Our nation has seen a lot of reckless actions come from the Obama White House over the last three years, but this one could be the most damaging.
Why would we ever want to send our taxpayer dollars abroad to outsource both our national security and valuable manufacturing jobs?
Raising even more questions is the fact that the administration has refused to provide any justification or explanation for their decision to award the contract to a company that is currently under investigation by the Department of Justice and the SEC for corruption and bribery.
The Obama administration should be working to create jobs here at home, not in Brazil. And this outrage is even more prominent when those jobs are building aircrafts that will be used to protect our homeland.

“It would be great to hear President Obama commit to giving U.S. military contracts to U.S. companies. Doing so would strengthen the American economy, create much needed, well-paying U.S. jobs and be in the best interest of our men and women in uniform.”
