While Republicans and Democrats in Washington dueled over job creation in America, President Obama was overseas in the French resort-town of Deauville working to spur job creation in the Middle East--among a laundry list of other international matters.

With the so-called "Arab Spring" heating up into what some are now calling the "Arab Summer," leaders of the Group of Eight, more commonly known as the G8, have committed to help grow free economies and jobs in the region. Yet with several countries in the Middle East still engaged in serious conflict and uncertain political futures, the prospect for noticeable employment growth there could be just as dim as it has been for years in the G8 leaders' own backyards

Let us all pray that he stays there forever.

And in other news:

Saudis dispensed $4 billion in aid last week to shore up the ruling military council, to Yemen,

Giving out more of our tax money? Wow, he’s really generous with it. If he had made the money, I bet he wouldn’t be so generous with HIS money.

SS and Medicare - both which benefit Americans - are going "broke," yet we have billions and billions to give away to foreigners.
Not just any foreigners either ... America hating foreigners.

Joplin, Missouri gets torn in half. Alabama gets ripped to shreds. The Mississippi River is overflowing its banks... and they want to send our money where? This insanity must stop. I vote: F*** them.

"Arab Spring". "Arab Summer". Screw that. How about we work on an American Spring and Summer? It's not like we don't have people in this country in true need of help. It's enough to make your head explode.
