You have to take care of your friends.

Friends? We have no (insert nationality here) friends...leave U.S. money in the U.S.

I agree with this!

only 450 million......thought that bastard would spend more to hang Israel out to dry

OMG - could you imagine what the media (i.e., MSNBC, CBS, etc.) would do if x-President Bush sent funds to countries that simply love the crap out of us! You just got to love all the double standards we experience daily.

They were initially going to send Egypt $1 BILLION in aid or as put in the article "The $1 billion in aid, announced by Mr. Obama in May 2011, was initially intended to relieve Egypt’s debts to the United States".

So the people owed are giving those that apparently cannot repay their debts more money as a way to lighten the burden of owing the money to begin with.

Am I missing something here?
Anyone else think this is nuts?
Anyone else think our present administration has no idea on how to handle foreign relations or our taxes?

I am sure the idea is one of two:

1) Give them a billion dollars to invest in their economy and make it stronger so they can begin to repay us what they owe us.
Response: Nonsense! They wasted what they had and put themselves in a hole and will do so with the infusion of our tax dollars. The only difference is doing it this way takes two countries down instead of just one.

2) Help the Muslim Brotherhood that now runs Egypt to get stronger.
Response: Much more believable. He has bowed to Saudi kings while refusing to even wear an American Flag lapel pin calling the flag a symbol of oppression around the world. What are these people oppressed about - other than not having the freedoms and potential our country has because it citizens have worked hard and busted their butts to make a life for themselves and their families. We don't have time to storm other countries embassies - I have to be to work at 7:30 AM!

Once again the throwing away of our hard earned taxes to a foreign group that has shown disdain for our country when this country is on the verge of imploding.

A big THANK YOU to Representative Kay Granger of Texas who has stepped in to try to stop this aid.

Just some thoughts ..

God bless!!
