John McCain spent last week touring Europe and the Middle East. He met with the President of France who should have been very thankful for the thousands of jobs that McCain has sent his way.
McCain stepped in to make it easier for EADS/Airbus to get the contract for the Air Force refueling tankers over Boeing. As covered by
the Associated Press,
TIME Magazine and others, three of his campaign advisers lobbied for EADS and his campaign received $28,000 from EADS execs, lobbyists, and employees after starting to speak out on EADS’ behalf.
According to AFL-CIO’s blog,
if Boeing had won the contract, it would have supported 44,000 good jobs in more than 40 states, many of which would have been union jobs.
