WASHINGTON, May 8, 2009 – The director of the White House Military Office has submitted his resignation in the wake of an April 27 aerial photo shoot with a presidential aircraft over New York City.
Louis Caldera, who served as secretary of the Army during the Clinton administration, resigned his office effective May 22.
“I have concluded that the controversy surrounding the Presidential Airlift Group’s aerial photo shoot over New York City has made it impossible to effectively lead the White House Military Office,” Caldera wrote in his letter of resignation.
President Barack Obama has accepted the resignation, White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said.
“The president has asked his deputy chief of staff, Jim Messina, and Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates or his designee to jointly review the organizational structure of the White House Military Office and the reporting relationship of its components to the White House and the Air Force, and to make recommendations to him to ensure that such an incident never occurs again,” Gibbs said in a written release.
On April 27, a 747-200 aircraft that often carries the president flew over lower New York. An F-16 fighter followed and took photos of the aircraft with iconic structures such as the Statue of Liberty in the background. The aircraft flew as low as 1,000 feet, and many New Yorkers believed they were seeing a repeat of the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, that killed 3,000 people at the World Trade Center.
The flyover caused much consternation on the ground, with many people in Lower Manhattan and across the river in New Jersey evacuating their buildings.
A review of the incident by the White House counsel’s office found “structural and organizational ambiguities” within the White House Military Office and urged a comprehensive study of the organization.
Somehow, I bet it was Assad. Assad was out of the Syria and his theme was what conditions he sees as a prerequisite for peace with Israel. Netanyahu coming to DC a few weeks later.
I realize AF One didn’t fly into Vienna in broad Daylight. But somehow, he was brought here for the “sensitive” negotiations they so love. The Plane was involved. Trip home on AF One, a Royal wish, something.
Can we *confirm* (not with a press release) the true whereabouts of Assad or Obama that day and the Sunday before? Any ideas how to confirm or debunk my theory??
Was Obama or Assad anywhere the day or two before that can be confirmed beyond reasonable doubt.
The accused Bush I of the “October surprise”. You don’t look behind the door unless you’ve hidden there yourself.
As Senator Inoye taught us, “the seriousness of the charge is why it must be investigated”.
Did Obama have Assad or other Muslim leaders flown over ground zero on a sightseeing trip? Who was on the plane?
I agree. Was it George Lucas enjoying the ride while his film crew was on the ground getting footage? Was it King Abdullah or some other Saudi Royal? Who got the joy ride over Manhatten and why? Today's release of info answers almost nothing.

The structural and organizational ambiguity found by Whtie House counsel was Louis Caldera underneath a bus.

Truman reportedly had a placard on his desk that read, “The Buck Stops Here.”
The lawn jockey needs one that reads, “the buck better not even get close.”
and the glaring obviously missing question, that nobody in the L$M will Ask, is WHO REQUESTED THE FLIGHT???
AIR FORCE ONE
No matter where in the world the President travels, if he flies in an Air Force jet, the plane is called Air Force One. Technically, Air Force One is the call sign of any Air Force aircraft carrying the President. In practice, however, Air Force One is used to refer to one of two highly customized Boeing 747-200B series aircraft, which carry the tail codes 28000 and 29000. The Air Force designation for the aircraft is VC-25A.
of course he knew!
ZO is the way to GO! I wonder if Rush has played “Under the Bus”?
I wonder what they promised Caldera (or threatened him with) for him to deny that Rahm Enamuel knew all about this.
Bet ther is a sign that reads, “The Bus is to the right. GET UNDER IT!”
ZERO ordered this ridiculous Flight! It is so Obious! No One in their right mind would do something so ridiculous! of course, unless, ORDERED TO DO IT! and that ORDER by Definition always comes Directly from the POTUS! But since America has NO POTUS! the ORDER then comes directly from the TELEPROMPTER OF THE UNITED STATES! NO ONE ELSE!! and certainly NOT some two bit Asst. to the Asst. to the Asst. to the DEAD FISH!!:-)
Consider the stonewalling on “passenger list” and it makes me think this was just a joy-ride of nobama’s buddies and maybe even him along. Someday we’ll find out that this included the regular pimp ride stuff, Hos and coke.
Release ONE photo???? this was no photo shoot, that was just a cover story they came up with after “things” hit the fan.
Rosa Brooks needs to resign also, since she is also privy to that kind of information.
