Obama

So America signals in a new wave of optimism with Obama, They are pinning a lot of him or so my friend form the US states. One thing in particular I thought might just interest us over here in Belfast is that she said that one of his big election promises was that he would bring a lot of the investment that was sent overseas back to America.

So where exactly does that leave the US investment conference and all the money that was spent on it last year getting all those US business people over to NI to sell them the green and fertile land?? Will we actually see any results from it?? Is there still going to be any "money from America" or as Senator Mitchell said when he was presiding over the "talks about talks" that proceeded the good Friday agreement "are we ever going to get onto solids" and get off help from outside of this wee place of ours.

It looks ever more like we will have to..............cool.It's about time I say.
