Help! I have a Repub friend almost ready to switch over but I need some info...

He asked me if I could find any info on a "less than complimetary" statement Obama made in one of his speeches last week regarding the company he works for, Rolls Royce. He says it might be something about the F136 (alternate) engine for the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter....

Anybody hear anything about this?! He's really on the edge and likes Obama. He even caught the brunt end of the stick for sticking up for Dems and the public option to some Repub friends who've been involved in the Tea Party crap the other day.

Just tell him the administration is now looking at cutting the F-35, and when they do, he'll be out of a job.

Yeah, but he will extend unemployment benefits.

Zero bongs, because no one is going to change party affliliation based simply upon a Rolls-Royce engine.

LOL

You know they're sucking on fumes when they have to revert back to the old "conversion" bouncies. The election of the Obamessiah was supposed to mean that everyone was now a Democrat and Republicans were just a few fringe nuts who didn't matter anymore.

Can the "_______ is toast!" threads be far behind?

Actually, it sounds more like the friend is setting the DUmmy up, having him go look something up that the friend already knows. The DUmmy is just too DUmb to realize it.

Sounds like aq lie to me . Rolls Royce is a british engine and I have not heard one thing about the military using or Boeing installing one of their engines on the  JSF .

The F-35's main engine is the Pratt & Whitney F135. The General Electric/Rolls-Royce F136 is being developed as an alternate engine
