My mistake ......I was wrong. They did get to the bottom of it. It only took 12 days to figure out who authorized if. I guess Louis had the authority to get Air Force One to fly over the Statue of Liberty. What other authorities do White House Aides have???? Louis said the "Controversy" had made it impossible to effectively lead the White House Military Office..........how about the "stupidity"??? Can you say scape goat??? Just think of how many people would have to be involved to pull-off this fly-over?? I cannot believe Obama didn't even have a hint of it!
WASHINGTON (AP) — 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 Obama.
MEMO: Operation cost $328,835
The sight of the huge passenger jet and an F-16 fighter plane flying past the Statue of Liberty and the lower Manhattan financial district sent panicked office workers streaming into the streets on April 27. Obama said it would not happen again.
Don't hold your breath!!
