How to save a few hundred thousand bucks

After hearing so much about the Whitehouse's "Glamor Shot" of our Air Force One flying over the air space of Ground Zero at just over a thousand feet, many have screamed about the waste of money. The money wasted is a shame, but it is a mere pittance in comparison to the absurd wasting of our money by the new administration. Hardly detectable, yet another slap in the face.
After hearing Pres. Obama state that he was unaware of the plans for the flight, I had one thought. That was; What is worse, he did know and is lying, or he really didn't know? My answer is, please tell me he's lying.
I'm keeping this one light though. This morning I thought to myself, what could I pull off by limiting myself to five minutes with Google and no more than 20 minutes in PhotoShop? There, of course has been, many of people trying this out...some serious and some silly. Some of the joke ones are a riot. Definitely, some of the serious ones are fantastic, some people are quite skilled at PhotoShop. I'm not one of them, but I do find it fun. So below is what I came up with in less time then it took me to write this quick article...which as you can tell, wasn't much time at all...
Given another 20 minutes in Google to select better images with which to work, I'm certain I could have done much better. By the way; One picture...I imagine they took a few "rolls" of film...errr...Gigs of digital images. Where are the rest? I want a larger version so I can make a wallpaper for my work PC.
