If the money was in a bank then the bank would owe any interest, supposedly. If the money was in the U.S. Treasury then it did NOT exist - we are $20 tril in debt! Admittedly I am no international financier, but I am confident that nowhere in the world is there $150 bil sitting in a closet waiting for disposition.

Thus my question remains: where would 0bama get $100 bil+? The only answer I can come up with is that the international bankers supplied the moola. OK, WHY?
