So Air Force One scared the bejeezus out of New Yorkers today. While this isn't really huge news, it is yet another lapse of judgement for the Obama White House. So far I've agreed with most things that Obama has done but he keeps tripping over these matters of protocol. And in some cases, not paying attention to details has bitten him where it counts, most notably when they let bailout money go to CEO bonuses.

Hopefully President Obama and the White House corps is getting their act together but these gaffes are becoming troubling since they seem to be happening with such frequency. Even if they don't amount to much more than noise, the noise alone can be used to distract voters and possibly lead to a shake up in 2010. Let's get it together, people. We expect these kinds of gaffes out of VP Biden; it's not OK for everyone else to keep slipping up.
