#1 What if I said non-public transportation:
Peloski's private jet?

The jaunts to South Africa and tourist jump through Central America?

Puerto Rico for a fundraiser? Hawaii for a break?

Corporations
Does this include major airline corporations, or just the jets they make in places like Wichita KS (which are heavy union influenced)? Which, by the way, are one of the items the USA still exports.

Or the small business corps who handle private transport for celebrities and VIPs?

Of course we are not just talking about a jet. We are talking about every dial, diode, seat cushion, tire, wire; everything then service.

That's the same argument the White House advanced during the government takeover of the auto industry. Funny how it's okay for Detroit, but not for anyone else.

#3 Obama taunted Republicans on Wednesday, "and ask them, are they willing to compromise their kids' safety so that some corporate-jet owner continues to get a tax break?"

The usual politician's cry: It's for the kids!
A restatement of what Mark Halperin said would be appropriate.
