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.
Louie, Louie, Oh baby, Me gotta go...
Nice Timing: Friday, end of the week, when news viewing is at its lowest. I wonder if any of the Sunday shows will touch upon this....doubt it. Obama starts Monday off clean.
Yeah, released at 4:30pm eastern on a Friday afternoon.
Way to take responsibility, 0bama!
Scapegoating someone else, that’s Change we can believe in!
Those poor people are terrified.

Hope and Change people. Hope and Change.
I believe you are right. And I think the reason they don’t want to release pictures was because there weren’t any - if they release one, check for photoshopping.
Yo! Luis!
Don’t fly anywhere. Stay out of the parks in DC. Stay away from Chicago.
Lets get the (full size) photo on the net so we can take a good look.
I don’t trust this Administration. I’m betting a spot will be found for him somewhere else.
Thank you administration for changing the title of this article.
Hmmmm, seems like the “Hopey-Chagey” Titanic has clipped an iceberg
He took one for the team.
Possible titles: "100 Days of Walking on Water with the One"
"Photo Op? Uh, Sure, Fine, Whatever"
"The Underside of a Bus: An Unexpected View"
"Because of 9/11? What happened on 9/11?"
Who was the Blonde Bimbo Obama apologist on Fox for that segment? I had to tune out.
Now we can say without a doubt that 0bama is personally responsible for unemployment going up...
Maybe they will photoshop Miss Prejean’s head on the statue of liberty as was done to “create” rumored “nude photos”.
They just showed a photo on FOX. Can’t really tell much from the TV but if we can get the full size pic on the net we can get a good look.
Offhand I would say the photo was taken at well over 1000 feet but I’m not qualified to judge.
