Goodbye Louis Caldera?

Bumer!!!

It has been said that success has many fathers but failure is an orphan. Unfortunately, we are a society obsessed with this illusion of success. Yes, mistakes are made but real leaders take responsibility. In the end, these are the people we need when it counts because they have learned to make decisions and not just avoid them; learned how to deal with the pressures without being pressured; and learned how to maintain their integrity with a sense of humility. What are we teaching any organization or society as a whole when we continually tear down our leaders for taking responsibility for making a mistake. It leaves us with organizations filled with pseudo leaders whose resumes are built on the fact that they never supposedly made a mistake let alone took responsibility for anything. These are serious times and we need mature people who are willing to take responsibility for mistakes and learn from it. My concern is not with the one person who took responsibility. Rather, I am more concerned why he is the only one willing to say “it was me, I messed up, I take responsibility” Harry Truman famously said that “the buck stops here” which meant that he took on the final responsibility and that it ended with him, but that buck sure as hell passed thru a lot of other hands before it ever got to his desk.

I couldn't agree with you more!!! Thank you:)

good riddance!!!

he is either incredibly stupid, insensitive or both

I'm embarrased to say he went to my alma mater Harvard.

You are either incredibly stupid, insensitive or both!!!

get a life

USASurgeon - Your character is showing - how much do You pay for your malpractice insurance? Or are you perfect? People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones

I dont commit felony acts, that was abominable. Are you sure you went
to Harvard?

In case you can't read between the lines - It was the NY guys who did not do there job - they approved this and then did not thing to prepare their citizens for the flyover. Obviously NONE of the powers - FAA or NYC leadership - anticipated the reaction that occurred. Frankly I think it takes a true leader to take shoulder the responsibility - despite the fact that he was a couple of paces from it.

Luis made a mistake. He and OTHERS made this mistake. He is willing to be the scape goat. I am very proud of him for taking full responsibility unlike other people in Washington. YES, I am talking about Bush.

This has to be the most insensitive person on earth. How dare he not look beyond his little task and see there are 8+ million people in NYC that would be terrified by something like that. I am outraged. He should be fired.

Not too surprising since Caldera was a hack during his time as UNM's President. However, it must be noted that he was more or less a benign sycophant unlike the truly destructive President Schmidley. Too bad Schmid didn't get booted up to a position as useless as the White House Military Office during the Bush administration. His incompetence would have reached similar proportions and saved us the trouble of the Regents bringing their good ol' boy to UNM.
