These days everyone with a slightly conservative viewpoint that attempts to confront "politically-correct" world we live in is labeled: INSENSITIVE. You are:
- Insensitive to minorities
- Insensitive to gays and lesbians
- Insensitive to Muslims
- Insensitive to women
- etc....
Often however these are more or less just ways to try to curb free-speech. But having been raised in a midwest home, I always learned that ACTIONS speak louder than WORDS. Its one's actions that show your true feelings, as words are often just that....words. Many of us may say one thing, but do just the opposite or nothing at all. It's not until actions are added to the words that you can truly say that person is that thing or not.
Yesterday our President flew Air-Force-One at low altitude over New York City with 2 Air-Force fighter jets escorting it (at taxpayer expense mind you) for nothing more than a "photo-op". This was truly STUPID and INSENSITIVE. It caused panic in the streets and also on Wall-Street. The only people privy to this plan were the NY Police who were told to NOT tell anyone. Not even the mayor knew of the plan ( I am sure he would have told them to not do it). Apparently the information flow at the White House is so poor that not even "Clueless-Joe" Gibbs knew of the event until asked about it at a press conference.
Can you imagine the outrage if George Bush did this? The late-night comedians would be having a field-day! It would have been the lead story on NBC, instead it was left until the end of the newscast. This will obviously left off of Obama's 100-day accomplishment list ( Goal: Scare half of NYC to death..... CHECK!) and be buried under the so called swine-flu-epidemic stories.
The city of New York needs more than apology here Mr. President. Someone needs to get fired and fast before they pull another bone-headed maneuver at taxpayer expense.
Finally, Mr President I have one more word for your staff the next time they need a special picture of Air-Force-1 flying low over a major US city.....
