Scorecard: Obama and high-priced weapons systems

F-22 fighter — Obama has threatened to veto any bill to fund the fighter jet. Both the House and Senate are complying.

F-35 fighter — Lawmakers think they've skirted a veto threat over their efforts to continue funding a second engine for the Air Force's next-generation fighter.

C-17 cargo jet — Obama's opposition to this popular Boeing Co. aircraft has seemed soft. Congress is set to fund production of perhaps 10 additional planes.

VH-71 presidential helicopter — With a veto threat, Obama seems poised to kill off this troubled and over-budget replacement for the presidential helicopter fleet. Some House supporters of the helicopter are fighting on.
