Now, CNN's Lou Dobbs is so upset, he's pushing for impeachment. "Every Congressman and Woman who supports it and this President! There should be absolute recalls and impeachment because this is the death now of National Security and it's that serious in my opinion."
The outspoken talk show host is not alone. Many are outraged by the Air Force's decision to pick Northrop over Boeing.
The Northrop team is coming up with a plan to diffuse all the negative news. Commissioner Steve Nodine says he believes the plan will work.
"I'm very confident in Northrop Grumman's ability of mounting a PR war and that's exactly what we have to have to ensure that we keep this project."
Bob Chappelle with the Mobile Area Chamber of Commerce says that they are ready to help. 'They'll be there numbers to call, activities to engage in, websites to link to and letters to be written. We will send the message for the next 100 days if necessary that America's tanker should be built in Mobile, Alabama."
Public Relations expert Kinnon Phillips says laying low right now is a smart decision. "We won and we're on offense. When you're on offense, it's just like the front runner in a political race... there's no need at this point to say much of anything."
The war of words is also being waged on the Internet. A Kansas Congressman set up a website asking people to sign a petition to overturn the Air Force's decision. So Mobile County started a website called KeepOurTanker.com

I agree a lot of the times with MR.Dobbs on a lot of his subjects or causes,but on this we are a 180 degrees apart.I think he is either being fed wrong data or he has ties to someone or something in seattle.In this case he’s just a rented donkey carrying some of the load for boeing and investors.
