WASHINGTON — A top White House aide resigned Friday for his role in Air Force One's $328,835 photo-op flyover above New York City that sparked panic and flashbacks to the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. Louis Caldera said the controversy had made it impossible for him to effectively lead the White House Military Office. "Moreover, it has become a distraction in the important work you are doing as president," Caldera said in his resignation letter to President Barack Obama.

Barack Obama’s administation continues to contribute to unemployement, one figure at a time.

There’s a link off Drudge to the New York Post that shows the photo. Interesting post commented underneath about Obama putting Air Force One (i.e. the Presidency) above Lady Liberty.

I wonder if he actually resigned or did BO throw him under the bus.
I imagine some of the Marxist 'RATS in the House and Senate will be recommending to Louie that he commit suicide. That's normally what 'RATS do when a useful idiot is no longer useful.

An airliner and supersonic fighter jet zoomed past the lower Manhattan skyline in a flash just as the work day was beginning Monday. Within minutes, startled financial workers streamed out of their offices, fearing a nightmarish replay of Sept. 11.

JUMBO JERKS: The Boeing presidential 747, trailed by an F-16 fighter jet, soars low over Ground Zero yesterday. Thousands fled office buildings and homes at the terrifying 9/11-like strike.

If I was the National Enquirer I would be offering $1 million to anyone that was on the plane to give me a passenger list and what was the reason for the trip.
Enquiring minds want to know...

To be totally truthful, I think this Air Force One dropping bombs on Lady Liberty would have been closer to the Obama’s administration’s liking.

Why always Rat Party (formerly the traditional Democratic Party) leaders and stalwarts?
During the Clinton years it was a top aide taking Marine One for a golf outing. I guess these 1960s Marxist hippie street rabble (and their ideological issue) feeeeeeeeeel everything is a toy for the dictatorship of the proletariat to play with.
