If that is true, then O'Bama has another option: Invade Apple and seize its cash.

I second this guy's comment.

Too bad the federal government goes through that amount of money in about a week.

This. Plus, look at it this way, the US is LOSING money faster than it is gaining money, while Apple is gaining money. In other words, it not so much that Apple is a great business as it is the US Government being bad at managing its money.
