The request for $1 million for the University of Chicago Medical Center was to help pay for construction of a new pavilion.

A new pavilion sounds nice. But, it is simply not the job of the Federal Government, or should I say, the Federal Income Tax Payer to build it.

And, this is true for the rest of the billions spent in this way.

Read #22..then compare that to the billions we send overseas, never to be seen again-to little punk dictators, and at one time-up until 9/11, the Taliban with $43 million in aid for its actions in banning the cultivation of poppy used to produce heroin and opium, etc. Obama has helped sponsored a bill to do just that. The bill, called the Global Poverty Act, is the type of legislation, "We can – and must – make … a priority," as OB, a co-sponsor. The cost? $845 billion over the next 13 years above what we already spend on foreign aid.

Remember his newly visited African village was flooded by diversions of swamp-water by an American Company Dominion and there were pleas for his help. Humanitarian groups took up their cause.

"The current flooding in south Bunyala was reported in the media a result of "the diversion of water" from Dominion swamp.

Obama never mentioned this again after returning from his visit to his native homeland (sic). I have always wondered if Dominion Group was anyway connected with Obama financially..but have not had the time to do the research.

Dominion Farms Ltd, an affiliate of the USA-based Dominion Group, based in Oklahoma, USA moved into the swamp through an arrangement with the Lake Basin Development Authority (LBDA). Dominion Group controls investments across the globe. The company operates luxury corporate hotels, is involved in modification of corporate aircrafts, ownership and operation of corporate aircraft, construction of houses and offices to be leased by the US government, manufacture of athletic dress and socks, correctional services and other businesses spanning several countries."

"The initial proposal was that Dominion would engage in rice production, in part of the swamp covering about 2,300 ha. This land portion had been reclaimed before 1970, and previously used by LBDA for agricultural activity. Dominion embarked on large-scale agricultural activities in the swamp following the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding with the Councils of Siaya and Bondo in May 2003."

I replied to you separately, as you might understand WHY after reading "my attitude" comment #22. ;)

Have a good day,
