Obama to Boeing: Drop Dead
Ricochet.com ^ | 4/21/2011 | Claire Berlinski

Posted on 04/21/2011 5:02:28 PM PDT by BfloGuy

This could well be the most outrageous insult yet to the free market economy:

In what may be the strongest signal yet of the new pro-labor orientation of the National Labor Relations Board under President Obama, the agency filed a complaint Wednesday seeking to force Boeing to bring an airplane production line back to its unionized facilities in Washington State instead of moving the work to a nonunion plant in South Carolina.

Do I need to explain how many kinds of wrong this is? Not only is the federal government saying to Boeing that it gets to decide where it puts its production lines, it's telling South Carolina it may as well not enact laws designed to attract investment. All that's missing are the words "Five Year Plan."

Remember those two recess appointments to the National Labor Relations Board? The guys making these decisions about the commanding heights of the American economy have never even been confirmed by the Senate.

Boeing deserves what it gets. The company pulled all its political strings to get the tanker deal over Airbus and now they have to roll over for the unions. What did they expect would happen?

Kudos to the writer for brining up an old Soviet Communist term to describe ObamaNomics. Most journos, even on the GOP side, wouldn’t know what a “Five Year Plan” means

As for Obama and Boeing.....just wait until he sicks the NLRB on Wisconsin and other states who are trying to de-unionize their government employees. You Aint Seen Nothin Yet

If I were CEO of Boeing, I would close the Washington plant permanently and blame it on Obama. Move the entire production schedule to SC, and declare the measure "critical to lowering costs and saving jobs in the US".

How could the NLRB possibly have jurisdiction to tell a company where to build a plant???

O'Bambi's new form of redlining is clearly involved as he and his 'RATS go for the yellow:

And move corporate out of Illinois.

Excellent idea!

Didn't Boeing mover their headquarters from Seattle to Chicago a few years ago over Texas? If yes, that was pretty stupid.

In a response, Boeing repossess Air Force 1.

Not only that, but the South Carolinians will work far harder, improve the manufaturing process, and increase quality, thus saving airlines and passengers even more money.
