You and I would be fired for this by now

Seriously?

The director of the White House Military Office, Louis Caldera, thought this was a good idea? A photo op for a plane that passes for Air Force One, along with an F-16… over Manhattan?

Seriously?

So if you and I agree that if we had been in the room when this photo op was dreamed up the idea would have been killed instantly, how come Caldera – and everyone around him? – lacked our brilliant foresight?

You can read more about this debacle here. Perhaps Caldera will be canned after all.

But allow me a key takeaway from a PR perspective:

-Don’t do anything that will be seen by thousands of people, if not millions, without your boss knowing about it

    I heard about this and I can’t imagine how scared some of the people would have been if they were there on (9/11). I also heard that people were running out of their buildings.
