I find nothing funny about it.   If the situation Gregg Stemm describes is real, and especially if it is widespread, then it is not funny.    And if Mr. Stemm's perception of the situation is incorrect, then it is equally not funny since a substantial number of his fellow Americans hold the same misperception in their own fields of endeavor.   Either way, it is not good for the American people and hence it is NOT funny.

Well now, I'm on the outside lookin in. Now i would of thought that the government would have supported these people in their time
of need with the same passion the UNITED STATES of AMERICA ( people ) Have done so when ever the Government as asked for support since the birth of the USA, and i feel that is your right by birth

I agree. If they're going to take any side at all, make sure it's the American side of the issue.

Note: For the confused out there, I am an American living in Australia and would expect no less than 100% support from my government on this type of issue.

It's all about that moment when metal that hasn't seen the light of day for generations frees itself from the soil and presents itself to me.

It is funny to me. That's why I posted what I did.

In my opinion, the coins involved were skirted away like thieves in the night. Odyssey has already lost their case, and are going through the steps of appeals. The Courts side with my opinion of this debacle. For now.

WikiLeak media blitz...whimsical letter to the Prez....when will it stop?  No clue, but I intend to enjoy the entertainment while I can    Great Great

    Well, you're entitle to your opinion, and I'm sure you know what they say about opinions......keep it civil, though.
    Besides, I believe that Mr. Stemm's open letter to President Obama was in response to remarks that the President made recently at a meeting of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.  Irrespective of the government's questionable involvement in litigation between Odyssey and Spain, Mr Stemm has as much right as any other American businessman to respond to what the President said and implied during that speech.
     That being said, I would appreciate it if all parties involved confined their comments to article refernced including the litigation and what part, if any, the government of the United States of America should have in the case.

In that report they did'nt say which port they were forced into by spanish ships and who's got the treasure now, way back did the spanish steal it from Portugal ,or from the Aztecs, who knows, theft is'nt ownership .I feel sorry for those guys after all that work
and it all could be gone.  I wish MR STEMM alot of luck

john, you're within the scope of reasonable debate for the topic as outlined in the original article, pushing the envelope--maybe, but still with in the proper bounds.  Smiley

BA... You are correct, it was in response to President Obama's speech to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.
