Obama's debt to Hollywood

Is this Obama's Haircut Equivalent?
It may have been the most expensive haircut in history.

Two of Los Angeles International Airport's four runways were shut down for nearly an hour on Tuesday, some incoming flights were delayed and Air Force One sat on the tarmac with engines running -- all so that President Clinton's Beverly Hills hairstylist, Chistophe, could come aboard and give Mr. Clinton a high-price trim before he took off for Washington.

How about a Hollywood movie!?

George Lucas is shooting an epic film
about the Tuskegee Airmen as we speak.

In the comments on my recent post regarding Operation Dumbass a discussion began about the different variants of the F16.

A couple of guys noticed the bright red tail on at least one of the F16s in the NYC fly-over.

This is where it gets interesting... http://thisainthell.us/blog/?p=10429

Payback to Lucas sure makes sense, which would mean that, like the self entitled Bill Clinton, the poseur Obama indulged himself at great financial ($357,000...) and emotional cost  to the nation, and New Yorkers.  

As an aside, the underground  story is that no  haircut by Christophe was involved.  Bill was getting a BJ from Barbra Streisand. True?  As democrats are wont to say, "The truth doesn't matter.  Only the perception of truth.

If that's what happened it would have been all ok if they'd announced it in advance and Lucas pays for it. Why is that so hard?

If they wanted to keep the movie part quiet until it came out that would have been cool, too. I think as a closing shot of the movie seeing AF1 overfly the SofL guarded by an F16 from that particular unit is a fantastic idea. It just could have been handled with more intelligence.

Sorry, AWM, but no go. If true, it's another example of the raw arrogance Obama's displayed since overthrowing the gummint (yes, I mean overthrow). Do you think for a moment Lucas was getting billed for this stunt, if that's what it was?

Wouldn't green screen be cheaper?

And less stupid?
