Robert, you're 100% correct. I'll leave the debate about piston vs. bizjets for somebody else (with an axe to grind). To me, GA is so small to the average Joe that splitting it up into piston and turbine segments is a meaningless and unhelpful distinction. We're all in the same boat.
Any objective observer would admit that Obama is completely hypocritical here. We love factory workers if they build cars, but somehow if they build Cessnas, we're allowed to trash them. I don't get it.
The bigger concern, for me, is that "business jet owners" is becoming a catch-all negative term that many politicians are using to sum up everything that's wrong with America. This is a cultural issue with major long term implications for GA--if we're associated with greed/excess/criminality/whatever, we're all hurt, even if we fly a Cub.
