Washington – The $328,835 snapshots of an Air Force One backup plane buzzing lower Manhattan last week will not be shown to the public, the White House said.

“We have no plans to release them,” an aide to President Obama said and refusing to comment further.
The sole purpose of the secret photo-op, which sent thousands of New Yorkers running for cover, was to take new publicity shots of the presidential jet over the city.
“The photos . . . are classified — that’s ridiculous,” Councilman Peter Vallone Jr., said.
New Yorkers said they could not understand how a president who shares intimate snapshots from the White House could justify classifying these.
“So we’re not gonna see the fruits of this cruel joke?” said Frank Antonelli, 39, one of the Wall Street traders spooked by last week’s flyover.
“I’m not surprised. Obama . . . wouldn’t further all the bad publicity by putting out those pictures.”
Its obvious – as it was a secret photo op, no one is allowed to see the photos! It may come into terrorist hands who will then know what to target.
This is the first cut of the $100,000,000 to the White House Budget as promised by The President
Don’t need the pictures; that’s what Photo Shop is for.

wAIT A SECOND WATERBOARDING SECRETS AND THEIR VIDEOS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE REALSED. He also wants to sue the lawyers who wrote this contract but oh don’t you dare show the pictures even though it scared most of N

2) Heugo Chavez…
3) not working CD’s for Gordon Brown
we almost forgot all those apointees that had to be backed off etc. etc.
That’s ok, there are lawsuits already filed for this to be released under the Freedom of Information Act. Can’t wait for him to lose this one…. and again in 2012!
Something else was going on that day. It just doesn’t make any sense to fly AF1 and 2 fighter jets at a cost of upwards of 300K for some pictures. Now he won’t release them? Something else was going on.
How about these pictures “mysteriously” disappearing?! You can’t really get away with that these days, but I’m sure they’re wishing they could!
He can’t release them because these pictures don’t exist.There was no photo op here it was a joy ride for some special obama people and they got a close up of the statue of liberty.
The truth will come out I’m no cospiricist but I believe their isa major cover up going on here.
the 0bama administration did not realise in advance the fall out in NYC over this and are covering it up with this photo op nonsense.
he is having fun with our tax money and his temp toys. President Obama Says: Who said I was supposed to run a country? Oh thats what it says on the Job Description?, I’m here just for Making History i dident have to sign that, because they couldn’t get my birthplace verified so they skipped the whole procedure.
Is it a spelling mistake in the title?…
Its was only a aficomen present for the president kids they ask dad can you give us a joy ride on that plane and he give it to them I wonder what music they had blasting in there it most have looked like that clip from you tube
