Claremont McKenna Trustee Resigns from Obama Administration After Approving Fiasco

I noted a few months ago that CMC trustee, Louis Caldera, had joined the Obama administration as the Director of the White House Military Office.

Today, the White House announced that Caldera has submitted his resignation after approving the Scare Force One fiasco that terrified thousands of New Yorkers and cost the taxpayers over $328,000. To make matters worse, the photos taken during the publicity stunt are being withheld from the public. To make matters even worse, a FAA memo shows that they knew the photo-op would terrify New Yorkers, but decided to proceed anyways.


Mayor Bloomberg, for his part, was upset the flyover.
