F-22 Removed Before Obama Spoke At Elmendorf

The Elitist Unethical Obama And Administration

Last month socialist Barak Hussein Obama spoke to the troops at Elmendorf Air Force Base In Alaska.  There was supposed to be a shiny new F-22 as a backdrop in the hangar.  Instead there was an older F-15 fighter.  As they did at Georgetown the elitist Obama administration struck before the speech.

 "White House aides actually made them remove the F-22-said they would not allow POTUS to be pictured with the F-22 in any way, shape, or form," one source close to the unit relayed. Stephen Lee, a public affairs officer at Elmendorf, confirmed that the F-22 was parked in the hanger and then was replaced by an F-15 at the White House's request.

A White House official, commenting on background basis, said that yes, there were discussions about which plane or planes would be in the hanger, but that they were not meant as an insult to the pilots and other personnel who work on the F-22. The official couldn't elaborate on why the White House aides felt it necessary to get involved in the matter in the first place.

The Obama administration fought hard and successfully to cut off production of the F-22 at 187 planes, a number Defense Secretary Robert Gates endorsed but that was hundreds less than originally planned and about half of the 381 planes Air Force leadership lobbied hard for in the years preceding Obama's inauguration.

The airmen there took offense to the Obama aides' demand, sources said, seeing it as a slight to the brave Air Force personnel who are operating the F-22 proudly every day. They also expressed bewilderment that the White House staff would even care so much as to make an issue out of the fact that the F-22 was placed in the hanger with Obama.

The Air Force personnel thought it odd the White House wanted to display the older plane rather than the more advanced plane that, in the eyes of its supporters, represents the latest and greatest in American aviation.

"It's one thing to be against further production; quite another to slight the people who are flying them in the operational world," one source said, adding that "the F-15 pictured was put into service roughly around the same period when Obama graduated from college. It's vintage."

This again shows the elitist attitude of Obama and his administration.  This is the most unethical President and administration possibly ever.  Pettiness like this and insulting our brave military men and women isn’t the change most Americans want.
