So after the Scare Force One debacle I am sure Obama and his team have been busy doing damage control. So this morning we get one of the biggest CYA PR events of the decade!!
Statue of Liberty will reopen on Fourth of July
Color my cynical but I imagine this was thrown together this week. And the July 4th re-opening of the crown will be an Obama – “Yes I am Patriotic” meme. And of course Obama will roll-out the Scare Force One photos and claim this was the intent all along. And the left will jump all over this as a “…see the right has spoiled the surprise!” Just watch – over the next few months Obama will deflect the public’s attention away from rising inflation, the Taliban in Pakistian, the failing banks, a bankrupt Chrysler (with GM not far behind)….Obama knows the summer of 2009 will very hot for his team.
Re-opening the Statue of Liberty on July 4th is a great slide of hand to take any MSM focus off the planned July 4th tea parties.

He's reopening the Statue of Liberty?
itrytobenice (Diary) Saturday, May 9th at 10:19AM EDT (link)Oh. Well, never mind all those bad things I said about him then. He must really be a patriot if he’s so in favor of Liberty that he’d do that.
I must have mis-judged him.

Maybe Obama will return the Statue of Liberty to France on July 4th?

Those who had once simpered: “I don’t want to destroy the rich, I only want to seize a little of their surplus to help the poor, just a little, they’ll never miss it!” – then, later, had snapped: “The tycoons can stand being squeezed; they’ve amassed enough to last them for three generations” – then, later, had yelled: “Why should the people suffer while businessmen have reserves to last a year?” – now were screaming: “Why should we starve while some people have reserves to last a week?” – Atlas Shrugged
Because of Obama
