Osprey for Obama?

Suggesting that the half Indian S-92 is "all American" and is safer than the VH-71 was bizarre enough, but putting Obama in the Osprey is just cruel. Do you yanks really hate him that much, or was it the Spanish Prime minister's suggestion? Even the thought of the presidential airborne cavalcade trying to keep up should be enough to disqualify the tiltrotor as an option. If you can only fly as fast as the slowest aircraft then all the aircraft must be tiltrotors, or none of them (or is that too logical?).
At least TATA have a contract with Boeing as well, so they win either way!
long live free trade.
Laugh!
