Fox News (and the Washington Post) are reporting that today’s speech by President Obama will discuss the “Five Pillars” of the recovery of the U.S. Economy.
If you’re thinking…. I’ve heard the phrase “Five Pillars Of…” before, you’re right. Islam’s core belief system is called the Five Pillars of Islam.
For partial credit, you might have thought of the Seven Pillars of Kwanzaa.
Just wait until you read the Ten Commandments of Obama.
On a post over on the radio blog, I detailed how Textron got itself entangled in the Radio business. Textron’s main products are Cessna airplanes and Bell Helicopters. Textron is also involved in designing control systems for other military weapons.
Bell Helicopters are used by the US military and they were involved in building the new fleet of presidential helicopters that was just cancelled. Textron was already obviously in finanical distress before that announcement. The “war on private airplane travel” particularly hit Textron hard.
So today’s news is a group in the United Arab Emerites wants to buy Textron.
Anyone have a problem with folks in the middle east owning the company that makes aircraft and weapon control systems for the US military, and airplanes?
After all, we’re not at war with Islam – there is no risk here – we’re all part of the same community.
