Obama Approves $20 Billion In Assistance for Egypt & Tunisia
Posted by Jim Hoft on Friday, May 27, 2011, 5:34 AM
Evidently, it doesn’t appear to bother Obama that Christians are worried that Egypt is already being hijacked by the Islamists.
The leaders of the G8 pledged $20 billion in assistance for the transitions in Tunisia and Egypt today.
The Financial Times reported:
G8 leaders have pledged $20 billion in assistance for the democratic transformations in Egypt and Tunisia and address development and security needs in sub-Saharan Africa. The pledge came on the final day of their summit in Deauville, France.
G8 leaders said in a final communique that the money is intended to shore up the so-called Arab Spring, following requests by Tunisia and Egypt for massive aid following their popular uprisings this year.
The International Monetary Fund also says it is ready to offer billions of dollars in loans to help spur economic growth and jobs in the region. Britain and France have already pledged additional aid.
The radical Muslim Brotherhood is expected to win the parliamentary elections in Egypt this year.
Just last week Obama announced that he is giving $1 billion to the Egyptian government.

The only enemies that the Obama administration is willing to fight against is the American tax payer.

And, according to Atlas Shrugs, the Nazi Party has just been founded (or rather, revived from the 1920′s) in Cairo.
Not to speak of the Muslim Brotherhood.
Ah, the smell of spring! Encouraged by the United States taxpayers.

Pay for it out of the DNC coffers

One world currency is here: U.S. $. The fraudulent Federal Reserve prints trillions of our own money while charging us interest, gives it to other countries including our enemies and the american tax payers pay the bill. The New World Order is here and it is us. Got Jesus?

Muffin commented:
SOo….Obama wants to shut down Israel and finance terrorists? It’s getting pretty clear what this guy is about.
the Boodge commented:
Why isn’t George Soros funding this, instead of the US taxpayer?
In my world Obama would be IMPEACHED and IMPRISONED for his CRIMES against the AMERICAN PEOPLE!

Christians worry Egypt being hijacked by Islamists
ReutersBy Sami Aboudi | Reuters – Thu, 26 May, 2011
CAIRO (Reuters) – Last January, Nazih Moussa Gerges locked up his downtown Cairo law office and joined hundreds of thousands of fellow Egyptians to demand that President Hosni Mubarak step down.
The 33-year-old Christian lawyer was back on the streets this month to press military rulers who took over after Mubarak stepped down to end a spate of sectarian attacks that have killed at least 28 people and left many afraid.
Those who camped out in Tahrir Square side by side with Muslims to call for national renewal now fear their struggle is being hijacked by ultra-conservative Salafist Islamists with no one to stop them.

Spartan commented:
I’d like to know where the hell the Speaker of the House is to announce, ‘hey mr. moneypockets we ain’t got the money you keep promising people.’ But no we got a group of representatives that are too chicken$&%^ to tell this idiot, NO!!!
He fumbles, literally around Europe making a complete ass of himself. Then trots around like he just scored a three-pointer at the buzzer. Folks, this guy is so totally unprepared for this position, and we HAVE got to do a better job of communicating to those in charge that this is it. Either change your ways now, or by damn WE will change you, AGAIN!!!!
I am sick and tired of being told I can’t have a future in this beautiful country because a bunch of lowlife’s in Washington couldn’t control themselves. And if the new bunch won’t grow a pair and start making their voices heard. I guarantee they will hear MY voice!!!!
We have more power and they know it. This is AMERICA. and I’m fighting back. It’s websites like this and many others that will give us voice if we put our heads together and make our voices ONE!!! We are all gifted in many ways. And we have changed the world with our freedoms. Let’s keep it going and make those in Washington realize that they had better watch out. Because the enemy to their greed is, WE THE PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!

#13: If the federal government had a budget, expenditures by the Executive Branch would be limited to those set forth in the budget. Any departure from the budget would require Congressional approval for a “Reprogramming” of funds authorized and appropriated. Obama is operating under no such constraints, since the Congress abdicated its responsibility to pass an Appropriation Bill. This Congress is complicit in the destruction of this country by allowing Obama to consolidate power. And what Obama is doing is treason. He is aiding and abetting an enemy in a time of war.
jorgen commented:
Obama is a generous man. His friends in the Muslim Brotherhood must be very happy. Can’t Congress stop this madness?

If only, if only we were in a major economic crisis…then we might tighten our belt and not toss out money…

Where in my constitution does it authorize the pResident to give my money to foreign countries?
Muffin commented:
I agree. IMPEACH.
Hedgehog commented:
The Antideficiency Act is one of the major laws through which Congress exercises its constitutional control of the public purse. It evolved over a period of time in response to various abuses.
In its current form, the law prohibits:
Making or authorizing an expenditure from, or creating or authorizing an obligation under, any appropriation or fund in excess of the amount available in the appropriation or fund unless authorized by law. 31 U.S.C. § 1341(a)(1)(A).
Involving the government in any obligation to pay money before funds have been appropriated for that purpose, unless otherwise allowed by law. 31 U.S.C. § 1341(a)(1)(B).
Accepting voluntary services for the United States, or employing personal services not authorized by law, except in cases of emergency involving the safety of human life or the protection of property. 31 U.S.C. § 1342.
Making obligations or expenditures in excess of an apportionment or reapportionment, or in excess of the amount permitted by agency regulations. 31 U.S.C. § 1517(a).
The fiscal principles underlying the Antideficiency Act are really quite simple. Government officials may not make payments or commit the United States to make payments at some future time for goods or services unless there is enough money in the “bank” to cover the cost in full. The “bank,” of course, is the available appropriation.
No budget, no problem. Why do you suppose the Senate defeated Obama’s Budget Request by 97-0? They made the Budget so outrageous that no one would vote for it. No budget, no problem. Just agree on a number and let the Communists who infest the White House and Executive Branch Agencies spend it as they see fit. Perfect. No oversight. When people wake up and try to figure out what happened to the money, it will be too late.

Ain’t Socialism great, until you run out of other peoples money to give away. What a horrible man he is, with all the bad things happening in this country today he turns a blind eye on it and focuses on taking care of our enemies. The sad thing is that those same enemies won’t even say thanks to the “useful idiots” that elected this fool.

Obama going to take care of his Muslim Brothers,instead of helping the victims of tornatoes.republicans need to put a stop to this nonsence and with-hold money giving to foreign countries with our country on verge of colapse.
smarty commented:
Which slush fund is this coming from? Doesn’t the house and senate have to agree to spend this much money?
tommy mc donnell commented:
how can the people in congress go along with this. 20 billion to support radical islam while americans are out of work and busineses are closing all around us. if our government has 20 billion to spend if should be used to help americans. we need and deserve the help more then egypt and tunisia.
billions for the radical muslims. higher taxes for the american workers. change we can believe in.
tommy mc donnell commented:
i wonder if this money will be used to finance the myth’s re-election campaign through all the illegal campaign contributions he will get from the middle east.
Sparky commented:
America has almost reached its debt ceiling and Obama is sending money to terrorists!
More ammo to prove that Obama is a muzzie-lover!
GD America comes to mind.
greenfairie commented:
Why are we giving these people 20 billion? Half the country has been devastated by tornadoes and flooding and Obama cares more about Arabs 10,000 miles away than the people he’s supposed to be serving.

Obama Approves $20 Billion In Assistance for Egypt & Tunisia
————————————————————————————————————–
I am so sick and tired of Obama, (and Hillary) APPROVING funds for these foreign countries! THEY don’t have power of the purse, congress does. Did they get congress to approve first? Where are THEY getting this money and where do THEY get off “approving” and indebt America? I hope the house does not approve this, and if these funds come from the IMF, and Obama and not congress can indebt us without the APPROVAL OF THE AMERICAN TAXPAYER THROUGH CONGRESS, we need to insist to congress THEY follow the constitution. Egypt and Tunisia are NOT OUR PROBLEM.
OUR PRESIDENT NOT FOLLOWING THE CONSTITUTION IS OUR PROBLEM.
