The White House Friday highlighted a new multi-million-dollar technology fund for Muslim nations, following a pledge made by President Barack Obama in his landmark speech to the Islamic world.And goat herding. Don't forget goat herding. It's big in Muslim countries and if we're going to reduce our standard of living to their levels we're gonna need to know more about goat herding.
The White House said the US Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC) had issued a call for proposals for the fund, which will provide financing of between 25 and 150 million dollars for selected projects and funds.
The Global Technology and Innovation Fund will "catalyze and facilitate private sector investments" throughout Asia, the Middle East and Africa, the White House said in a statement.
Eligible projects would advance economic opportunity and create jobs in areas like technology, education, telecoms, media, business services and clean technology, the White House said.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't there a lot of Muslim countries awash with oil money that's being used to buy bigger yachts, larger airplanes, and more lavish palaces for the inbred monarchs that run those places? Couldn't they spare a few minutes oil wealth to try and develop some new technology that will sustain them should the oil wealth begin to fade? Why is it our responsibility to take care of that?
Maybe this explains it:

Maybe one of Obama's plans after sending our Taxpayer money to these countries that hate us, will be to send our Unemployed U.S. Workers over there to fill the jobs they will be needing.
