White House Aide Loses Job Over Flyover Fiasco
White House aide Louis Caldera loses job over Manhattan flyover fiasco involving Air Force One
By Kenneth R. Bazinet
DAILY NEWS WASHINGTON BUREAU
WASHINGTON - The White House aide who authorized the controversial Air Force One photo-op flight last week around the Statue of Liberty is out of a job.
President Obama has accepted the resignation of Louis Caldera, the director of the White House Military Office, the Daily News learned Friday.
A secretary of the Army in the Clinton administration, Caldera took the fall for the public relations fiasco arising from the April 27 flyover, which was designed to replace a publicity photo of Air Force One flying past Mount Rushmore with a similar shot of Obama's 747 jumbo jet over the Statue of Liberty.
Caldera's office insisted the flyover was a "classified" mission and should not be disclosed to the public, ensuring that thousands of New Yorkers would be blindsided by an event eerily reminiscent of the 9/11 terror attacks against the Twin Towers.
Federal officials notified Mayor Bloomberg's office and NYPD officials in advance, but Bloomberg was not informed, infuriating the mayor.

I wish he would take that grandstanding pimp with him! God knows I wish the First Black President had been a person of Honor and Honesty. So many better could have been there instead of him .. .. .. but, what can you do? He's there now, and we all have to live with it.
