  Oh you pathetic cry babies.        True conservatives are nothing like the Sonofbitching Teabaggers.  They had some brains and thought about and for America.

  I don't see how someone Honey Crunch who really doesn't hardly have a damn thing can sell their ass out to the Super Rich and corporations. 

Yep, true to the cause ya are mr sheeple.

Even Former President Bill Clinton agrees with most "tea party" and normal thinking Americans that Washington should not raise taxes until the slumping economy is turned around — and says President Obama's plan to increase taxes on the wealthy won't solve the debt problem.

"I personally don't believe we ought to be raising taxes or cutting spending until we get this economy off the ground. If we cut government spending, which I normally would be very inclined to do when the deficit's this big, with interest rates already near zero you can't get the benefits out of it.

  Why wouldn't old Bill say that, being one of the best presidents the Republicans ever had and a millionaire to boot.  It seems like old Bill raise taxes at one time.

  The same old song from Hawk of cutting taxes and cutting spending.  Hawk your plan would drive this country into a depression worst than Hoovers.  Because the young people do not how to grow a garden, canning foods and self survival.

  If this depression ever happens, everybody who has something from living right, better have guns to protect themselves from these robbing hordes of starving Yuppies. 

  Only the Tea/Republican Party can save the United States of America?

Pretty friggin sad when so many try to validate racist statements and behaviors beneath a cloak of patriotism! ! ! You aren't fooling anyone but yourselves.

[Henry Hawk]

What I find extremely disturbing is people who claim racism to excuse a group of people who understand what poor leadership is.  Race has NOTHING to do with how good or bad a leader is....Or how good or bad ones ideology may be....and those who think it does, such as MOST liberals are not only racist themselves, but are extreme hypocrites.  They claim to be brighter and independent thinkers, but I clearly see a closed minded, self-centered, and hateful people.

and THAT''s they way it is......September 24th, 2011.

  WHY can't I get a answer to one of my questions.  What plan, law, bill or anything that the Republican in congress has come up with that has be a law, bill or any thing for the working men and women in the history of congress. 

  I don't know on any, except tax cut for the rich which will trickle down to the working people.

The right-wing red necks of the country (that 33%) think that when a Republotard says I am fighting any tax increase, the fight is for them (instead of the wealthiest few that the republicans DO work for).  Dumbasses.

Brazil's Embraer aircraft wins U.S. Defense contract
ReutersReuters – Fri, Dec 30, 2011

SAO PAULO (Reuters) - Brazilian planemaker Embraer will sell its A-29 Super Tucano aircraft to the U.S. Air Force, in a firm-fixed price delivery order contract worth $355 million, the company said in a statement late on Friday.

Twenty aircraft will be provided, as well as ground training devices to support pilot training and support for all maintenance and supply requirements for the aircraft and associated support equipment.

"We are committed to pursuing our U.S. investment strategy and to delivering the A-29 Super Tucano on schedule and within the budget," Luiz Carlos Aguiar, CEO of Embraer Defense and Security, said in the statement.

The aircraft will be supplied in partnership with U.S.-based Sierra Nevada Corporation (SNC) as the prime contractor, and will be used to conduct advanced flight training, aerial reconnaissance and light air support operations.

The A-29 Super Tucano was built for counterinsurgency missions and is currently used by five air forces and on order by others, Embraer said. (Reporting by Inae Riveras; Editing by Gary Hill)

Brazil's Embraer eyes NATO buyers for Super Tucano
ReutersReuters – Mon, Jan 16, 2012




By Brad Haynes and Carolina Marcondes

SAO PAULO (Reuters) - Brazil's Embraer expects to sell its Super Tucano light attack aircraft to more NATO nations after clinching an order from the United States that lifted the company into the upper echelons of global defense contractors, a top executive told Reuters.

"When you're selling to the most demanding client on the planet ... that's a showcase," Luiz Carlos Aguiar, the head of Embraer's Defense and Security unit, said in an interview. "It naturally opens the door to the NATO countries, which have many joint operations."
Just weeks after winning its first U.S. government contract, Aguiar said Embraer is also eyeing at least three other projects for the U.S. armed forces, undeterred by the political firestorm surrounding an American rival's legal challenge.


Buoyed by the U.S. endorsement, Embraer's defense unit could make up a quarter of its revenue by 2020, Aguiar said, up from an estimated 14 percent last year and under 5 percent in 2006.

The unit promises steady growth with Brazil's armed forces as the country bolsters protection of its vast borders and far-flung offshore oil reserves, reducing Embraer's reliance on highly cyclical revenue from civil aviation.

But as Embraer's defense ambitions grow in foreign countries, it also faces more politically charged competition.

The U.S. Air Force halted the $355 million Super Tucano order last week due to a lawsuit from losing bidder Hawker-Beechcraft (:HKBCH.UL), of Kansas, stirring nationalist rhetoric from local lawmakers and Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich.

Aguiar dismissed the political risks, confident that a swift decision in courts will free up Embraer to deliver the Air Force's first Super Tucanos from a new Florida plant next year.

"Our team is totally ready. No one was deactivated," said Aguiar. "You just press the button and we go to work."

The order could grow to $950 million for 55 aircraft, which are designed for surveillance and counterinsurgency operations in rugged conditions like the Afghanistan border.

The U.S. contract is the first for the Super Tucano in the NATO alliance. An earlier generation of the plane, known as the Tucano, was used beginning in 1989 for pilot training in France and the United Kingdom.

RETURN TO ROOTS

Embraer's focus on defense is a return to its roots for the planemaker, which was founded in 1969 as a government-run supplier for the Brazilian Air Force. After it was privatized in 1994, the company reinvented itself as a commercial planemaker and eventually became the world's leading manufacturer of regional jets, competing with Canada's Bombardier (BBDb.TO).

In many ways, Embraer has also become the face of an emerging, more modern Brazil, long a commodities-based economy dependent on the country's vast natural resources and agricultural wealth, from iron ore and oil to sugar and coffee.

As Brazil's global ambitions grow with its economic rise, Embraer is pushing into new defense segments. The company has announced a string of acquisitions and new partnerships in the year since it established a separate defense and security unit.

Embraer is developing unmanned aircraft to patrol Brazil's borders deep in the Amazon. The Brazilian navy has turned to the company for planes to protect deep-sea oil reserves located more than an hour off its coastline by helicopter. And in November Embraer joined forces with state telecom Telebras to launch a defense and communications satellite.

The pace of new ventures will slow in 2012, as the focus turns to the execution of existing projects, Aguiar said.

Embraer has also finished lining up an array of suppliers for its KC-390 military cargo plane, he said, preparing the company to define specifications, determine pricing and begin sales by the first quarter of next year.

And with Embraer's scope extending well beyond the aviation market, there is more room for innovative announcements.

As Brazil prepares to host the 2014 World Cup and 2016 Olympics, for example, Embraer is developing software to manage public security at those major events to coordinate communication between local, state and federal forces.

"Their systems still aren't talking to each other. They're fundamentally fragmented. So there's a role for Embraer to play there, integrating all of them," Aguiar said.

Your first post on the subject:

Alright Obama is going to finally create thousands of jobs.... ...Oh wait, they're going to be in Brazil who he awarded the contract to to build our military fighter jets..... 

From the first news article you provided:

The aircraft will be supplied in partnership with U.S.-based Sierra Nevada Corporation (SNC) as the prime contractor, and will be used to conduct advanced flight training, aerial reconnaissance and light air support operations.

From the second news article you posted:

Aguiar dismissed the political risks, confident that a swift decision in courts will free up Embraer to deliver the Air Force's first Super Tucanos from a new Florida plant next year.

So, are you prepared to admit that you were wrong and that these aircraft will be built here in the U.S.?
