I asked the question, ‘Where Is The Money’, well I got my answer. Wanted to share with you. Why such directed corrupt and wasteful spending.

Do you remember during the elections the term “inexperience”, well a demonstration of Obama’s Inexperience was demonstrated to British Prime Minister Gordon Brown. See Obama has no idea of what is going on, neither does his wife, I had to include this cause she is the First Lady. Prime Minister Brown took great steps to make sure the President Of The United States Of America received meaningful gifts as a tradition when visiting the White House.
