Over the years, it has been my privilege to own a few airplanes. Under the right circumstances, they are tremendous business tools.
All but one of those aircraft were proudly manufactured in Wichita, Kansas by Americans who were skilled machinists, and held the high level skills you need to manufacture precision equipment which flies. Wichita is kind of a heartland aviation manufacturing Mecca. And, as you might imagine, times there are not particularly good.
Several of those aircraft were manufactured by Beechcraft, or as it is currently known, Hawker Beechcraft. They are the Lincolns and Cadillacs of small airplanes. They are the finest airplanes I have ever owned and you would be hard pressed to find anyone who owns or has owned a Beechcraft product who would disagree.
Except Barack Obama.
He’s more worried about sending our hard earned tax dollars to Brazil because, as he would put it, we need to recognize that we are in a global economy even at the expense of American manufacturing jobs.
Last week, despite the fact that our Air Force and its allies already own about 750 Beech AT-6 trainers, Obama’s henchmen in the Departments of Defense and Commerce sent hundreds of millions of tax dollars to Brazil’s Embraer to buy the Brazilian company’s light attack aircraft for our “friends” in Afghanistan.
Privately, our friends in the Department of Defense will tell you it was all politics.
Publicly, their spokespeople say that the contest “was conducted in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations” and that the evaluation of the aircraft “was fair, open and transparent.”
For the record, the highly skilled air forces which fly the Embraer aircraft are Brazil, the Dominican Republic and Colombia.
Now there’s a recommendation for you.
The Dominican Republic’s flyboys like it so we should spend a billion dollars with our “friends” in Brazil to buy them for our “friends” in Afghanistan.
Only Barack Obama could allow that logic to prevail. And as for our highly skilled manufacturers and their employees in Wichita? Screw them.
Between this and the Obama administration saying no to the Keystone XL pipeline which directly affects the same area of the nation, the term “stunningly stupid” from Newt Gingrich is very descriptive.
This is a President who is far worse than Jimmy Carter was in 1980.
Carter was merely a deer in the headlights.
Obama is an unindicted co-conspirator with the forces who would like to tear our economy to shreds because they see the free market economy as a threat to government authority.
And the result?
Best put, again, by Gingrich.
Obama is the “food-stamp President.” Because he truly has put more Americans on food stamps than any other President in history.
While Mitt Romney certainly does have plenty of private sector experience, the difference between what he could do to Barack Obama on the national stage and what Gingrich—albeit with all his baggage—can do is stark.
Gingrich is capable of jamming stunningly stupid actions such as those I’ve described above down the President’s throat in a manner which leaves no doubt in the minds of the American public as to how the issue will be framed.
Romney is a good guy but has a bad habit of allowing his opponents to frame the issues.
Yes, they both have baggage, but in a well thought out campaign, not nearly the mountain of baggage that Obama has been piling up since January 20, 2009.

Couldn't agree with you more.Raegan labeled the Russians the Evil Empire now we have our own Evil Regime.
ranting of a bigoted jackass! You are the example of a retarded racist bigoted idiot scum! I rst my case!
Look in a mirror and repeat your post!
Are you taking one for the Hussein Obama team? Remember – you are an American, and he isn't. He doesn't give a rats arse about your American behind, so forget defending him, and begin to defend yourself.
This SOB knows he is destroying America.
Fox fake news keep spewing this hate and lie and poeple believe it as fact. If you would do some fact checking you would find Fox are lying to you. They offer no jobs only more tax cuts for the rich and cuts in Social Security, Medicare and medicaid to pay for those tax cuts, rob from the poor to pay the rich. They are what is ruining this country and have been since Reagan! let's be glad that the GOP has a chance of winning the White House back and destroying our nation as Bush almost did.
You racist idiot !
Get the hell out of here. Go lick Obama’s boots!
The Destroyer's agenda is too obvious. Only those with head in sand don't see the Truth.
Meanwhile we are being sold on a 'staged' Candidate (only one that can beat BO?) so we elect a less radical and still lose more Freedom, Liberty and Constitution. Better hope that whoever is elected does take to heart many beliefs of R Paul (as they have been voicing in recent debates).
Obummer is out to make america a third world country and he is winning.He claims he wants jobs so what does the Moron do cancels the pipeline,next he has planes made for the Air Force by a foreign company instead of a company in the heartland.He sells guns to the drug cartels to kill our border agents and the the Evil empire with the democrats blessing try to weasel out of it.
First he pays for Venezuela to drill for oil, while denying Americans, now he buys their airplane manufacturer.
Whats with the interest in S. America?
Don’t forget Obama also gave Petrobas (Brazil) $2 BILLION for their off-shore deep-water oil well program SHORTLY AFTER George Soros dumped most of his investments in Western oil companies and increased his investments in Russian, Venezuelan and Petrobas around the same time he (Obama) was opposing American off-shore deepwater oil wells.
It is obama's job to kill jobs and to bring America down. He's just a lackey for the real money behind him, George Soros.
Fox fake news keep spewing this hate and lie and poeple believe it as fact. If you would do some fact checking you would find Fox are lying to you. That claim has been debunked, facts show that it would only create 500 to 1000 temporary jobs total, it would cost us 100s of billions of dollars, raise the gas prices, and hurt the environment.
soulstraw = obot.
Racer, I believe you are SOOOOOOOOO right
Need a job?
The President, Barack Obama is now interested in getting every America citizen a job that he has publicly stated to "one" person to send him their resume so he can find him a job. Why stop there with only one person. Send the President your resume or someone you know who needs a job. Don't let the Presidents T.V. photo op go to waste without taking advantage of this great opportunity to get a job that he promises us every day of the year.
