I noticed none of the usual hit & run artists here bothered to comment on Louis Caldera's resignation or his explanation for how and why the breakdown in communication occurred with the AF1 photo op.

In case you missed it, here ya go...

No doubt the Obama detractors here will claim Caldera was a sacrificial lamb. :jerkit:

Guys from the CIA/FBI sources....The President of the United States Of America must always be informed of where Air Force One is at all time...A simple answer...In case of an emergency. ....the Pres is always informed of where his plane is at all times....Of course he knew where it was. If Air Force One is used for purposes such as it was, he is informed as to what the circumstances will be utilizing Air Force 2. STOP the fussing....He knew what was being done....NOONE( I repeat) NO 1 can take Air Force One for a photo-opt, joy ride(lol) etc... and the President is not informed of what is being done. This is documented information that every 1 is available to read.This azz hole who did this is now relieved of his duties and should be for scaring the hell out of thousands in NY.

Once again, "Air Force One" is just the air traffic control call sign used to designate ANY plane the sitting President is on board. The two modified 747's that usually have the Air Force One call sign assigned to them are maintained by the Air Force. Coordinating the flight schedules for the "Air Force" jets that serve as Air Force One is one of the duties of the "White House Military Office". This is why Louis Caldera was ultimately responsible for the New York photo op.

I can't dumb it down any more than that for you guys who actually believe the President of the United States spends his days coordinating the flight schedules of Air Force jets.

Trench I am not saying the Pres coordinates flight schedules???? What the hell are you talking about.....Let me make this clear...If Air Force One is for any reason is in for repairs or whatever, the Pres is informed that Air Force 2 is in effect to take him to his commands if need be. He knows what the HELL is going on with his emergency vehicles at all times. Dont be so stupid to think he did not know what Air Force was being used for......Trench, instead of giving your opinion, why dont you go look this info up and you will see what I am talking about. I take it you were not in the military but all Presidents know about their 2 planes and well informed.

I'll try to make this as simple as possible for you Skeeter but if it's still too complicated for you, let me know.

1. "Air Force One" is NOT a jet.

2. "Air Force One" is an Air Traffic Control call sign used when the President is onboard one of the two Air Force Boeing 747's used to transport him.

3. "Air Force Two" is an Air Traffic Control call sign used when the Vice President is aboard the Air Force Boeing C-32 and C-40 used to transport him.

4. Neither of the two Air Force 747's used to transport the President become "Air Force One" until the President is onboard.

5. As all of these jets belong to and are maintained by the Air Force, it's the job of the White House Military Office to coordinate the President's and Vice President's use of these jets.

6. The only possible scenario where the White House Military Office would have a need to inform the President of the whereabouts of the backup jet would be one where the President's travel itinerary might be disrupted because BOTH jets were unavailable for some reason. And that's never happened.

If the president was riding in an US Air force Piper Cub, or in a Cessna whatever, or even a Sopwith Camel, it's call sign BECOMES Air Force One.

If he should happen to ride around in a nuclear armed B-2 or a SR-71, that would be Air Force One, and it would be cool too.

.The President of the United States Of America must always be informed of where Air Force One is at all time...

Why, isn't that the job of the military and the secret service?

A simple answer...In case of an emergency. ....the Pres is always informed of where his plane is at all times....

Wrong again, IT'S THE AIR FORCE'S PLANE(S), NOT THE PRESIDENT'S

Of course he knew where it was. If Air Force One is used for purposes such as it was, he is informed as to what the circumstances will be utilizing Air Force 2.

WRONG AGAIN THERE SKIPPY, AIR FORCE 2 IS THE CALL SIGN ASSIGNED TO ANY PLANE THE VICE PRESIDENT IS RIDING IN.

STOP the fussing....He knew what was being done....NOONE( I repeat) NO 1 can take Air Force One for a photo-opt, joy ride(lol) etc... and the President is not informed of what is being done. NY.

DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHAT A PLANE IS OR THE FUNCTION OF THE US AIR FORCE IS, OR ARE YOU ONE OF THOSE FLAT-EARTH EVOLUTIONIST?
