Administration officials said planning started in mid-March and told the FAA to make the air space available, which they did.
It was the best and brightest that run this fair city that took no action or communication and let the chicken-little effect occur.

FOX, the anti-obama network, reported exactly that. All the authorities that needed to know were well informed.
My question is that in light of the FACT that obama has been creating NEW spending at the rate of $2 billion dollars an HOUR in his first 98 days. Did we really need to spend another $50,000, to $100,000. for a few snapshots? And overload NYC's sewage system for a few hours?
