We need a little humor to spice up our day! :D Here is President Obama saying, "It's good to be the king." I love this movie! CLASSIC! Count de Money Count de Money L☺L Check out the peasants "THE PEOPLE" begging Count de Money for help!
We're just wiping our arses with BILLIONS of dollars! It's no wonder why CHINA has started selling off their US treasury holdings! Washington has champaign taste with a beer budget! They're running up the credit card bill on nonsense expenditures and WILL LEAVE THE TAXPAYERS TO FOOT THE BILL. Meanwhile, we still have STARVING and HOMELESS FAMILIES of our own here in the US! Not to mention the RISING NUMBER of unemployed fellow Americans! Screw them, let's go help other countries! Can you understand NOW why I get so pissed off?!?!
My friend Russ added, "Yeah, and ANOTHER thing - I have been pissed since Katrina - when we give aid to another country that has a disaster like the tsunamis and earthquakes and floods, we GIVE Them a GRANT - when OUR OWN Family of Citizens Suffer a Disaster, we Offer them a Low Interest LOAN!!!! THAT is PATHETIC - if ANYBODY should get Free Aid in the wake of a Disaster, it should be OUR OWN!!!! ARRRRGGGH......."
Another friend Amanda said, "Amen, Russ. The gov't acts like it's their money and they're free to give it to whomever they want. Um, someone needs to tell them that it's OUR money and we should start improvement and help others here first."

The Obama administration is focused not just on health-care reform in the United States – but also on improving health care systems around the world, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton announced on Monday.
The new plan has a “woman- and girl-centered approach,” according to an administration fact sheet.
Speaking at Johns Hopkins University, Clinton outlined the six-year, $63-billion Obama administration initiative to bring global health care services “to more people in more places.” The administration’s Global Health Initiative has “everything” to do with foreign policy, she said.
Making global health care local
The centerpiece of the Obama administration’s Global Health Initiative will be to encourage and help developing countries run their own health care systems instead of relying on foreign aid workers. This part of the plan will have U.S. aid workers and diplomats work with foreign governments to design locally administered health care systems that – while funded through international aid networks – will be run by local governments.
Clinton explained that this aspect of global health addresses not just a humanitarian concern but a geopolitical one as well, since poor, weak states often are crippled in part because of poor public health.
“We invest in global health to strengthen fragile or failing states,” Clinton said. “We have seen the devastating impact of HIV-AIDS on countries stripped of their farmers, teachers, soldiers, health workers, and other professionals.”
