It's not like this was a secret deal or anything like that, either. It was publicly announced last November (which leaves me wondering why all of these morons in the media and in government have waited three months to express their concern over it), and the name of the UAE company buying out P&O Port is Dubai Ports World.

There is another thread floating around FR today that says the President just found out about it last week. I sure did not hear about it in November and I bet you didn't either.

It may have been public knowledge for three months but it was not broadly known. It did not become news until some moron approved the transaction and that was just recently.
