I guess for their own! I am really not sure. Maybe to feed the paranoia!

The press needs something at this time to feed the public frenzy. They don't have a President who misspeaks and sounds like an idiot to pick on anymore.

Well, there was that fly-by of AF1 and a fighter jet by the Statue of Liberty.

If I was in NYC then, I probably would have been freaking out, too.

Some things are over-reported but that was one thing that should have been much more publicized.

They can't do that... gotta keep the man hidden behind the curtain for as long as possible.

Since only two schools have closed in SC so far because of this, and the other schools are continuing to play... there is even talk of them having to forfeit playoff games because they can't play when the school is closed.

Well, I guess he was hidden, then. The Prez wasn't on the plane, although technically if he's not on it, it's not considered "Air Force 1".
