Anniversary post lest we forget: April 28, 2009

This remains a stunning example of two things. Obama’s raw contempt for the USA, and the media’s ability to take something huge and just snap it out of everyone’s memory.

Ask people if they remember this event. Describe it in detail. When they don’t, show them this. The reaction is interesting.

  1. I remember it and a million other slights. Yet my more liberal friends totally have forgotten.

    Sick world out there.

  2. Thank you for remembering, Eeyore.

    0bama’s willingness to subject America to such cruelty goes beyond madness or hatred.

    I will leave it to this site’s readers to imagine the level of evil involved.

  3. I know many people cringe when I say Obama and company hate the US and tried to destroy us, actions like this prove my statements, all you have to do is look at the pattern of his actions and you don’t find anything designed to help the US, only hurt us.

  4. Was going to pass the video around but unfortunately it won’t play. an error occurred. Please try again later (Playback id: 3380PFQdRweBr0CV)

  5. I understand people, even the arch-leftist Schummer, being appalled by this event; but was Obama on that plane, and if not, what measure of responsibility does he bear for it, aside from his ex officio one as president?

      • Really?
        “President Barack Obama was not on board the aircraft during the incident…[He said that he] did not know about the flyby until after it happened, and he stated, “It was a mistake. It was something we found out about along with all of you.”

        Richard, your sources may be better than Wikipedia. Can you share them?

        • I have better things to do then to spend time digging data for a troll, go peddle your BS elsewhere.

          • That was very unjust. Because I question your undocumented assertions you feel free to call me a troll? Seeing how much time you spend on the internet, linking videos and all, and given your categorical statement that Obama was on and/or knew about the flight, I thought it would be no more than a matter of a minute or two for you to give a link support it. I didn’t ask you to spend a lot of time offering evidence to back up what you say, and I did so in a polite way.

            • It’s ironic, actually.
              Richard tells me to go peddle my BS elsewhere. Sounds so similar to the leftist fascists who say that the only right they will grant to anyone who questions them is the right to remain silent.

              • Just out of idle curiosity were you the one who changed the Wikipedia entry or was it one of your friends.

    • Johnhenry:”I understand people, even the arch-leftist Schummer, being appalled by this event; but was Obama on that plane, and if not, what measure of responsibility does he bear for it, aside from his ex officio one as president?”

      The “arch-leftist Schummer,” is appalled by this event???
      Is that supposed to counterbalance anything? Maybe directed at what you perceive are “people” who are immature arch-rightists? Well, the insult had its affect!

      Richard reacted with an unconsidered and inaccurate post, and then did not help himself by not admitting his error and citing poor little Alfie made him do it. The Gay in you brought out the Gay in him.

      But hey, that is the modus operandi of the surplanted ego. The submission in a muslim would do this exactly the same way: seek out draw out from their prey the submission of a dhimmi, a ‘resistance to evil,’; and then pounce. Righteous before all those they upset. The real motive behind your post lacquered with venom? Can you admit that?

      But anyway; for reference clarity, are you name-dropping this particular Schumer?:

      “In 1990, Schumer helped create a diversity visa program that offered green cards to 50,000 applicants annually via a lottery system. As Breitbart.com reports: “Lottery winners undergo a State Department interview and health check, and can then bring their spouses and minor children to the United States and get them on a five-year track to citizenship. Once a winner and a spouse become citizens, they can import their parents, their in-laws and their children, plus the parents of their in-laws, such as the winner’s spouse’s sister’s husband’s parents. In turn, the relatives can later become citizens and import their relatives. The chain-migration process does not set any skill tests for admission…. Schumer’s diversity visa plan was included in the House-approved ‘Family Unity and Employment Opportunity Immigration Act of 1990’ when it was combined with a proposal by a Democra[t] from Boston. The resulting ‘Schumer visa’ measure was included in the completed Immigration Act of 1990, which also raised the annual inflow of legal immigrants up from 500,000 up to 700,000.”

      One noteworthy winner of this lottery program in 2010 was Sayfullo Habibullaevic Saipov, a Muslim immigrant and ISIS supporter from Uzbekistan. Seven years later — on October 31, 2017 — Saipov used a rental truck to mow down and kill eight people (and injure at least twelve others) in a busy New York City bike path as an act of jihad.”

      • Yucki, there are many who drop pebbles in ponds to see what damage their ripples can do.

        The pedophile will upset and then rescue the weakest child.
        The homosexual with caustic wit rips through the fabric of good taste for the insecure holding on to their outward norms for security.
        The muslim will “yes boss” their way to detect the correct dhimmi response to make a home in them.
        The Communist will send out a collective-answer that is completely absurd but is fully believed by the herd.

        They find undeveloped minds to feast on.

  6. It was the President’s official jet. It goes where he orders it. Obama gave a few answers about it. One, was that it was a “photo op” that he knew about and did order. But when the mayor of NY, a Democrat at that, launched into him saying that the FAA instructing NOT to tell the local authorities this happened, something I would think only a very high level executive could do, he started doing the aw shucks act claiming he just found out about it on TV just like everyone else.

    Thats a rhetorical trick he used quite often actually. I believe Ben Ghazi was another attempt at that bit of slight of hand. We all know the truth now though.

    As for us being the same as the left JH, notice you are still here.

    • Thanks I know better then to feed the trolls but my anger at the Brits murdering little Archi got the better of me, sorry.

      • I came across this passage in the Guidelines for Posting on a top-rated blog. It may not apply to comments on this thread, but it might be useful for future reference.
        ….
        “In Internet slang, a troll is a person who sows discord on the Internet by starting arguments or upsetting people, by posting inflammatory,[1] extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community (such as a newsgroup, forum, chat room, or blog) with the intent of provoking readers into an emotional response[2] or of otherwise disrupting normal, on-topic discussion,[3] often for the troll’s amusement.”

        They target sites for mischief. They get off on replies, any kind of attention. They fancy themselves the agent in control of a thread. Moderators do their best, but stuff gets through.
        ?• Don’t encourage a troll, don’t reply, that’s usually enough.?
        • If it persists, please notify the moderator.

      Close fly-by for deep-pocket PAC pals. Who cares about the ground clutter?

    It was Obama’s “Mission Accomplished” “Coup d’état” message to his friends.

    “The Inauguration of George Washington, 1789”

    Excerpt: Taking the Oath of Office

    Washington remained at his New York residence for a week while the House and the Senate ironed out their differences over how the formal inauguration should be conducted. Finally, on April 30, Washington was escorted to Federal Hall on Wall Street and into the Senate Chamber. Washington, Vice President John Adams, the Senators and Representatives stepped out of the chamber onto a balcony overlooking the street filled with a cheering crowd. As there were as yet no Supreme Court Justices, the Oath of Office was administered by Chancellor Robert R. Livingstone – New York’s highest ranking judge. After taking the oath, Washington and the others returned to the Senate Chamber where the new president gave a short speech.

    The Inauguration of George Washington – April 30, 1789

        • “We Mutually Pledge To Each Other Our Lives, Our Fortunes, And Our Sacred Honor”

    • Biggest takeaway from the clip?

      One of the very last lines about [no spoiler] how “it’s just the start of the story”.

      Unlike any other country on earth, the United States of America has embarked upon a Democratic, sociopolitical voyage of unprecedented proportions. Given that, in the bare two centuries of this Republic’s existence, it has created assembly lines, standardized digital telecom protocols, fabricated solid state integrated circuits, safely returned astronauts from numerous voyages to the MOON, not to mention winning World Wars, orbiting a network of GPS satellites, inventing atomic weapons, and protecting the right to keep and bear arms (not necessarily in that precise order).

      America’s astonishing achievements are a direct reflection of the Constitutional Rights it accords it citizens and the level of transparency it demands of its government. No other nation on earth has done this in any similar measure or timeframe and it demonstrates the muscular strength of free market entrepreneurial Capitalism. Full Stop.

      As someone who professionally edited (and made key contributions to) an almost 2,000 page manuscript about the legal origins of “Natural Born Citizen”—in which it profiled all signatories of the Declaration of Independence—I can safely attest to the massive personal sacrifices that people like George Washington (especially) and the other Founding Fathers experienced during their quest for America’s liberty.

      Only classical music can lay greater claim to the contributions of more “Dead White Men” when it comes to its overall attainment of excellence. As an aside: It is ironic in the extreme that Asian classical violinists like Midori and Chang are doing more to preserve the Western European Orchestral tradition than few others aside from virtuosos like Anne-Sophie Mutter.

      I’ll stop now …

  8. The NY Daily News is critical, but relates that O was not aboard the plane. I only want to know where Mr. Trump was and what his reaction was!
    http://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/president-obama-calls-air-force-flyover-mistake-day-low-flying-plane-terrifies-new-york-article-1.359815 New York Senator Chuck Schumer has written to Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood asking that the public be given at least 48 hours notice of any future low-altitude flights.

    http://www.nydailynews.com/news/make-your-own-air-force-flyover-photo-article-1.359730 The cost of flying one of Obama’s official planes – a pimped-out Boeing 747 – along with an F-16 jet over the city cost upwards of $300,000 in taxpayer dollars- In comparison, the latest deluxe version of Adobe Photoshop “CS4 Extended” costs $999.

    The Police Department confirmed that it had been notified about the event but said it had been barred from alerting the public.
    flyover, which began around 10 a.m
    President Obama was not aboard the plane, nor was he in the New York area. He gave a speech at 9 a.m. at the National Academy of Sciences in downtown Washington.
    It was not the first time that flyovers had left anxiety in Lower Manhattan.
    In February 2002, two Air Force F-16 fighters flew low over Manhattan as they made their way back to Atlantic City after a regular patrol. Officials later acknowledged that “the timing and location” of the flyover were “poorly coordinated.” And in May 2003, a Continental Airlines flight carrying American troops returning from Iraq received permission to fly low around the city, a decision that also rattled nerves.

    Even the markets dipped shortly after 10 a.m., though it was unclear if the alarm over the planes was a factor. Starting at 10:02 a.m., three main market indexes started dropping precipitously. The Dow Jones industrial average dropped 40 points in 10 minutes, starting 10:15 a.m., before it rebounded more than 50 points.

    In Jersey City, construction workers were evacuated from a condominium tower under construction at 77 Hudson Street. The workers, who were on the 32nd floor of the construction site, said the plane circled three times past the Goldman Sachs tower, the tallest building in New Jersey. On the second pass, they said, the jet appeared to be only a few dozen feet from the building — close enough to clip the side of the skyscraper. A fighter followed right behind, mirroring its moves.The construction site as were other buildings in downtown Jersey City, including offices in the Exchange Place financial complex.
