Next Time We'll Photoshop

By now, you've seen the $328,835 photo of Air Force One flying over the Statue of Liberty. You've heard the apologies; you know about the resignation of the director of the White House military office, Louis Caldera.

It was an unfortunate event and I would like to put it behind us; it's time to move on.

With a projected deficit of $1.75 trillion by year-end, it goes without saying we cannot afford to spend that kind of money on a photo op.

You have to admit though, the photo was terrific. When times are tough, Americans need something to hold onto; something to make us feel proud.

That's why I am excited to share the following photos with you. I had a little free time last night after dinner, so I fired up the Photoshop and went to work. At a real-world cost of $328,835 each, I figure I saved the American taxpayers over $1.3 million in under a half hour.

And that's more than pocket change you can believe in.
