Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Boeing Didn't Give Obongo A Gold Watch When He Retired From The White House ......

..... But How Does $10 Million Sound Instead .... as it turns out that Obongo was a good salesman for Boeing aircraft.

During his time as President Obongo promoted the sale of Boeing planes — including the 737 Max 8 planes — around the world.



In November 2011, in Bali, Indonesia, President Obongo announced an agreement between Boeing and Lion Air. (You will recall that a Lion Air 737 Max 8 crashed off the coast of Jakarta, Indonesia in October, 2018, killing all 189 on board.)

“For the last several days I’ve been talking about how we have to make sure that we’ve got a presence in this region, that it can result directly in jobs at home,” Obongo said.

“And what we see here — a multibillion-dollar deal between Lion Air — one of the fastest-growing airlines not just in the region, but in the world — and Boeing is going to result in over 100,000 jobs back in the United States of America, over a long period of time.”

“This represents the largest deal, if I’m not mistaken, that Boeing has ever done. We are looking at over 200 planes that are going to be sold.”

In September 2014, Obongo met with the Prime Minister of Ethiopia at the White House.

“We’re strong trading partners,” Obongo said. “And most recently, Boeing has done a deal with Ethiopia, which will result in jobs here in the United States.” (You will recall that an Ethiopian Airlines 737 Max 8 crashed in March, 2019 killing all 157 on board.)

“I’m expecting a gold watch from Boeing at the end of my presidency because I know I’m on the list of top salesmen at Boeing,” Obongo said at an export forum at the White House in September 2013.

While pushing the sale of Boeing planes around the world certainly did not cause or contribute to the Lion Air and Ethiopian Air crashes, what the Obongo administration did at the same time was fast track a dangerous deregulatory process at the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) that effectively put the aircraft manufacturer in charge of the safety certification process — and that in effect put Boeing in charge of certifying it’s faulty MCAS software that led, in large part, to the tragedies in Indonesia and Ethiopia.

And, so what did Obongo get from Boeing when he retired: A cool $10,000,000.00 (yes that's 10 million) donation to his presidential library / museum / theme park in Chicago. But .... being the cool dude that Obongo is, he did waive his customary $400,000.00 speaking fee when he spoke after his retirement at a Boeing Leadership Retreat at a swank Scottsdale, Arizona resort. Mighty Big of him ... Mighty Big!

Presidential library, museum and Theme Park.. That's rich, wonder what kind of rides will be in his Chicago theme park?
Car jacking ride, drug deal gone bad shooting gallery....

Well, a dude has to make a living somehow once he's out of a job.

L.W.

And Reggie Love mustache rides?

If one is going to steal through corruption, go big.

And people wonder how politicians get rich.

Ever wonder why a senator or congressman will spend millions of dollars on an election to get a job that pays $175K a year? There are thousands of companies willing to throw money at them through every channel they can in order in influence their vote. Every bit of it is bribe money but since they write the laws it's categorized as something else and all magically legal. Hillary Clinton getting a quarter million dollars a speech was all legal because she was of such high ethical standards that she'd never let that influence her decisions when she became President, right?

Nomohomobama is asking which channel is “Sanford and Son” on?

Makes me sick to hear his name.

*************** All of that .... and MORE .... in OBONGOLAND***************



******************* The Most Miserable Place On Earth ***********************

*************** All Rides & Attractions Guaranteed To Face Mecca **************

And a scientific study / exhibition showing how quickly Mooshell evolved from a male baboon.

WINNER - WINNER Chicken Dinner! (I have to admit .... that was good.)

Imagine Obongo getting 400k for a speech. This world has really gone [bleep] crazy

You're sure right on THAT account...

Then, pay people to actually sit there and listen to it.

No corruption here...…..move along, nothing to see...…….

Boeing has been complaining to the federal government about aircraft manufacturing being underwritten by European governments for years. These things are all part of the corruption of the lobbying efforts in our country.

On the web site above you can see how much is spent on lobbyists every year since 1998. The difference between today and 20 years ago is astounding 3.4 billion last year 1.4 billion in 1998. The other question is who are the lobbyists.

What's your point? Bush junior administration raised $341 million for his presidential library with half of it coming from just 16 donors. Most of it while still in office, and without disclosing names. You all are going to be shocked when you learn of trumps, no, no you won't.
