Jake Tapper reports:
President Barack Obama is naming George D. Mulligan, Jr. as Deputy Assistant to the President and Director of the White House Military Office (WHMO).
Mulligan replaces his former boss, White House Military Office director Louis Caldera, who resigned on May 8 after the so-called “Scare Force One” incident of April 27, which had an Air Force One aircraft flying very low over Manhattan for the purposes of new photographs of the plane, with little notice given to thousands of understandably concerned if not scared citizens, visions of 9/11 in their heads.
From 1994 until 2004, Mulligan – a Navy officer from 1986 until 1994 — served in various positions within the White House Military Office.
This doesn’t seem to correct the root problem that led to the Scare Force One incident, which is the Obama administration’s decision to change the position from a career military officer to a political appointment.
