Marxist/Leninist socialist Demcrat Obama is going after wealthy poeple who own private jets, in order to placate his following. Rather than fine, retrieve monies, or even charge those unwashed and undeserving executives of Fanny Mae, Freddie Mac, Wall Street, Banks and a few politicians like Barney Franks O'bummer bailed them out and gave them more responsibilty. Goldman Sachs executives are heavily involved in America's financial issues. They caused the problem, basically because of Carter and Clinton with homes for everybody, then paid themselves bonuses and accepted money from the anointed one's government. Amazing. And his regime are getting away with it. http://www.financialpost.com/todays-paper/Obama+saviation+changes+slammed/5530214/story.html LAS VEGAS . Barack Obama, the U.S. President, did not attend the 64th annual meeting of the National Business Aviation Association here this weekend. And a good thing it was, as the industry is raging against his administration's intention to impose a US$100-per-flight landing fee for private jets and lengthen the depreciation schedule for such planes in a move that could cost as much as US$60-million. Executives of several business aircraft manufacturers denounced the plan Sunday as self-defeating and an unfair bashing of the general aviation industry that provides good jobs. But none topped Hawker Beechcraft Corp. chairman and chief executive Bill Boisture Jr., who made it personal. Deeply flushed at a news conference, he called Mr. Obama and his administration "nothing short of irresponsible," arguing that the measures would hamstring the industry in a delicate recovery period and would cost many U.S. aerospace jobs. "I know for a fact - for a fact," Mr. Boisture said, "that [Mr. Obama] was personally briefed on the effects of these measures" but that he chose to ignore the harm they would do to U.S. jobs at the worst possible time, repeating the term "irresponsible."
