Maybe it's similar to the contraversy over the recent Train contract the UK government decided on. The UK government had a decision to make deciding on what company had the best deal to create new trains, the last UK train manufacturer or a German one, they decided on the German one as it was 'better for the tax payer'.
Of course, relating this back to Obama's situation it's a matter of scale. Should Obama buy and employ the best armoured bus he can get or the local armoured bus he can get. The UK incident was worth over 1 billion pounds, this isn't.
Hmm, pie.
