9. Woohooo! They are going to create so many jobs
Building the 5 presidential aircraft here in the US. Just those five mind. Not any more. After those five are built - those nice engineers, will just have to find something else to do.

Now the big business is the parts business, all the support for the aircraft, any guesses where that will be located (hint: not in the US)

But surely it would be sensible to have the parts in the US you ask? Well, not just for 5 aircraft, because you won't see the Lockheed aircraft carrying anyone other than the Chimp, because the FAA won't certify it as safe enough for civilian use.

The Sikorsky S-92. Maybe he didn't want it because there are some of the great unwashed flying in one probably right now in the gulf of mexico. Oh and its perfectly safe. AND if it wanted a bathroom because he couldn't make a 30 min journey without pissing in his diaper, there was plenty of room for one to be put in. They just didn't have it in the prototype.
As for s-92 parts and support, all US based. Gee, but that would be so the antithesis of chimpos policy, they couldn't have possibly have supported it.

BTW in the interest of full disclosure, I'm not even remotely biased, even though my hubby works on the first delivered production s-92. A damn fine aircraft. Well his is anyway.

;-)
