You are seriously misguided if you think there's someone working in the Whitehouse who is in charge of giving the "OK" on military PR events.

Tell that to Mr. Caldera, it sounds like that is new information he needs to know pretty quickly.

The FAA is also mentioned several times in the article. I guess I don't need to remind that the FAA is part of USDOT and that is and executive branch office. IOW it is an arm of the Obama administration, even if it has a republikan heading it up. So yes, Obama's executive branch and white house people arranged and approved this event.


from the article


___________________________________________
Louis Caldera, director of the White House Military Office, subsequently said in a statement that he approved the mission last week.

"I take responsibility for that decision," Caldera said

I don't think I ever heard the title of that office before now.

http://www.whitehouse.gov/administration/eop/whmo/

It is the office that handles military support for stuff like Air Force One, Marine One, Camp David trips, and the like. I don't know who I assumed handled that before, I guess I thought is was a direct function of DoD.

I read on MSNBC today that Caldera was indeed fired. Looks like Obama will fire people for uber fuckups, which is good.
