Will outsourcing Marine One turn the tide?
It looks like there is a big battle ahead for the defense contract for Marine One and the helicopters between Sikorsky (all-American) versus Lockheed Martin and building in Europe. I wonder if the potential for outsourcing the pResident's flying machine might cause some people to reconsider what companies are doing to other US citizens with the rampant outsourcing of American jobs? Could outsourcing this contract get enough people upset that they'll demand change?

1. just listen to Lou Dobbs
discussing the issue, seems Blair has been calling bush for help in getting the contract for Lockheed. 35% of it will go to england. If it stays here in Conn. it will be 100% made in America. Wonder if Bush will gift it to Blair for help in the war.

2. I think Lockeed will get it because they are big contributors.
