How about giving that money to the electric companies and paying OUR overpriced electric bills...when are those of us born here gonna get some kind of "amnesty"...I'm begining to really think this guy is George W. Lite...spend it all and give it away.
Maybe Obama is going to buy up all the coal that can't be used in the USA because he pretends he cares about global warming and give it to the African nations.
Meanwhile he is following through on his promise to make our bills skyrocket in the old USofA. What a leader.
(CNN) -- U.S. President Barack Obama pledged $7 billion Sunday to help combat frequent power blackouts in sub-Saharan Africa.
Funds from the initiative, dubbed Power Africa, will be distributed over the next five years. Obama made the announcement during his trip to South Africa, the continent's biggest economy.
"Access to electricity is fundamental to opportunity in this age. It's the light that children study by, the energy that allows an idea to be transformed into a real business. It's the lifeline for families to meet their most basic needs, and it's the connection that's needed to plug Africa into the grid of the global economy," he said.
Does anyone besides myself understand WHY he is taking this initiative and How important it is? If so, send me a PM and we will talk.
Otherwise, entertain yourselves.
Thats great but just where in the hell is he going to get the money?More power =better living conditions. better living conditions = more breeding more breeding = a new 100 million batch of HIV infected starving children who will be making more babies.
