Remember when the Obama administration terrorized New York?

Washington Times

The White House finally released the rest of the photos and information last Friday regarding the $357,000 photo op. This was in response to Freedom of Information Act requests filed by many back in the Spring – you can check out the release here.

You know, Friday afternoon White House press releases are a curious thing. The original photograph of the “Terror” was similarly released on a Friday afternoon. The reason is obvious: it’s a deliberate attempt to avoid the weekend news cycle, with the hope that the story will die by the beginning of the new week.

This is telling about the Obama White House – late Friday news stuff is information that they must release, but really don’t want folks to know about. The Air Force One photo op was a disaster, with many unanswered questions. Of course the the fawning lackeys of the MSM have given a complete pass to the White House – and seemingly always will.

Can you imagine if George Bush was in the White House when the “Terror” happened? A host of investigative reporters would be frothing out of their mouths and the leftist blogosphere would be ranting about some kind of conspiracy theory.

But there are unanswered questions:

1) Why did the White House take months to release this information?

2) Why was Mr. Gibbs absolutely clueless (or acted clueless) when questioned by the press? You would think that after thousands of New Yorkers were terrified out of their minds, he would have been ready with a statement.

3) Why was White House responsibility in this mess revealed so late in the day?

4) Why was there just a press statement? With the President who is seemingly on the air 24 hours a day (and likes it that way), it would seem that he should have made a personal statement informing the American people (especially the people of New York), with the facts about the incident accompanied with a personal apology.

I am sure that there are more questions out there. I’ll give one more: will the fawning lackeys of the MSM ever hold the Obama White House accountable?
