"My attitude is, if you got a corporate jet, you can probably afford to pay full freight, not get a special break for it," he said, discussing ways to reduce the federal deficit."
"You'll still be able to ride on your corporate jet. You're just going to have to pay a little more," Obama said.

NBAA Challenges Obama’s Debate Remarks
Oct 09, 2012
By: Stephen Pope
The National Business Aviation Association slammed Barack Obama’s remarks about corporate jets in last week’s presidential debate with Mitt Romney, saying the president mischaracterized the role business aviation plays in creating jobs and improving the economy.
In an open letter to Obama, NBAA head Ed Bolen said the remarks show that the president is out of touch with reality.
“Your comments seemed to illustrate a complete lack of understanding about the importance of business aviation in the U.S., and appear to be at odds with your stated interest in promoting job growth, stimulating exports, driving economic recovery and restoring America to its first-place position in manufacturing,” Bolen wrote.

Obama: “In order to solve both the manpower shortage in the aerospace industry and lower the number of folks on welfare, I am issuing an executive order which requires that aerospace companies with federal contracts hire welfare recipients. In this day and age it is fundamentally unfair that trained workers get all the high paying jobs”.
I have plenty of quals that would get me a good aerospace job in Ohio, but would go on welfare first.
The problem is....Ohio.
When I once was sentenced...er....going to grad school in Dayton, for two winters in a row - the electrical unions decided to strike. They even took out a couple of power stations to show just how serious they were about making sure we peons had power. It was lots of fun worrying about keeping my family warm, studying, and calculatings means to keep the house from freezing when some sub-IQ union jerk threatened to remove my electricity.
Ohio can sink into the ocean (right next to CA), hopefully taking all democratic goons with them.
Good riddance.
To fill quota, even ‘Obama phone lady’ will be able to get in and onto the program.
I know how they do it (filling quota) in corporate world, and I'll bet gubmint is even worse.
10,700 unfilled jobs in one sector in one state? Not sure I believe it. There have quite a few such stories the past year or so, large numbers of unfilled, or supposedly unfillable good paying jobs in specific industries. More information needed.
Let’s get to nitty gritty of this, are these Jobs @ GE Jet Engines and or the feeder / suppliers?.... If so no thanks...
Aerospace answer: more H1B visas, because there aren’t enough “qualified” Americans to fill those positions. You gotta be kidding me, in a region where there was literally a machine or fab shop on every corner, in an area with a high concentration of experienced engineers, and they can’t find anyone? I can already see where this is going.
