I would say the same for you. Look, like it or not, outsourcing such a big contract and during an election cycle no less is an issue. Your points are certainly well thought out, written and articulated but lets say Hillary Clinton had done this? Would you be so thoughtful and articulate then? I seriously doubt it.

Sometimes, especially during an election, the legal and routine thing to do doesn't trump was it the right thing to do. And seriously, I don't think Americans are incapable of making a plane that is just as safe. It may cost a bit more but then again, aren't we giving away money next month to try to stimulate the economy? With the plane contract staying at home and actually being spent employing American workers, I'd call it money better used.
