Speaking as an Obama supporter in the top 10% income bracket, its about damn time that our government stops expecting no one to sacrifice for our country. The deficit is exploding, almost every dollar spent on the Iraq was is off the federal budget adding to that deficit, and the Repubs answer is to cut taxes for the rich? And pay for that by slashing government spending where it hurts middle class and lower income families more than any other? I have no problem with Obama’s plans. I’ll pay my share.

Laura, trying to use reason on gotalife isn't worth your time.

When a dog craps on your yard he's not being illogical. He's just being a dog.

George W Bush may very well have diminished the RESPECT for the office of the President both at home and abroad. I doubt, however, you would find any constitutional scholars or historians that would argue he didn't increase the power of the presidency by his blatantly unconstitutional power grabs. Signing statements, declaring he and his staff are immune from Congressional oversight. The power of the presidency has never been greater, much to our country's detriment especially given the poor character of THIS president.

One thing I haven't seen mentioned in this thread is that Congress specifically passed a law that forbids the Pentagon from considering anything except "Is this the best weapon system for the best price?" If Congress wants to get all bent out of shape about defense contracts not being given to American workers then they should change that law. If they don't then they have no real business screaming about this issue. From what's been reported in the press the Airbus pitch beat Boeing's on five of six techincal categories. And beat the pants off Boeing, not just a close contest.

Bottom line, the Pentagon awarded the contract based soley on criteria set down in law by Congress.

Good idea, but I'm absolutely sure that would violate some kind of campaign law.

That only means anything if Congress has the stones to actually go on record opposing funding for it. Clearly they don't have the stones to go up against Shrub on any issue that he can frame as a national security issue (RE: the Iraq war, telecom immunity, etc..)

I'm a strong Obama supporter who thinks he is really the right person for the job.

However I have to say I thought this was pretty funny and clever.
