Obama to offer financial aid to Arab world - Israel News, Ynetnews

Obama to offer financial aid to Arab world - Israel News, Ynetnews: "Obama is slated to offer Egypt 1$ billion in aid, at Cairo's request, by dropping former debts and providing incentives and guarantees for investments in work places and developing trade with the European Union. The process is to be gradual and will require political and financial reforms including a war on corruption.
 
Revolutions in the Middle East and North Africa are a historic opportunity to fulfill citizens' wishes for political freedom and financial opportunities, the president is expected to say.
 
Obama will add that after years of tensions, ending the war in Iraq and the elimination of Osama bin Laden were a chance for the US to turn over a new leaf in the Middle East."

Editors Note: "I must say that the concept says really great! In this era of 15 Trillion Dollar deficits, the 1 Billion actually sounds like chump change (and its coming mostly from debt forgiveness?). Sounds like Obama has figured out his upcoming sound bytes on this one real well!

A scientist who pays attention not to the public statements, but to the record of past United States behaviors towards Iran and Israel, will have to be surprised if the US attacks Iran.

Naturally, a scientist must predict what she expects, not what would surprise her, so the scientific prediction here is that the US will not attack Iran.




But can we think of an alternative reason, then, for all this media noise concerning Iran’s nukes?

Yes: I believe the point of this is to produce a diplomatic effort to strip Israel of its nuclear arsenal.



For example, take a look at the Toronto Star:


“That Iran’s nuclear research program must come back under UN control goes without saying. But for that country’s pride, some counter-weight has to be offered.”[1]

Official: Obama wants to halve budget deficit

Official: Obama wants to halve budget deficit: "Obama's proposal for the 2010 fiscal year that begins Oct. 1 projects that the estimated $1.3 trillion deficit he has inherited from former President George W. Bush will be halved to $533 billion by 2013. That's a difference of 9.2 percent of the overall economy now vs. 3 percent in four years.
'We can't generate sustained growth without getting our deficits under control,' Obama said in his weekly radio and Internet address that seemed to preview his intentions. He said his budget will be 'sober in its assessments, honest in its accounting, and lays out in detail my strategy for investing in what we need, cutting what we don't, and restoring fiscal discipline.'"

GM, Chrysler seek billions more, to cut more jobs

GM, Chrysler seek billions more, to cut more jobs: "Chrysler said it will cut 3,000 more jobs and stop producing three vehicle models.
The grim reports came as the United Auto Workers union said it had reached a tentative agreement with GM, Chrysler and Ford Motor Co. on contract changes. Concessions with the union and debt-holders were a condition of the government bailout.
GM said it could need up to $30 billion from the Treasury Department, up from a previous estimate of $18 billion. That includes $13.4 billion the company has already received. The world's largest automaker said it could run out of money by March without new funds and needs $2 billion next month and another $2.6 billion in April."

JUST SAY NO!

Vote Now!

Vote Now!: "Zetsche said he thinks the public is only willing to pay for fuel saving technology that can be paid back in a short time, three to four years at the most. On the economy, Zetsche said the slowdown has not had much impact on Daimler's business so far. This means that Daimler customers are not jumping on the subway, at least not the ones that sell real estate, he joked"

Was it taken out of time, or out of context asked the publisher'e editor.

Yes!!!! I found it.

Found what asked the highly overpaid, undertrained, overtired worker on the factory shop floor?

The suitcase with the cash!

"What suitcase with the cash?" The shop steward now left his post to hear the gossip on the factory shop floor. What is the horrible sound ? asked Shop Stew

Oh that's just the safety inspection failed whistle, we hear that all the time!

We'll shut the darn thing off, I'm trying to hear the latest from Zetsche, he just got back from DC! stated Stew clearly giving a direct order.

Sure, whatever your my Union Rep, oUo W. shut the switch, now it was just the usual clanging, blanging, sparks flying from the spot welder line, of the old assembly line.

A blast of Hard Rock music came pouring into the machine workers parking lot. One buy one everyone of the 140 different assembly lines came to a screaching halt as people started to line up for the roach coach to purchase some greasy heroes, burgers, and burrittos. Others walked swiftly to their lockers grabbing their lunches snacks a coffee.

Yes! The 10:30 AM break, life on the line does not get better then this except of course at the 12 noon lunch hour!

Stew and oUo W. abruptly stopped talking. The break stops everything. That was the first thing that was explained during the mandatory 3 hour training session for new line workers. Zetsche wae s left standing alone tightly gripping onto the suitcase full of cash he just brought back from D.C.


Real satire from A.M. Sanders.
