A senior White House aide has quit over his role in presidential plane's low-level fly-past that caused panic among New York office workers.

A statement from the White House said President Barack Obama had accepted the resignation of military office director Louis Caldera.

The photo opportunity fly-past prompted the evacuation of number of offices.

The president has ordered a review to make sure such an incident is not repeated, the White House said.

They released the photo of what 328,835 taxpayer dollars was wasted on (http://www.nypost.com/seven/05082009/news/nationalnews/white_house_to_release_review_of_low_fly_168274.htm).

I guess The Administration felt they had to do this because they are not well versed in photoshop-fu

Hi,

This is significant to me.  Not the fact that he threw a guy under the bus; but rather it shows me just how sensitive BO is to criticism.  He showed no judgment at all, rather than take the responsibility himself and say he authorized the mission and now he wished he had a do over; instead he waffled and then created a fall guy.  I love it because as the criticism grows, he may find a lot of folks around him lose respect for him in the process.

On a personal basis, my first thought was what a A-hole BO is, like he must think the American public is stupid enough to believe he knew nothing about what was going on.  That is an insult!

This guy has no leadership experience and is quickly showing that he has no leadership ability.  Eventually, hopefully, the mainstream media will have to stop covering for him.  Make no mistake our enemies see this as just another sign of his weakness.

regards,
5412

Add one more to the unemployment rolls courtesy of BO.  Now the poor bastard has to go look for another job because his boss is an arrogant, vain douchebag that wanted to have some pictures taken of "his" plane.

Well, to be fair, the American public did elect him.  That whole stunt with he and Biden going out to a hamburger joint shows he's much more comfortable in campaign mode.

No sympathy from me for Obamabots, indeed ANYBODY who is willing to work in any administration.

They go in knowing their time is limited and that they'll be doin' the duffle-bag drag outta the joint eventually.

Caldera's time simply came a little earlier than he anticipated.

If he was smart, he would've been renting.

750 jobs in my career field are getting cut.  I wonder how many of this this photo op would have saved.

Considering that His Lordship seems bent on cutting them regardless of the cost/benefit analysis, probably none of 'em.

Face it, according to DHS, you're just another right-wing terrorist.  Count yourself lucky that you aren't being reassigned to a cell in Gitmo.

  He showed no judgment at all, rather than take the responsibility himself and say he authorized the mission and now he wished he had a do over; instead he waffled and then created a fall guy. 
That's my take on this too. H5
Likely this guy had nothing to do with the photo op, but his resignation halts any further investigation into the incident.

Bottom line: Obama is a coward, his minions exist to please their master and take the fall for O's mistakes.

I think that O is just a willing,arrogant figurehead...he loves the luxury and also knows he is simply there because he is the untouchable black President that libs wanted to make any criticism of policy into something racist.

I would bet the aide was well paid to take the hit.

That was my first thought when I heard Caldera had quit also.

I still don't understand, nor have I seen/heard any explanation of why this was done in the first place.

I think they were looking for a photo op - AF1 over the Statue of Liberty.

You'd think the morons would've heard of Photoshop.

Again, no.  And there was no need to start a thread over it, either.  The photo is more likely than not very real, because if you're claiming lack of a shadow makes it a fake, that dog won't hunt.
