Louis Caldera, the former White House Military Office chief who quit last month after approving that bizarre Air Force One photo op over Manhattan that frightened countless New Yorkers, has landed a job. He'll be a senior fellow focusing on higher education and national security matters at the Center for American Progress, run by John Podesta, a co-chairman of Obama's transition team.
Obama aides said at the time that the president was furious about the April 27 flyover, which included an Air Force One understudy and two F-16 military fighter aircraft flying over the Statue of Liberty and Lower Manhattan, not all that far from the site of the World Trade Center.

Well, lookee here. Louis Caldera lands a nice, cushy no-show job after agreeing to be the fall guy over the Scare Force One imbroglio. I wonder how much this deal is costing the taxpayers...

Just great, the man who authored an INDEMNIFICATION letter to the company making that harmful Anthrax Vaccine is now being rewarded yet again. I am utterly amazed that the brazeness of this administration for the total lack of holding anyone accountable for actions. This is but a small glimpse of many more even worse things to come.
Saudi backers aboard.
That kind of payoff from Clinton would be a bullet. Wanna bet "Friends of Bill" become "Friends of Barack?" If history asserts itself, within a few months this guy will become another tragic crime statistic so common in today's cities as he falls victim to a fatal mugging/carjack/home invasion or you name it.
Pays to ROLLOVER for Bammy!
When will they release the manifesto?
I still have a sneaky suspicion that some of Bozo’s family or friends took a day trip on air force one.
Where are the other pictures they took ?
When will this state run media start to do their job as a supposedly free media?
When will I win that lottery?
Correct and who was on that plane to see NY city skyline while being served on our tax dime?
Obama’s fall guy.

Has any enterprising reporter FOIA’d the passenger manifest? I am very skeptical this was a “photo op”.
So much for getting fired. If I ever get fired, I hope it goes like this.
“Okay. He “approved” the flight. Who requested it?”
I am SOOOOOO convinced that Malia, Sasha, and Grandma were on that flight. Don’t even try to talk me out of it!
They don’t stay under the bus very long, do they?
Obama needs to be in that pic.......
Says it all. "Progressing" us headlong into full implementation of The One's preferred blend of communism/socialism/fascism as penance for his mistake.
No way would I bet against it, no matter what odds you gave me.
I know several people like you that only bet on sure things and fixed horse races.
I agree with you 100%
