President Obama has accepted the resignation of the Director of the White House Military Office Louis Caldera after the truly idiotic photo-op episode last week, where the people of New York City relived their worst nightmare when they saw an airplane doing a low flyover over Manhattan.
In a letter released by the White House, Caldera said:
I have concluded that the controvery surrounding the Presidential Airlift Group's aerial photo shoot over New York City has made it impossible for me to effectively lead the White House Military Office. Moreover, it has become a distraction to the important work you are doing as President. After much reflection, I believe it is incumbent on me to tender my resignation and step down as Director of the White House Military Office.

According to a White House press release from Robert Gibbs:
The President has asked his Deputy Chief of Staff Jim Messina and Defense Secretary Gates or his designee to jointly review the organizational structure of the White House Military Office and the reporting relationship of its components to the White House and the Air Force, and to make recommendations to him to ensure that such an incident never occurs again.
