Absolutely agree Carl. It's shamefull! If Michelle just stayed in DC 1 more time without the use of the company plane.... The savings from that 1 trip would pay for a summers worth of WH tours. That would show true compassion for all those kids instead of a day on the view.

Agreed Carl. This is all about the 2014 mid-terms. At a time when our nation struggles to get healthy again economically, we have the administration employing tactics like canceling WH tours (which cost virtually nothing), shutting down the Thunderbirds and Blue Angels, and now slashing (theoretically) the FAA manning. It's eye wash and propaganda.

But it's germane to this industry and this forum....it will dramatically affect all of us if allowed to proceed. Shameful indeed!

Very shameful. It's a win at all costs mentality that will hurt us all for a long time. They are much more interested in staying/getting in power than in doing what is right.

And yet he wants to give free health insurance, cell phones, citizenship, hand outs,and everything else so as to usher in the welfare state to America? He gets criticized for trying to hurt as many people as possible while also getting criticized for trying to give the store away. Nice.

The guy must be pretty good so as to be playing both sides like that, huh?

They all are. Make it so that you don't have to beg for money to get elected and we will get a much better system.

Then the public officials become the ones who can argue issues the best, instead of the ones who can beg for the most cash.
