Obama To Discontinue F-22 Fighter Jet


I was watching C-Span yesterday, flipping over to the Senate floor while the Sotomayor hearing was on break, and across the bottom of the screen scrolled "debate over F-22 Fighter Jet". I looked more into it, and found that along with disarming missile defense technologies, and working towards disarming America's nuclear capabilities (both are important deterrents against the enemy), Obama now also wishes to stop production of the F-22 Fighters against the recommendations of his military advisers.

Specifically, a couple weeks ago Barack Obama threatened to veto a defense authorization bill because it contained money for the fighter jets.

He is not only destroying the private sector, crippling our economy, weakening our tactical advantage while weakening our defenses, and apologizing to the world for this nation being exceptional (while bowing to a Saudi King, telling the Muslim World this is no longer a Christian Nation, and repeatedly disrespecting the Queen of England), but now he wishes to cut our conventional capabilities off at the knees too?

In addition to stopping the production of the F-22, he also wishes that changes be made to the bill that would delay the fielding of the F-35, while deteriorating our strike fighter inventory.

At this rate, he'll be handing the keys of the White House to some dictator, or maybe even the United Nations.

This president is intent on destroying America - and yet, there are still idiots out there defending him.
