Sequesterization?

[heironymouspasparagus]

A one bidder contract, from a company with a "rich" history?   Obama's administration restarted the program?    You could be right, this is probably legitimate.

Much like Halliburton no-bid contracts meant nothing to Dick Cheney....

This helicopter thing was going on way before Obama and will continue way after.  You really scored a big fat goose egg on that one.....

Yup! Massive spending on things like this happen under all administrations, and will continue, unless of course people become upset with it.  The great thing about President Obama is that he could murder puppies and his myrmidons would celebrate it.

Of course he would kill the puppies with drones. . ."Because it's the right thing to do."

You guys sure make up smile about Obama. No wonder some people get turned off by our forum.

I'm relatively new on here compared to  a lot of you all, and while I'm not really "turned off" by threads like this (as useless as they are), I've wondered since I joined up why there is even a National Political section on this Forum?  This is, I thought, "Tulsa Now", not "US Politics Now".  This forum is great when it sticks to Tulsa-related, or even state-related, topics.  This other stuff, while sometimes amusing given the payers involved, no doubt does alienate some people and is by-far the most irrelevant content on the forum.

New, but plenty wise.

I'm going to guess that many moons ago, there was serious thread drift due to someone bringing national/international politics into the forum.  Thus, the creators made a politics section.

Some have made a wise choice to skip these sections.  Others have stepped into the quicksand and wallowed.  I'm guilty of wallowing in political threads like an '80's super model in pudding

Mote in other's eye,....beam in own....


You do remember that Baby Bush was the direct proximate cause of killing over 4,000 of our kids....in a misguided, imperialistic-voyeurism adventure in Iraq!?  And his myrmidons are still trying to sell that bill of goods....

They fact a new contract was gifted after Obama halted the previous program should stand on its own.   

Gifted? Clearly the Bush administration's plan was failing, so it was ended. That did not remove the need for replacement helicopters, assuming that Bush wasn't buying them solely for graft, anyway, so the Obama administration let bids again. After a while, most of the bidders left, two combined their bid into one, and that's what we're going with because that's all that the private sector is offering and we still (apparently) need new helicopters.

Where is the corruption in that?
