The U.S. is still the largest recipient of foreign investment in the world,
Obama said,
"but we've been a little bit lazy, I think, over the last couple of decades."
It's wonderful to hear that our President has such little faith in our society, even though it is we, the American people, who fund this man's welfare, safety, travel and entertainment extravaganzas.
But, at least, no one can accuse Barack Obama for being lazy. During the past week, he has met with foreign leaders trying to bolster certain parts of the world economy. Meanwhile, his Vice President is focused on fundraising.
