Summary: In an interview immediately following President Obama's June 29, 2011, press conference, in which the president repeatedly vilified business aviation, NBAA President and CEO Ed Bolen discussed the response he's been sharing with news outlets across the country. "[The president] just simply perpetuated a caricature of business aviation that is at odds with the reality of how this industry operates in the United States." In the wake of the president's remarks, NBAA has conveyed the same message to news outlets including The Wall Street Journal, USA Today, Bloomberg News, CNBC, CBS Marketwatch and a host of others.
