Capitol Hill Bureau Chief
Just before his meeting with FBI Director Robert Mueller this morning, President Barack Obama took a question from the press pool about yesterday's now-infamous Air Force One photo shoot over lower Manhattan.
The president responded, "It was a mistake, as was stated ... and it will not happen again."
Although the White House released an official apology yesterday from Louis Caldera, the director of the White House military office, this was the president's first comment on the matter.
Our New Approach to Comments
In an effort to encourage the same level of civil dialogue among Politics Daily’s readers that we expect of our writers –
a “civilogue,” to use the term coined by PD’s Jeffrey Weiss – we are requiring commenters to use their AOL or AIM screen names to submit a comment, and we are reading all comments before publishing them. Personal attacks (on writers, other readers, Nancy Pelosi, George W. Bush, or anyone at all) and comments that are not productive additions to the conversation will not be published, period, to make room for a discussion among those with ideas to kick around.
