continue to act ridiculous and say things like "just trying to communicate with libs is torture" just because I used your own logic to prove you wrong. It merely helps me with invalidating your argument.

What's really stupid is that this screwup by Obama's people has now become a discussion about torture. This was a money wasting, idiotic thing to do. It has nothing to do with torture by past Administrations, the Japanese during WWII, or my son putting worms in buckets and either filling it with water and letting them drown or leaving it uncovered in the sun and letting them slowly die.

Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio

I agree w/you that its stupid (just as I said the flight was stupid). But so is trying to link the Pres. of the USA with the flight of his back up plane as if he controls everthing is stupid.

What it does Paul is indicate the kind of insensitive, stupid and hypocritical people he has chosen work for him. And the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
Lets close our eyes and envision what you would be saying if it had been McCain. You know what? It NEVER would have happened. Care to debate that?
Let's see the pictures that they took and the purpose for which they were taken. Release them now.

Yea, I think you're talking out of your ass.

I'd be willing to wager the exact same thing would have happened and McCain would have found out about it just like Obama appears to have...after the fact.

How much did Bush spend to stage that "Mission Accomplished" photo op? Hell, he had an entire US carrier group tied up probably all day.

Yea, and the insenstitive, stupid and hypocritical people Bush surrounded himself with have cost us a heck of a lot more than a few hundred grand and some scared voters.

It's almost like you're trying to distract everyone from the good economic news coming from the Fed and the Street.

It's like you're against the recovery of America.

Ever since the market started heading up, buckman hasn't had a daily metric to use to blame Obama for the economic crisis.

Your wrong Spence, any Whitehouse Director in the McCain administration wouldn't have dared pull a stunt like that. I'm still shocked that she still has her job. She shows such poor judgement.

And the leading economic indicators are mixed at best. I'm all for recovery. Just because I don't drink from the same glass as you, doesn't mean we both don't want the same thing. Let's just say I'm a skeptic. FYI the doesn't make me a racist either.

Bush was blamed for everything that anyone did, so whats the difference. Intelligent, no, but if he didn't know what was going on with his backup plane, then his admin is out of control.

Right, let's get back to the fact that they spent 360k panicking New York in what could only be described as idiotic and highly insensitive propaganda.
Something any high school kid could have accomplished with 15 minutes on the computor and Photoshop.
Could Mr. Transparency please tells us WTF it was for?
And let's not frorget the fact that a low flying plane sucked up a few birds and crashed into the Hudson River a few short weeks ago.

While the Clintons grew some vegetables in pots on the White House roof, the Obamas’ garden will far transcend that, with 55 varieties of vegetables — from a wish list of the kitchen staff — grown from organic seedlings started at the Executive Mansion’s greenhouses.

The Obamas will feed their love of Mexican food with cilantro, tomatillos and hot peppers. Lettuces will include red romaine, green oak leaf, butterhead, red leaf and galactic. There will be spinach, chard, collards and black kale. For desserts, there will be a patch of berries. And herbs will include some more unusual varieties, like anise hyssop and Thai basil. A White House carpenter, Charlie Brandts, who is a beekeeper, will tend two hives for honey.

The total cost of seeds, mulch and so forth is $200, said Sam Kass, an assistant White House chef, who prepared healthful meals for the Obama family in Chicago and is an advocate of local food. Mr. Kass will oversee the garden.

They forgot to tell how Michele is spending all her days out there tending it.

From what i heard today the only really good financial news came from the American people
spending. Prolly mostly their income tax rebate checks.
