McCain Asks Obama About Pricey New Marine One

Filed under: Barack Obama, John McCain

Not fair to call it a grilling, as they are pretty jovial at the start and finish, plus I like Obama’s intro to inviting McCain in the question, and his disarming answer. But I think McCain was trying to score some points, burnishing his new image as fiscal warrior (remember that bank bailout you quit the campaign for senator?). Note that Obama said that he thought the old helicopters looked pretty good and that he had asked Secretary of Defense Gates to study the issue.

Lockheed Martin dropped 5% yesterday. More background here.
