President Obama has ordered a review of that spectacularly dumb fly-by over lower Manhattan that panicked thousands of workers still shell-shocked from 9/11.

Excuse me while I do a little happy dance. Whenever I hear any federal politician seriously explore responsibility to the taxpayer, I'm nearly bowled over by the novelty.
