Obama: More F-22s an 'Inexcusable Waste'

In a victory for the Obama administration, as well as for Sen. John McCain

(R-AZ), the purchase of new F-22 fighter jets was stripped form the Defense authorization bill. The vote was 58-40, and only a simple majority was needed to pass the amendment — authored by McCain and Carl Levin (D-MI) — stripping the F-22 money.
