yeah, obama wants to cut the f-22 for the navy, but wants to give the air force a plane they don't want. i haven't read the details, but i'd venture a guess they're made by two different contractors, and a senator wants the latter for his contractor....
I am talking about the airplanes Congress is getting for themselves - for taxpayer funded travel of Congressmen.

Yes, the F-22 should be cut, the Navy doesn't even want it.
