- paintgrl, on 04/27/2009, -60/+468Here is another reason I like Obama as a President, he actually reprimanded someone for doing a bad job. Heck he may even fire people for bad work. Who have thunk it?
- niradg, on 04/27/2009, -17/+277So he didn't tell Caldera that he was doing a heckuva job?
- Echota, on 04/27/2009, -22/+280FTA:
Caldera was called into a meeting with White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel and deputy chief of staff Jim Messina.
"It didn't sound like a fun meeting," the White House official says.
And I bet it wasn't! - dlan4327, on 04/28/2009, -21/+252"The Chief of Staff will see you now"
*Caldera opens door, enters*
*Just before door swings shut* "SERIOUSLY WHAT THE FU-!" - phrenzy, on 04/28/2009, -20/+234Okay, I can only imagine this would go something like:
Obama: "I'm going to kick your ***** ass!"
Caldera: "I'm sorry, Mr. President."
Obama: "No, don't just be sorry, think for one ***** second. What the ***** are you doing? Are you professional or not? Do I ***** walk around and dri- no, shut the ***** up Rahm, do I-no! No! Don't shut me up. Am I going to walk around and drive your ***** tanks around? In the middle of a war? Then why the ***** are you flying around New York City 'a-tada-tada' like this in the skyline? What the ***** is it with you? What don't you ***** understand? You got any ***** idea about- Hey! It's ***** traumatizing having somebody flying up behind the buildings in the middle of ***** ground zero!!! Gimme a ***** answer. What don't you get about it? ... ***** sake man you're amateur..." - UselessTrivia, on 04/28/2009, -2/+190Holy *****, how did anyone ever think this was even remotely a good idea?
I know they didn't think of it in those terms when they put it together, but come on...you've involved fighter jets, a massive airliner and a low fly-by over the new york skyline...shouldn't those elements maybe trip some sort of "hey, this is a retarded ***** idea" switch in a persons head?
What's more, how did the people they cleared this with in New York not tell them to just ***** off because it's a terrible idea. - Anomaly100, on 04/28/2009, -25/+211Even though New York was told of this before it happened and got the heads up, President Obama's people took responsibility.Well, that's definitely something new. I'm not used to that from the Oval Office during the last 8 years.
- TheDiggAbides, on 04/28/2009, -5/+173"You guys these pictures are AWFUL! Fly lower next time!"
- Airbear007, on 04/27/2009, -15/+162"It didn't sound like a fun meeting," the White House official says.
Wow no ***** - davidsmero, on 04/28/2009, -12/+141Talk about a waste of money. I wonder if they ever heard of Photoshop.
- Kinak, on 04/27/2009, -15/+142Getting chewed out by Rahm Emanuel? The perfect end to a perfect day. Ouch.
- winter360, on 04/28/2009, -4/+119he's not mad, just disappointed
- disgruntled, on 04/28/2009, -1/+97i think we was implying that the door swung shut and cut the word off.
- alphaterminus, on 04/28/2009, -9/+96He'd be like a parent that wouldn't throw things around and beat the ***** out of you but tell you how disappointed he is in you and how you let him down, which is 10 times worse.
- mirot, on 04/28/2009, -4/+82I can't picture Obama furious
- wellstd1, on 04/28/2009, -1/+78"The Statue of Liberty had her eyes closed again!"
- Firstdaughter, on 04/27/2009, -9/+83Did anyone watch SNL this past weekend? Life imitates art once again a.k.a. "The Rock Obama" :D
http://www.nbc.com/Saturday_Night_Live/video/clips ... - iEATcatFOOD, on 04/28/2009, -16/+84I take it you were never beaten the ***** out of.
- felman87, on 04/28/2009, -5/+71Obama = Bale
Bale = Batman
Obama = Batman? - homercles337, on 04/27/2009, -4/+67Heh, heh, heh...Brownie...heh, heh, heh.
- ThreeDee912, on 04/28/2009, -10/+71Those 9/11 conspiricists are gonna be all over this one...
*Puts on his tin foil hat* - gcnaddict, on 04/28/2009, -3/+56It's funny because I can actually visualize Rahm saying those exact words (minus the censor).
- inactive, on 04/28/2009, -4/+56That is nice.
It seems that a common fallacy has taken hold that if you reprimand people, fire them, or don't give them bonuses for failure, then somehow the "best" people won't work for you and that you'll somehow be disadvantaged when hiring and retaining staff. - RadiatedAnt, on 04/28/2009, -3/+49*puts on his robe and wizard hat*
- sciencelovesyou, on 04/28/2009, -8/+51That damn teleprompter. Shot of whiskey in its hand, sitting in the corner, screen half-concealed by shadow, the dim red smoldering tip of a cigar illuminating its angry features. Voice like broken glass.
"MAKE THEM PAY, OBAMA."
"I... I don't need you teleprompter... I don't need you anymore..."
"MAKE. THEM. PAY." - ikaruja, on 04/28/2009, -0/+41"Its not your fault, it was our fault for believing in you."
- macfan93, on 04/28/2009, -2/+41Were the pictures good at least?
- Duskraven, on 04/28/2009, -13/+52at some point you have to question the country that elected a moron... Twice.
(see what i did there, i took what you said and made you sound like a tool). - wellstd1, on 04/28/2009, -6/+44Not to be some sort of conspiracy theorist but I have a feeling more is going to unravel because of this. The mayor of New York was upset that he was not informed, however someone from the FAA has come out saying that in fact the mayor was informed.
Not to mention the whole "don't tell the public" thing. Many things are wrong with this picture. - phrenzy, on 04/28/2009, -14/+50While there are clearly people (on this thread) who will depict ANYTHING that happens under the Obama administration as evidence of him being the anti-christ, I (an Obama voter and supporter) will say this: He needs to ***** apologize for this at his next press conference. It doesn't matter if he "knew about it" or even if he specifically authorized it before hand. The symbolism of this whole incident is unbelievable.
It is HIS goddamned plane and he needs to take responsibility for this, explain how this happened, and why it won't happen again. - schmit70, on 04/28/2009, -5/+41Amen. Spending money on "photo ops" in a global economic recession? This guy should be canned.
- Eagle193, on 04/28/2009, -3/+37Obama probably used the STFU look.
- mgraham80, on 04/28/2009, -12/+44Heckuva horrible job, Caldie.
- bigdoof, on 04/28/2009, -1/+32Because given past history, a large airliner flying extremely low, directly at the tallest building around, is something that you should actively avoid.
- bdogm, on 04/28/2009, -0/+30Do you know how much Photoshop costs!!?
- disgruntled, on 04/28/2009, -1/+30at risk of sounding like a 'truther', ive had that same thought. i have no idea what the motivation for such a staging would be but its just to much of an epic ***** to be true.
- Nonyaz, on 06/23/2009, -0/+29http://james.nerdiphythesoul.com/bennyhillifier/?i ...
- Tddupre, on 04/28/2009, -2/+29*puts on snuggie and cheesehead hat*
- disgruntled, on 04/28/2009, -1/+28exactly. at the very least this should have been broadcast on every local news network prior to the 'photo-op'
in any other city in the US this might be understandable (as an oversight) but for NY this is unacceptable.
still not saying it was a good idea but the public should have been made aware. - EchoMike, on 04/28/2009, -1/+28You and me, man, we're done professionally.
- Batfishy, on 04/28/2009, -11/+37Who are you speaking of? I'm not aware of the US having ever had a king, holiness or almighty.
Nice try but the polls show your particular brand of rhetoric isn't really successful. Popularity-contest wise. - alphaterminus, on 04/28/2009, -3/+28Yeah 1.5 middle fingers in your face every other word.
- BreatheRhetoric, on 04/28/2009, -0/+25Commercial jetliners dont fly up and down the hudson river at that altitude. I heard the jet from my building in jersey city and a bunch of my coworkers saw the jet...and promptly moved to get out of the building.
- disgruntled, on 04/28/2009, -4/+27Theres no words on there! F*** it we'll DO IT LIVE!!!
- JohnCrock, on 04/28/2009, -0/+23Yeah, in the background you can see scores of New Yorkers running for their lives. You can't photoshop that.
- bitterbug, on 04/28/2009, -1/+23They use the Cone of Silence, Presidential edition.
- ZombieSociety, on 04/28/2009, -0/+22I bet it's because the last time that happened, 3,000 people died. Just a thought.
- soggydave2113, on 04/28/2009, -3/+24worst ASCII ever
- iEATcatFOOD, on 04/28/2009, -6/+27wat.
- Mockylock, on 04/28/2009, -3/+24"Air force One and two fighter jets"... It's not Air Force One unless Obama is in it.
