| | Air Force One Flies over Ground Zero For a photo op of Obama's plane with the Statue of Liberty. It had every one running all over the city in a panic.
My question is how much of my tax dollars did this cost when I could have done it for them in Photo Shop for less than $100?

| | I assure you that I can Photo Shop Air Force One flying by the Statue of Liberty just as well (if not better) than the real deal. If I can -- surely the White House knew someone that could have done that. | | |  | Senior Member | | Join Date: Oct 2008 Location: The Motor City - Detroit, Michigan

Hey, that's a good reason to blow a million bucks, right?

A Million Dollars? More? | Damn OH, you come cheap! If I know I am working for Prez BO, the man who does not know the difference between a trillion an a Brazilian and who prints money like toilet paper, I think I would bill him at least the cost of a 747 with Air force One decals on the side for my Photoshop services. He would not know the difference. | | |  | HMFIC | | Join Date: Oct 2008 Location: SE Texas Age: 55

| | The idiots occupying the White House must really believe 911 was in inside job and have no idea why the people in NY would be concerned with a jumbo jet perused by military fighter jets. | | |  | Premium Member | | Join Date: Feb 2009 Location: East Texas Age: 53

A Million Dollars? More? | I would guess that they would always top off the tank on any Presidents Plane before flying anywhere. A 747/400 holds 57285 gallons. Jet fuel is roning around $3.50 a gallon. Paying his entourage in the air with him. Not to mention the two fighter jets, all of the on allert personel. I would guess around a half a million bucks, possibly more if he was craving french pastry. Hell their in the plane anyway. Why not go to Paris and get a donut.
