WASHINGTON (May 8) – The White House official who authorized a $328,835 photo-op of Air Force One soaring above New York City resigned Friday just weeks after the flyover sparked panicked workers to rush into the streets and flashbacks to Sept. 11. Louis Caldera said the controversy had "made it impossible for me to effectively lead the White House Military Office," which is responsible for presidential aircraft.
"Moreover, it has become a distraction in the important work you are doing as president," Caldera wrote in his resignation letter to President Barack Obama.

Louis Caldera White House Aide Resigns Over Flyover
Louis Caldera just did the right thing. I would still love to know who gave him the advice to do something like this. Think of how new he was on the job and then think of the people he talked to before he decided to do this. I doubt he decided on his own. So who gave him the advice? We know President Obama didn't know about it and few others really were in the loop. Didn't military leaders know better?
