Barry the Great pledges tens of MILLIONS of dollars for Muslim nations.
(It wouldn't be so bad if Chairman MaObama wasn't already spending BILLIONS in Iraq and Afghanistan)
The White House Friday highlighted a new multi-million-dollar technology fund for Muslim nations, following a pledge made by President Barack Obama in his landmark speech to the Islamic world.
The White House said the US Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC) had issued a call for proposals for the fund, which will provide financing of between 25 and 150 million dollars for selected projects and funds.
The Global Technology and Innovation Fund will "catalyze and facilitate private sector investments" the White House said in a statement.
Eligible projects would advance economic opportunity and create jobs.
(We could use a few jobs at home Barry)

Two wrongs don't make a right. Poor behavior by previous Presidents doesn't make Barry's behavior acceptable.
You've GOT to be kidding me...blaming Obama for an unnecessary War in Iraq that he didn't start & wasn't in favor of in the first place is just plain stupid.
"25 and 150 million dollars for selected projects and funds."
LOL...can you say less than a drop in the bucket when compared to the total amount of U.S. spending per year?? My goodness you're stupid mitciv.
"did any of the last half dozen US presidents do the same where my world map shows a country called Israel?"
We give billions to Israel every single year BTW.
"Poor behavior by previous Presidents doesn't make Barry's behavior acceptable."
Once again, moron, you are attempting to blame Obama for something that he had *nothing to do with* (the Iraq War), which is just plain stupid. Under his leadership, we will be getting the vast majority of our troops out of there starting next year, period.
This is an unfair statement to make.. It was W. that started the war and dug ourselves in deep to it. Obama was not a big supporter of the war.
Chris Rock Joke: Is america ready for a black president? well we should be, we just had a retarded one.
Maobama has the blood of brave young American boys on his hands.
Really...and just leave all of our equipment on the field?? I don't think so, moron.
"He is sticking to the W agreement for withdrawal from Iraq, and has actually increased the troops in Afghanistan."
LOL...yea, yea...GWB was real excited to get out of Iraq, which is why he made sure that our troops would be there through the end of his term. BTW, the Taliban & Al-Qaeda originally came from Afghanistan, moron.
No, it actually makes me feel sorry for the person that I'm calling a moron, but believe me...you've unfortunately earned that moniker, moron.
150 million dollars could pay the salaries of 3000 teachers here in America!
It could pay for a lot more than 3,000 lap dances!
Dancers sure could use the bucks !!!
First, it may be a lot more than a $150 million dollar giveaway; a thousand funds may be selected. Second, it probably gives a much greater bang for the buck to be shipping these dollars overseas instead of spending 'em here in the U.S.----gotta get those 3rd worlders loving dollars. And, the dollars are essentially free----sir, how many computer credits would you like to today? $150 million? Not a problem. A win/win for imperialists and holy warriors.
Besides, don't our kids have enough grief without hiring 3,000 more government teachers? The Wall Street Journal did an excellent piece showing more money for teachers didn't seem to help the children and may have actually hurt 'em as far as getting a quality education. Low salaries and fewer teachers might mean better education.
OR
$150 million to our competitors and/or enemies
Easy choice for me. Which side are you on Barry Obama?
I find it amazing how many idiots do not grasp the war in Iraq and all that surrounds it. The war WITH Iraq was over when GWB stated, "Mission Accomplished". We HAD defeated the murderous hussien dictatorship. Now we did not find all the WMD that were ancisiapte by most in the know through out the world, including the heroes of the liberals, the clintons! And of course these same liberals claim GWB lied, in in fact, this is what he was told by those empowered to know and tell him.
Now as for me, I suspect there were many more WMDs that were transported out of Iraq while the UN and many others in the world dragged their feet and wrung their hands trying to figure "Oh what to do?" Thank God we had GWB in the WH and we have remained safe since then. Will that continue, my guess is, no.
Who ever said that this money would be ending up in the hands of our "enemies"??
"The war WITH Iraq was over when GWB stated, 'Mission Accomplished'"
...tell that to the insurgency that continued on, moron.
"We HAD defeated the murderous hussien dictatorship"
...which we had previously supported with weapons, money and vital intelligence.
"Now we did not find all the WMD that were ancisiapte by most in the know through out the world"
No, make that we found NO WMDs at all, because as many people new at the time...Iraq had NO WMDs, period.
"Now as for me, I suspect there were many more WMDs that were transported out of Iraq while the UN and many others in the world dragged their feet and wrung their hands trying to figure 'Oh what to do?'"
Except for the fact that there is ZERO credibile evidence of this. Heck, even the Bush Regime never endorsed this idea, but the facts be damned!
MISTERGAY WON A FEW THIS TIME!
MisterGay - "Who ever said that this money would be ending up in the hands of our 'enemies'??"
I said "competitors and/or enemies". MrGay you MORON! MORON! MORON!
Nobody(not even MisterGay) knows exactly who will get the money, but at the very least they will be our competitors if not enemies.
OR
$150 million to our competitors and/or enemies
I choose the former. Which side are you on Barry Obama?
Adorable. :) Most likely they'd be our enemies . . . however, with President Obama running the show they might well become our close partners in a better world. Peace prize? I say only one???
Throwing money at the enemy might be the shrewdest strategy bar none. I read a blurb that just as the U.S. government paid Iraqi insurgents to switch sides the same plan has been given a big YES for the Taliban. Can we say roll out a few more peace prizes? BTW, the pea-brained President Bush started this excellent strategy----for all the wrong reasons. He just wanted to buy a little short time peace so as to be able to crow the absurd surge worked . . . course American being uninformed for most part bought the bait and switch lock, stock, and barrel.
15 million lap dances sounds good, but we'd need to import impoverished young girls from around the globe or dances might end up $100 a dance----for a no contact table dance. Generally, as I think most economists would point out it makes a lot more sense to ship the free money overseas by the BILLIONS or give to the wealthy here in America so that the prices of basic goods and services don't go thru the roof. For example, it is better Bill Gates gets $150 million than if the money was spread among wage slaves here locally e.g. wage slaves may very well spend those new dollars buying more food, clothing, housing, etc. potentially creating an inflationary spiral.
Dougster,
"So much so that evenshort-bus riding MisterGay looks like a genius by comparison...". Anyone can look like a genius if they do not bother with facts in a debate. Your friend is not worthy of my time since he would not admi when he was shown wrong, and on numerous occasions. I am sure his next post will be something like, "I was wrong? When was this? Prove it.". That is typical of those that fabricate, always asking for the proof AGAIN (I guess short memory as well as short bus). Those that will not admit mistakes are just not worth the effort!
I said 'competitors and/or enemies'."
And I say again, HOW will ANY of this money end up in the hands of our "enemies"?? BTW, I'll assume by your complete lack of response to this question that you don't know and are simply making things up to try & smear Obama, period.
"Nobody knows exactly who will get the money, but at the very least they will be our competitors if not enemies."
Once again, there are NO standards for who gets this money?? I doubt it, moron. Try again...BTW, the Bush Regime gave the Taliban *billions* of dollars to help "fight" the poppy trade before 9/11.
-----------------------------------------
"Anyone can look like a genius if they do not bother with facts in a debate."
"Those that will not admit mistakes are just not worth the effort!"
Wow...let me explain the term *irony* to you clubber. ALL of these statements can very, very easily be applied to YOU of all people, and you make them over & over again without admitting the many indefensible positions that you have taken here on this site!
Instead of just ignoring my attacks of your obviously pea-brained positions, you "respond" with a complete & total *non-response* ("YAWN!" & the like), which merely clearly indicates to others that you are able to feebly dish it out, but you are completely unwilling to take it in return. That is the *definition* of someone that does a "drive by" comment and then runs away when challenged, period.
I swear, you've got to be one of the most dense individuals that I've ever run across on the Internet...you really, truly just don't get it...run away now old man...
MORON! MORON! MORON!
Correct, and when I've proved it wrong, it would only need to acknowledge such and we could have continued a civil discourse. Alas, that was beyond it's capabilities.
Of course, I would never "ignore" it since it does inject humor with it's idiocy.
...which you've quite simply NEVER done, old man...lol...
I love your new American flag. Although President Obama must have been sent by God to rebuild and rescue America, it is probably too impossible a job. Time for another flood. :)
Obama names 110 White House visitors: Includes Soros, Gingrich, Sharpton, Malik Shabazz of the Black Panther Party, et al. – All the president's men? From the people's house to outhouse in one election ...
Ummmm, the GOPer clearly beat the Dem in NJ, who was a horrible Governor from what I've been told. I'm also not a fan of people, from either side of the political isle, that try & buy an election with millions & millions of their own money.
As per usual mitciv, this post above is just you blowing more hot air...ugh...
That is what happened Sunday on a quiet street in Morris Township. The officer, who’s name we are with holding, specifically heard the men discussing that he was a police officer and that they now know where he lives. The officer confronted the men and they took off. He contacted the local police who responded and caught up with them and about a dozen other men a few blocks away. According to the police report, the men were known criminals and when asked why they were in the neighborhood they stated they were
“campaigning for the Democratic Party.â€

Michael Savage, a right wing extremist! Can't believe anything he says since he is a right wing idiot. Anything he says is a lie!
Just thought I'd post that before the liberals post it. You know they can't deal with facts, of course.
"You know they can't deal with facts"
What "facts"?? LOL...
See, I hit the nail right on the head.
No, you hit yourself right in the face and made yourself look like the reactionary, idiot Right-winger that you really are clubber...lol...
What happened at Fort Hood was a tragedy, but I believe it would be an even greater tragedy if our diversity becomes a casualty here.
Can you believe this guy?
I know...championing diversity in a country where one of its main strengths is the diversity of its melting pot...my goodness, how "silly"...
pwing you over & over again is such fun clubber...lol...
So MisterGay agrees with Casey
Barack Hussein Obama is decades long devote of Black Liberation Theology, believing that whites have stolen black wealth and privileges that should be returned. It is a mix of economic Marxism and social fascism.
This country desperately needs a healthy dose of marxism and black liberation. If in this wealthy country health care needs to be rationed it seems only fair that whitey finally get the short end of the stick. Maybe that will wake up a few of these imbeciles to routine injustices that blacks have long faced. Also, whitey can use a healthy dose of racist black police officers abusing their power----that might wake up even the slowest whitey to what blacks have faced and still face. Oh and whitey needs to go thru a racist meat grinder known as the justice system and let's see if he still remains as stupid as ever. I wonder if the mindless chirping about a supposed need for a war on terror would continue-----my guess is no way no how. Social justice will suddenly system like the main issue of importance with so called "terrorism" seen as the relative trivia it is.
Heck, muslims probably kill more Americans EACH year on the nation's highways then the total killed on 911. The math? Let's say there are 50,000 dead Americans yearly due to traffic accidents and that muslims represent 10% of drivers and are proportionally represented in deadly accidents. That equals 5,000 dead Americans EACH year due to Muslims. Let's say Muslims are only 5% of drivers . . . well that is 2,500 dead Americans yearly. Time for the U.S. government to start launching missiles at the nations highways.
A more scarey thought. Medical incompetence supposedly equals 150,000 dead Americans EACH year. If Muslims are responsible for 10% that is 15,000 dead Americans. Dang, the government needs to start blowing up the hospitals.

Good word! MisterGay has found the one place in the world where he can find people so whacky in their politics that they are even dumber than he is, and now MisterGay thinks he is the king of the world. Back on the short bus back to special ed for you MisterGay!
Stephen Lynch wrote a song about "it". He called him ed, but we all know who he was singing about. Check it on Youtube at the below URL:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pfFRv_1Xd…
Nonsense. Some of the Harry Potter books are apparently nearly as long as some of the proposed bills.
"is a requirement for an 'Office of Civil Rights,'"
...which already existys in the Dept. of Education, moron.
"These are some of the devil in the details because it sets the stage for rationing health care away from white people and towards blacks."
LMAO! That's got to be one of the most wildly untrue & racist things ever said in this forum...congrats on that one mitciv...now go write a strip club review...
"Barack Hussein Obama is decades long devote of Black Liberation Theology"
Nope, wrong again wing-nut. Feel free to give up anytime now.
Your above comment is an insult to morons!
How is that even possible moron, since none of them have any validity to themselves in the first place?!
Whether a jury ultimately convicts KSM and his fellows, or sentences them to death, is beside the point. The treatment of the 9/11 attacks as a criminal matter rather than as an act of war will cripple American efforts to fight terrorism. It is in effect a declaration that this nation is no longer at war.
KSM is the self-proclaimed mastermind of the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon—and a "terrorist entrepreneur," according to the 9/11 Commission report. He was the brains behind a succession of operations against the U.S., including the 1996 "Bojinka plot" to crash jetliners into American cities. Together with Osama bin Laden, he selected the 9/11 terrorists, arranged their financing and training, and ran the whole operation from abroad.
After the U.S. invasion of Afghanistan KSM eventually became bin Laden's operations chief. American and Pakistani intelligence forces captured him on March 1, 2003, in Rawalpindi, Pakistan.
Now, however, KSM and his co-defendants will enjoy the benefits and rights that the Constitution accords to citizens and resident aliens—including the right to demand that the government produce in open court all of the information that it has on them, and how it got it.
Prosecutors will be forced to reveal U.S. intelligence on KSM, the methods and sources for acquiring its information, and his relationships to fellow al Qaeda operatives. The information will enable al Qaeda to drop plans and personnel whose cover is blown. It will enable it to detect our means of intelligence-gathering, and to push forward into areas we know nothing about.
This is not hypothetical, as former federal prosecutor Andrew McCarthy has explained. During the 1993 World Trade Center bombing trial of Sheikh Omar Abdel Rahman (aka the "blind Sheikh"), standard criminal trial rules required the government to turn over to the defendants a list of 200 possible co-conspirators.
In essence, this list was a sketch of American intelligence on al Qaeda. According to Mr. McCarthy, who tried the case, it was delivered to bin Laden in Sudan on a silver platter within days of its production as a court exhibit.
"This is not a decision that I would have made. I think terrorism isn't just attack, it's anxiety and I think you feel the anxiety and frustration of New Yorkers who took the bullet for the rest of the country," he said.
...except for the fact that likely not everything that's submitted will, in fact, be made public.
"The proceedings will tie up judges for years on issues best left to the president and Congress."
Riiiight, because we elect the Legislative & Executive branches of govt. to do the work of the Judiciary...not...
"The treatment of the 9/11 attacks as a criminal matter rather than as an act of war will cripple American efforts to fight terrorism"
...but having the guilty pay for their crimes...not...
"It is in effect a declaration that this nation is no longer at war"
...which we aren't anymore, since the so-called "War on Terror" was a complete joke in the first place. We are at war however with Al-Qaeda & their allies, period.
"Prosecutors will be forced to reveal U.S. intelligence on KSM, the methods and sources for acquiring its information"
Nope, wrong again wing-nut.
"The information will enable al Qaeda to drop plans and personnel whose cover is blown. It will enable it to detect our means of intelligence-gathering, and to push forward into areas we know nothing about."
Newsflash wing-nuts: GWB is no longer in office...fear-mongering doesn't work to motivate the majority of American public anymore. They have grown tired of Chicken Little rants like this.
"A plan to slash more than $500 billion from future Medicare spending — one of the biggest sources of funding for President Obama's proposed overhaul of the nation's health-care system — would sharply reduce benefits for some senior citizens and could jeopardize access to care for millions of others"
Once again, wrong again wing-nut. While I submit that Obama will not be able to gain as much savings in Medicare spending as he likely says he will, there will be ZERO cuts to actual senior care & benefits, period.
Once again, we see the helpless, mindless troll mitciv spewing tons & tons of lies & propaganda in a desperate & failed attempt to smear Obama. LOL...oh well...
Who talks like that other than pompous trust fund brats?
The French (along with akimbo merci mademoiselle etc.), pseudo-conservatives (along with bend over young man etc.), and dancers earning $$$ (along with that's $5 in advance or gimme a $1 or etc.).
OR
$150 million to our competitors and/or enemies?
I choose the former. Which side are you on?
I choose BOTH!!! It ain't like endlessly creating computer credits representing $$$ should be sweated too much.
Besides it crucially strategic that our competitors and enemies become addicted to dollars. Ever ask yourself what these esteemed ladies and gentlemen do with American dollars? Buy goods and services (ultimately)-----we ostensibly want more demand for our goods and services. Invest in America (ultimately)----we supposedly wish to encourage investment.
The failure of scarcity fearmongering in general is statism.
I wonder how many lap dances are given daily in the US?
"I think we should get the heck outta Afghanistan. Agree or disagree?"
Sounds fantastic to me and this might be the only time I've agreed with you besides you not being in love with former President Bush. However, I will of course defer to President Obama's brilliance-----he may figure a few dead American soldiers is a small price to pay in order to keep Republicans from really frothing at the mouth while at the same time keeping 'em busy. The real saving of American lives will take place in the hospitals, schools, environment, transportation, etc.; the terrorism nonsense is just fluff for the chest beaters who don't like thinking at all. Heck, some pseudo-conservatives actually brag about their lack of thinking/reading as if that were some type of badge of honor.
You catch that? Talk about the pot calling the kettle black!!!

Cage, a UN Goodwill Ambassador on Drugs & Crime, was in Mombasa to tour the Shimo La Tewa prison, where many captured Somali pirates are being held.
"I'm in a position where I can actually make some sense and talk about it when I go back to the States," Cage told The Associated Press.
The star of the new "Bad Lieutenant" remake, who owes the IRS $6.6 million, might be safer in Kenya, where he won't be able to spend his Hollywood millions so quickly.
The more illegal immigrants the better. My area has a massive population of Haitians------and although I prefer black dancers who are more autochthonous, they do assist in keeping prices down. I shudder to think where I'd be without the $5 dances.
Oh, screw the "legal" immigration; all we need is a government with even more control------unless that be a marxist government. Marxism will be bring equality of wealth, accountablity, justice, etc.
I've seen President Obama praise former President Reagan. Time for President Obama to take a play from a true conservative's playbook when it comes to winning in Afghanistan. Declare victory as run like hell!!! :)
Won't the American people be intelligent enough to figure that out? Not if fairly recent history be any guide. Besides those that are intelligent enough to see thru it will generally just be too damn grateful to point out the obvious. And, the dumb dumbs will be overjoyed at a victory over the "terrorists."
I think the problem is that President Obama just can't believe oridinary folks actually fall for such an blatant ruses.
Nothing, it just makes a whole lot more sense for the military & law enforcement to conduct their own investigation that to have some politically-motivated witch hunt.
