Obama Commends Senate for Killing F 22 Funds ABC News

[MrJoyride619]

Slick choice of words for covering the incapability of F22 Raptors with concern for Tax payers money.

[TheVille8086]

F-22s are Are great in all but hefty price tag but it is the shit

[TheVille8086]

When does he care about a budget?

[wizzzer1337]

a 10 million$ A-10 does more than any 150 million$ F-22 could ever bring into a war in afghanistan.

[u2ube4mi]

F-22 banned or not its still ineffective it wont save America, New Russian SU PAK FA T-50 Stealth will Dominate the skies! F-22 Sucked anyways its useless as a Fighter Jet and Its good Obama is banning it! That will decrease our Tax money and Health Insurance will be cheaper! what of waste of Billion dollars USA way to go. G.W Bush I want my Taxes back!!

[bujoun76]

@u2ube4mi We can have it all brother but our politicians are more interested in winning than they are in doing what they were elected to do. We have one half of our government trying while the other half sais "NO" via filibuster. So we dont spend properly because of cowardice and corruption. We just aren't willing to demand a better way of governing so we dont get it!

[moe761]

unbelievable, wow this guy doesn'y know anything about the military

[friedelt]

@moe761 of course he doesn't. Hes oblivious to military needs. You have no idea how much he wants to cut the Air Forces financing in the next several years. I'm in the air force. We need those planes. Civilians and Politicians have no idea how often we actually use the F-22. The only reason is because its classified.

[PelikanM200]

Why the hell do we need that plane, capping it at 187 planes is good enough. But seriously even with F-15, America still has air superiority.

[Revolucionario02]

Great Obama! The F-22 is the most expensive and useless piece of hardware ever produce by the Americans!

[friedelt]

@Revolucionario02 you mean the most expensive and most important fighter jet. We need that plane. You have no idea how often we use them. They are completely invisible to radar. The F15 is not. The F-16 is not.

I respect him for cutting the slack. However I feel it is unwise to let go of air superiority by stopping production of F-22a.

[bujoun76]

@friedelt I agree with you on the need for F-22's! Im a civilian and a liberal and a huge fan of fighter aircraft and I tell people the same basic thing that you do. What do you think will happen when F-15's go head to head against the Pak-Fa? The same thing that happens when F-15's challenge the F-22(144-0)! We cant stop advancing because other countries will keep going. They see what we can do and they want that power too. We must push on or die.

[Aztech355]

We need the F-22 period.

[friedelt]

@Aztech355 im in the airforce. and yes we do need the F-22. you are right sir.

[arjungs666]

@friedelt American theory is to make things from scrap-means more cost

Russian Theory-Improve the systems and reliability

Sukhoi pakfa is just 100million flyaway cost while f22 is 353 mills

Sukhoi pakfa is an improvisation of the sukhoi flanker(heavily manuverable birds)

The serpent inlets and all are just improvement-less development cost.

[TH7596]

@arjungs666 F-2 costed 160mill and the U.S knows all about the russian flankers and its tech ever since we bought SU planes and migs from ukraine.
