Louis Caldera, Director of the White House Military office, has stepped down from his job following outrage over the more-or-less unannounced flyover of Ground Zero in late April.
Update 5/9:
Your tax dollars at work:
That, and it cost White House Military Office chief Louis Caldera his job. As well it should.White House officials said the flight was designed to update the official photo of the plane, known as Air Force One when the president is aboard. The White House released a photo of the blue-and-white plane high above the Statue of Liberty, with New Jersey in the background.[...]
The Air Force estimated the photo shoot cost taxpayers $328,835.
When Obama appointed Caldera to the job during the presidential transition, the then president-elect hailed Caldera as having a resume that was second-to-none. Obama said then: "I know he'll bring to the White House the same dedication and integrity that have earned him the highest praise in every post."His resignation takes effect May 22.
I wonder how much they’re spending on new china to replace what the Bushes bought just before they left the WH.
Three hundred thousand plus for a picture. What we need is a tea party.
