Smart thinking "Uncle Sam" - why couldn`t you use your real name?

But your argument convinced me that Obama should increase aid to Israel. Why? Israel`s purchasing the F-35`s, would help keeping our military suppliers strong despite Obama`s defense budget cuts. Rather than borrowing from the Chinese for stimulus money, Obama would actually have another country giving billions to help employ Americans especially in a critical industry. I dread the consequences of cutting back the US military. Israel would prove herself a loyal and essential ally yet again. God Bless America!
