Reporting from Washington— Moammar Kadafi secretly salted away more than $200 billion in bank accounts, real estate and corporate investments around the world …….
U.S. and European authorities said Friday that they intended to quickly hand over frozen assets to the transitional Libyan government. But so far, the U.N. has authorized release of only $1.5 billion from accounts in the U.S., and the Obama administration has turned over $700 million of that amount, said Marti Adams, a Treasury Department spokeswoman.
Some African nations were reluctant to freeze Libyan accounts at all because of their loyalty to Kadafi. Others feared that freezing Libyan assets could hurt their domestic economies as bills and workers went unpaid.
POWERLINE has an excellent video on Carter, Obama. Whoever.

I’ve been asking, and someone provided the answer:
Reuters: Soros Money Is Behind Occupy Wall Street Protests
Hey, Occupiers! If you’re dead set about redistributing wealth, why are you settling for a mere pittance from one of the wealthiest men on the planet?

Soon, the only use left for coal will be placing it in EPA’s Christmas stocking.
Thank the Grinch, folks, er, Obama.

That isn’t their job.
The U.S. Constitution does not empower the Federal Government to define our responsibilities to purchase anything.
