The flyovers took place between 10-10:30 EST.
WH Press briefing took place at 14:23 EST.
Louis Caldera statement 16:39 EST.
Why did Robert Gibbs not know anything 6 hours later?
Why did it take Caldera 8 hours to make a statement?
How much time does it take to come up with a lie and a scapegoat?
And then barry says nothing until the next afternoon and only in response to reporter’s question. He still has not personally apologized to the folks on New York or New Jersey. Did he personally apologize to his buddy, Mayor Bloomberg?
This is what Robert Gibbs had to say-not say. Listen to how flip he is - he laughs like it’s funny he knows nothing and the press corps goes merrily along.
PRESS SECRETARY ROBERT GIBBS
Monday April 27th
Q Second question, do you guys feel you owe folks in New York City this morning an apology for this incident having to do with the airplane that looks like Air Force One with two fighter jets? There seemed to be a lot of panic –
MR. GIBBS: I would point you to the FAA or Air Force.
Q Everybody’s pointing us to the White House Military Office, so that’s why –
MR. GIBBS: Well, then I would contact the White House –
First off - no apology has been made by barry himself. Second, isn’t Gibbs the spokesman for the White House as in White House Press Secretary? And why is it funny? Watch the video below of NJ folks running - thinking there was an attack and listen to the panic in their voices. And the WH thinks it’s funny. Next Gibbs admits to seeing news reports but he’s going to have to go discuss things. What was he doing for 6 hours?
Q Well, the White House Military Office won’t tell us anything — they’ll refer us to you. (Laughter.)
MR. GIBBS: Well, then let me go discuss with the White House Military — I don’t – I have seen some news reports but --
Q What was the photo op for?
MR. GIBBS: I don’t know. That’s — I have no information on this other than what I saw –
So he saw it. He saw it and didn’t investigate it. And then he wants us to believe he didn’t anticipate the press would ask questions. If so, he is completely ignorant.
[...]
Q I mean, I understand the way this works. I’m just saying, appearance-wise, it’s odd that you guys don’t have a response. I mean, this is the President’s aircraft or what looks like –
MR. GIBBS: I understand. I was working on other things. You might be surprised to know I don’t know of every movement of Air Force One or what happens to it. But I will certainly talk to the Military Office.
Q — very edgy about it.
Q A follow-up?
MR. GIBBS: What’s that? No, let’s go to — yes.
Q As long as you’re taking questions that you’re going to get back to us on, on the flight of Air Force One, the aircraft this morning down along Lower Manhattan at a very, very low level, Mayor Bloomberg says he is furious, it was insensitive, poor judgment, and he would go all the way to the White House to stop it if he knew it was going to happen. Do you think it’s insensitive to have a big aircraft fly low over an area that — when it’s clearly such a trigger for them?
MR. GIBBS: Well, I’m going to find out this information based on Chuck’s question and we’ll try to get back to you with whatever details we can.
Did he get back to them? Yesterday’s press conference wasn’t any more enlightening.
POTUS doesn’t know about low-flying planes in NYC??
