Obama Refuses to Release NYC 'Air Farce One' Pix

There's $328,835 down the drain.

The White House ("Barack Obama, president") is refusing to release to the public any of the photos or film shot last week in the "Air Farce One" incident over New York City.

The photos have not technically been "classified," a White House aide said, but they are being kept from public view.

New Yorkers said they could not understand how a president who shares intimate snapshots from the White House could justify keeping these secret.

"So we're not gonna see the fruits of this cruel joke?" said Frank Antonelli, 39, one of the Wall Street traders spooked by last week's flyover. "I'm not surprised. Obama . . . wouldn't further all the bad publicity by putting out those pictures."

Hey, Chief, the damage is done. You might as well put out a couple of T-shirts to sell.

At a discount, of course. We, the People, have already paid for them.
