Well he better have gotten something. I heard the new estimate for his trip was 83 gazillion dollars!!! He took 7.4 billion people with him to India as well. They had booked every known airplane and boat in the world to get there!!!!!
Hopefully Rush and the few Republican members of Congress use my numbers for their resource. I could use some fame!!!!

Hate to bust yer bubble Habs but I happen to know somebody that sits on the Board at Boeing and this deal was signed sealed and delivered early this summer. If you'll read the article real well you'll see that the Chairman is one of Yommas buds and they waited for this trip to make the announcement to make His Majesty look good. And yeah, I'm sure the republicans have played the same game, after all, the definition of a politician is a sleazeball in a suit.

Also, every Nimitz-class aircraft carrier will be called into the region to defend his sorry *** in case things go wrong.
On a serious note, something good happens and it takes over 50 views before a single person replies. (and then it's a stinkin lefty who replies)
The silence is deafening, and you just know there are certain people on the far right that would love to derail his trip even if it means hurting their own people, that's how deep the hatred runs.
That's a crying shame.

Hey, let me send my heart felt congratulations to our dear president Obama. Should I kneel at his feet and kiss his shoes? Nah, I'll leave that to our resident progressives.
This is fabulous news.
It'll be nice to have the "about" 54,000 jobs here in the US. That'll bring that 14.8 million unemployed considerably lower.
That 10 billion will go a long way to reduce the 13.6 trillion dollars in debt that the US holds.
It'll go a long way to fill in the gap that we have with 111.1 trillion dollars in unfunded liabilities.
It'll really offset the $2.5260 trillion that the Obama administration added to the national debt in it's first 19 months. That's more than the cumulative total of the national debt held by the public that was amassed by all U.S. presidents from George Washington through Ronald Reagan.
So, yes American public, you should be required to stand up and give this president applause. Then bow. He is after all our savior. He's the ONE we've been waiting for. Praise Obama!
Is that enough admiration from "the far right"?

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, and other Republicans back in Washington, however, immediately expressed skepticism about Obama's renewed interest in the issue after failing to move forward on pending trade deals with South Korea, Colombia and Panama.

Explain to me how selling C-17s and 737s created 54,000 jobs. Both of these aircraft are already in full production, the people who are making them already have jobs. Selling these aircraft is a good thing but it is not creating more jobs. Creating jobs would mean building new factories to make a new product hiring people without jobs.
Sounds like a lot of political spin and not much truth to me. The other thing to watch for is India (and China too) want to get into the aircraft manufacturing business. I would not be surprised if there was some part of this allowing them to make parts in the future.

Habbi, I'm not Canadian so I don't know how it works up there, but in the U.S. the president doesn't sign contracts for other companies (well except maybe for Chebby). It is good news that India wants to buy some airplanes, but come on it's a small start and not time for the parade or hall of fame or what ever. You also have to wonder if he had the power to do all this wonderful stuff (one contract) then what is he giving away with the other hand.
Political posturing is the only thing this President does well so you will have to excuse the skepticism of the "un-washed"!

On the jobs created front, it appears the recently invented 'jobs saved' term may have morphed into the same thing as 'jobs created'.

Bad news for Hussein is that we need 120,000 jobs/month just to keep up with workforce/population growth in America. Added jobs are always good news, but these jobs are a drop in the bucket. Obama's economic policies are going to keep job growth stagnant for years to come.
