Well, well.

With friends like David Rubenstein, a guy wouldn't need many enemies.

Willie, this has "CRAP" written all over it.

Well maybe, maybe not...
But please do me a favor and review the following thread: Aerospace Suppliers Object to 'Buy American' Provision in Visit to Hill, keeping in mind that Vought Aircraft is owned by The Carlyle Group.

It is certainly bizarre. I'm almost inclined to believe the story that it was tongue-in-cheek... that he intended for the audience to laugh at this, like it was a 'roast.' The last line seems to suggest that.

I can't imagine the chairman of a company with defense contracting interests around the world insulting the President of the United States. I can't imagine the chairman of a company which has Bush-41 on its board insulting the man's son in public. I can't imagine the chairman of a company that deals in political clout pissing off a family that has two Presidents and a Governor in it. None of this makes any sense; it is not behavior that I can see anyone in his position engaging in.
