Chinese Jet Gets Boost From Obama
Wall Street Journal ^ | NOVEMBER 18, 2009 | ANDY PASZTOR And NORIHIKO SHIROUZU

One of the few concrete signs of cooperation to emerge from this week's U.S.-China summit could boost Beijing's drive to become a global aircraft maker.

President Barack Obama pledged Tuesday to push for closer technical collaboration and eventual U.S. safety approval for China's ARJ21 commuter jet. That amounts to both a symbolic and practical step to counter Beijing's growing frustration with U.S. aviation policy and U.S. restrictions on the purchase of certain technologies.

The high-profile U.S. initiative is especially significant because China's own safety regulators are still a year or more away from approving the 70-to-100-passenger aircraft being developed by Commercial Aircraft Corp. of China Ltd., or Comac.

First cash for clunkers employs foreign auto workers and now Obama helps export the aircraft work.

I couldn’t ever feel safer than blasting through the sky in a pressurized metal tube with a big “MADE IN CHINA” stamp on the bottom.

Resident Obama creates more jobs.

But not for Americans.

First Nixon, then Clinton, now Obama. Pretty soon there won't be anyting for an American President to give to the Chinese.

Aircraft was one of the last industries we have perhaps lead in.

U.S. safety approval for China's ARJ21 commuter jet.

I fly a fair bit on regional jets. I've flown on American, Canadian and Brazilian RJs. A Chinese RJ? Never!

Are you listening US Airways Express? Comair?

Well, isn't it nice to know that Obama is going to use the power of his office to get those pesky safety inspectors and engineers to play ball.

Let me think for a moment...NO! This guy has absolutely no clue how to run anything, much less the USA.

I can't even look at that bottom picture without tearing up. I will look at the video a little later.

To think that Obama besmirches that patriotism.

Its unfathomable that Obama and his leftist Junta have no qualms about doing so.

I want that fact to cost Obama big. Real big.

These moves of his are calculated to get for him the gig he REALLY wants. PRESIDENT OF THE WORLD!

Will it work? I surely do not know; but there is no doubt in my mind what he is aiming for; and in HIS mind, the USA be damned; to quote his former pastor.

Don’t listen to what he SAYS! Watch what he DOES!!

Boeing may want to remind the US government that TWA 800 didn’t fall from the sky due to poor workmanship.

This is what happens when our government relies on China’s wealth to fund outrageous government spending.

Obama has to make sure China’s economy does well... since the better they do the more we can borrow... which means the more we can spend.
