$328,835 Photo-op

So, the White House official who authorized the wasted tax payer monies for the $328,835 photo-op of Air Force One flying above New York City resigned Friday. The flyover created panic in the streets and flashbacks of 9-11. The man supposedly responsible for all this, Louis Caldera, said the controversy had "made it impossible for me to effectively lead the White House Military Office," which is responsible for presidential aircraft.
So it has been released that there was an internal White House investigation finding supposedly missed messages and has portrayed an out-of-the-loop Caldera as "clearly the administration's fall guy".
Fall guy is the correct terminology, and you can't tell me that the moron in the oval office knew nothing of all this.....yeah right!
The former Army secretary in the Clinton administration said he didn't know Air Force One would fly at 1,000 feet during the photo shoot which had been planned weeks before it happened. Oh now get this one.....he also failed to read an e-mail message describing the operation and seemed unaware of the potential for public fear. Where are your heads you idiots! Use them for something more than a hat rack!
Obama called the White House embarrassment a "mistake" and vowed it would not be repeated. Really??? I'm sure you can figure out somewhere else to squander the tax payers money without having to think about it too hard!
Now here's the final blow, Caldera's office approved the photo-op, which cost $35,000 in fuel alone for the plane and two jet fighter escorts. The Air Force estimated the photo shoot cost taxpayers $328,835. Hard earned taxpayers money being flushed down the proverbial toilet without even a thought of the hardships people of this country are already facing...and they had the gall to criticize the hundreds of thousands of people who showed up at the Tea Parties across the country on April 15th.
Of course we have been assured that there is a logical reason for all this, and here it is......
Caldera said he hadn't seen the e-mail because he has two official accounts (big deal, I have 6 accounts I check every single day), and he was suffering from severe muscle aches and had been prescribed pain medication. Well, unless you were taking an entire frigging bottle every morning before you went to work, this is absolutely NO EXCUSE!
Well America.....here is just one more example of the inept bozos we have running this country and is evidence to the fact as to why some animals eat their young!
God Help Us!
