Obstruction by Barry? More blood on it's hands?

[DesertRhino]

As Texas and California burn,,,, Is there ANYTHING Obastard doesn’t screw up? Is there ever a point where we get to say it’s deliberate?

[Army Air Corps]

Not surprised. Just more of the War on Texas. This is not the first time that the Feds have grounded fire fighting aircraft.

[Bigun]

He really, really HATES Texas and it shows!

[DesertRhino]

The fires in Texas are almost all on private land, not national forests. The state of Texas needs to immediately hire the planes. Screw Obama,,,

The company in question is nonunion which is the real story. As a plus for Zero, he gets to stiff Texas.

[texmexis best]

This, BTW, is a good argument for deunionizing the government.

Sounds like the Governor of Texas needs to hire these tankers for the State. The forestry Service should have no say in the mater if the tankers will not be working on U.S. Forestry lands.

I think the title of the article is misleading. I read the entire article and it's very interesting.

Basically the feds just dumped this company's contract to use seven firefighting Orion planes and wouldn't even agree to discuss the reasons so things could be worked out. The disagreement was over long range maintenance and even though the planes passed this years inspection the feds said adios. It's absolutely insane.

I hope Rush sees this article.

Obama thinks, (he thinks?) that these are TREEmendous BUSH fires!

SNOT his business

[blueunicorn6]

Obama has mobilized The Democrat Snocone Squadron to fight these fires. Unfortunately, the Democrats haven’t figured out what ice is made from.

[Lancey Howard]

Must be non-union.
Or, somebody else who is better connected is angling for the contract. Clinton travel office redux.
Either way it’s all about Ubama/Democrat corruption, make no mistake about it.

If this is true, Perry should blast this out to the country in the debate.

California ready to help combat Texas fires (Have not officially received a request)

A state fire official told CalCoastNews today that California is ready to respond to a request from Texas authorities “should it come”

“Texas has come to us as well, and we have given them a rundown of our equipment,” a spokesman for Cal Fire said in Sacramento. “At this time, we have not officially received a request from them, but we have talked to them about what we can provide, knowing that we, too, are in the middle of fire season, and have been busy this last couple of weeks, especially.

“But if we do get a request, we’ll be happy to help.”
