McCain has a French Connection

US Air Force has awarded a major tanker deal to a company that's parent is French owned. Now, I am not against in anyway use or purchase of goods from the world market place. In fact I think it is good overall as it will move us to a more common global community.

Equally though, I find it very funny how it is popular right now to slam companies that have moved jobs via production of American goods to other countries. That this is the reason for all our problems. Granted the issue is deep and wide and can not possibly be focused in this post. Yet, it seems everyone running for office has been against this whole concept and promise to make changes if elected to stop this "hemorrhage" of America.

Yet, Senator John McCain seems to have ties to exactly that. With two of his campaign employees who are former lobbyists in favor and pushing the Airbus contract to the Air Force. Lot has been said that McCain had nothing to do with any of this, even though he has a history of not being friendly to Boeing. Just to bring this into focus, every presidential candidate uses private air craft to get everywhere they have to be. Everyone of them use American made aircraft, with exception to Mr. McCain. He favors and uses a french built Airbus A320.
