It is always a good time for donations to the GOP-there must have been tones of money and of course a plant to Jeff...lovely.
“Northrop Grumman is a U.S. company.”
REALLY? Gee, you think maybe some of us aren’t quite as stupid as the GOP ruling elites give us credit for?
“You don’t know what you are talking about.”
Yeah, FR, I do know what I’m talking about. I also know what’s going to happen in November.
The contempt the GOP must feel for the average voter’s intelligence is unbelievable. They did this in an election year-no worries. They have national security sown up so, we have to vote for them. Guess again GOP because you just put our security at risk with this deal as you have done every day with open borders.
That is so irrelevant it might have come from Hillary!08
I can't really blame him personally, it's in his DNA.
With Northrop based in California, this means 7,500 jobs for California, which will be producing all the parts for these aircraft.
Thank you, the fact that you insulted me rather then addressing my post indicates that you can not address the issues raised by me and other posters.
Did you watch no news yesterday? The only plant in American involved with manufacturing of this plane is the one in Alabama.
Look, what you are saying is false.
I tell you what. You specifically document the jobs in Europe and I'll specifically document the jobs in the U.S., okay?
Now for the “dirty secret” of Airbus. Their planes get nearly the same or better fuel consumption as their American counterparts. That is only if it’s a long haul. The Airbus 3 series planes get great fuel economy while at cruising altitude but are gas hogs getting to that altitude. They don’t do well with short trips. A NY to Chicago run would put them in a hole money wise. They need at a trip of at least 1000 miles to break even.
It's a California based company, and this will create well over 7,000 jobs for California.
“The contempt the GOP must feel for the average voter’s intelligence is unbelievable.”
Yup, it ranks right up there with the perspicacity of the Clintonistas around Hitlery, which really is no great surprise I suppose.

‘But Northrop, a defense contractor perhaps best known for developing the B-2 stealth bomber, said it would assemble and modify the tanker in Mobile, Ala., making it, in its words, an “American-built” plane.’ Any other questions concerning this matter?
Wrong...All the part will be produced in California. This is what was reported on the news here several times the past few days.
They even gave the number of jobs this will create for California, 4,500 in LA County alone 3,000 other jobs in other areas of the state.
What a shame
I never was good at geography.
Er *parts*
What does McCain think about this?
Obama’s made this his issue in the campaign
FreeReign:Northrop Grumman is a U.S. company.
REALLY? Gee, you think maybe some of us aren’t quite as stupid as the GOP ruling elites give us credit for?
Good, then the next time don't say something stupid such as, the AF "gave the bid to foreigners".
