John McCain Feels Your Pain!

EADS manufactures the Airbus. Recently the Defense Department awarded a $35 billion contract to EADS instead of to Boeing to build air fleet tankers.

By so doing, 44,000 well-paying U.S. jobs will now be winging their way to the Europeans ... but John McCain feels your pain!

It didn't seem to matter to John McCain and to the other Bozo's on the Beltway that the Boeing model is a more capable aircraft. That it produces 25% less carbon dioxide and offers a 24% fuel savings - fuel which you will be paying for courtesy of your income tax ... but John McCain still feels your pain!

John McCain (R-AZ) played a crucial role in blocking the deal going to Boeing!

Now if this wasn't stupid enough, after the deal was done and the contract for $35 billion was being handed over to the Europeans, your federal government has now decided to aggressively pursue legal action against EADS at the WTO for getting grants and loans at unfairly favorable rates, using illegal subsidies and winning exemptions from key national security laws .... outstanding due diligence fella's ... but John still feels your pain!

Is this another example of John McCain's Presidential ability? Oh Oh!

To suggest that John McCain and the deal-makers at the Defense Department are a bunch of idiots would be an insult to idiots!
