Airbus is a huge company everyone. Just like Boeing. If you look at it closely, these companies give money to everyone. Took about ten seconds to find that OB got money in donations from five different lawyers that work for them. Clinton got money from two executives. The house and senate have scarcely a member that is not connected in some way through the donations and contributions. Same thing with Boeing. You dont like it, then write your congressman and complain(if you put up enough cash you might get the law changed).
This is not controlled by one man as some like to pretend. This was not McCain standing up and saying this goes to Airbus as some pretend. This was a contract bid forced after all hell broke loose when it was given in without bids in the first place. The bids were taken and shiat....Boeing could not match the bid with as good of a product. Now that they lost they are cashing in on all their donations and pushing for inquiries. Surprise surprise.
Dont pretend McCain had any more to do with it than ten other senators on the other side of the isle. The process was taken and Boeing lost. They are not good losers and with political "contributions" we all hope it gets overturned but to say it was McCain smells of something from the north end of the south bound bull.
