I am sure none of these job sectors here in the US has had any job lost at all and don't need addiontional funds to if the federal government is going to give it away for devolopment...but hey, we are broke as a country other then the money barry is printing or borrowing, so i gisee the fact that he is giving it to his "brotha's" is not that big a deal.....

And don't start with the Stimulus, even his own minions are coming out now and saying the benefits are done and it ddn't do much of anything....other then let him "speak' of what he has done....

Obama offers millions in Muslim technology fund

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" throughout Asia, the Middle East and Africa, the White House said in a statement.

Eligible projects would advance economic opportunity and create jobs in areas like technology, education, telecoms, media, business services and clean technology, the White House said.

OPIC said sample projects could help foster the development of new computer technology or telecommunications businesses, or widen access to broadband Internet services.

Proposals must be submitted by the end of November, and managers of funds that make a final short list will make presentations in Washington in January.

Final selections will be announced next June.

In his speech to the Muslim world in Cairo last June, Obama argued that "education and innovation will be the currency of the 21st century" and that under-investment was rife in many Muslim nations.

As well as the fund, Obama also said he will host a summit on entrepreneurship this year to deepen ties between business leaders in the United States and Muslim communities around the world.

In his speech on June 4, Obama vowed to forge a "new beginning" for Islam and America, promising to purge years of "suspicion and discord."

In what may be one of the defining moments of his presidency, Obama laid out a new blueprint for US Middle East policy, pledged to end mistrust, forge a state for Palestinians and defuse a nuclear showdown with Iran.

There are what 10 Muslim countries growing extremely rich with oil exports and it is the US that is to fund their telecommunications infrastructure? Seems really stupid to me. It seems Muslim countries don't help each other with funding although I do remember the Palestinian Minister that went on a trip and came back with millions of dollars in his suitcases.

There is very little that Barry is doing right. In reality, he just sucks. Other than that, he is bad, rotten, disgusting and or crummy.

If a president speaks of creating jobs in other parts of the world, while the unemployment rate is rising, then we have a president who is out of touch with reality. The bad thing is we have Biden and Pelosi in the wings which are worst.

Well Greg, THIS IS what the majority of those who voted ASKED for. I hope they like it!! That is, IF the vote was REAL!! Who knows just how bad the fraud was?
