Another Obama photo snafu?

Last week Barack and Michelle Obama hosted a reception for visiting foreign dignitaries at New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art. Over the course of the evening, the president, whose "amazingly consistent" smile created a viral video, and first lady posed for over 130 photographs with their guests, all of which were later posted to the State Department's Flickr page.

This caused a problem: Included was a shot of the Obamas posing with Spanish Prime Minister José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero, his wife Sonsoles Espinosa, and two daughters, Laura, 16, and Alba, 13, who've never had photographs of themselves published previously in print or online due to a Spanish law prohibiting the media from doing so. The photo of Zapatero and his family with the Obamas was quickly removed from Flickr at the request of the Spanish government but still lurks online (in the shot seen here their faces are blurred). The flap is adding concerns on the issue of the privacy of world leaders' children in the digital age.

New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg is "furious" over a Department of Defense low-altitude flyover of NYC in the area around Ground Zero this morning, calling it "ill-conceived" and a "waste of taxpayers' money."

With what the city, state will have to pay not as much as people think. Hopefully corporate sponsors will be enough to pay the cost of the construction. If not the city of Chicago will be stuck holding the bag.

That said hope Chicago does get the bid. Will definitely go to see some of the events.

Maybe some people stayin' here 'cause we're only a short 3 hours away (assuming Chicago doesn't have enough hotel space???). The Coliseum could even be used as a possible Olympic venue, since not all events take place in the host city. At any rate, at least our state would benefit somewhat.

Wow a country freed from a dictator is a snafu. One that has had free elections. One that has the Iraqi's taking more responsibility daily in there country.

How many were lost in Vietnam where we left because we didn't want to upset China. That is a snafu. Or the tie on the Korean peninsula that over 50 years later keeps 30+ K troops on the front line....that is a snafu.

Compare the photo snafu to 1) the Iraq war 2) The financial system collapse 3) 9/11 and Bush sitting there when told of the attack 4) the response to Katrina ... crap I could go on!

Bush was one big snafu that was illegit, put in office by the Supreme Court ... that is the biggest snafu of all times.
