More insanity. 78% of American (liberal) Jews helped ensure Israel’s enemies are rearmed.
Even if we weren't cash-strapped, giving $1 billion (or any amount of money, for that matter) to a terrorist org is a criminal act.
Ze-ro is a friggin’ idiot if he goes through with this. Appeasement is not the answer.
Next up, Obama will fight to increase benefits for the families of al-Qaeda suicide bombers.
No s***
What does Obama think the billion dollars will buy?
Does he really think that Hamas is somehow going to be friendly because of it, could he really be that simple?
Carter thought that letting the Ayatollah go back to Iran would somehow benefit US-Islamo relations. He was dead wrong, but at least he didn’t have the precedents that Obama has been blessed with. Obama walks in with no excuse on this one.
responsible spending??
This really pisses mr off!
This really pisses mr off!
Is this being reported anywhere else? Sources? I mean, EC is usually reliable, but I’d like other independent sources to confirm the story. Not even that I doubt it....
The List
President Obama's fifth week in office:
The United States (Obama) plans to pledge more than $900 million to help rebuild Gaza after Israel's offensive against Hamas and strengthen the Palestinian Authority, a U.S. official said on Monday (2/23/2009)
In response to the backlash against the bailout for failing home owners, triggered in part by Rick Santelli on CNN's rant on the floor of the Chicago stock exchange, Housing Secretary Shaun Donovan responded publicly; "the Obama administration's efforts to help struggling homeowners will aid "responsible" borrowers, not deadbeats or speculators."
Obama gives his blessing to Sheik Sharif Ahmed's appointment as President in Somalia. The UIC was viewed as a terrorist organization by the Bush administration, but is viewed as moderate by the new US Obama administration.
President Barack Obama now likes to talk at commissions" and summits” after making fun of Sen. John McCain for proposing a commission to look at the economic crisis facing the country. In the "Fiscal Responsibility Summit" at the White House, the President listens "to the best and the brightest on the subject of the budget as well as the larger issues related to the economy".
Among the eight members named Friday to the Presidential Task Force on the Auto Industry and the 10 senior policy aides who will assist them in their work, two own American models. Add the Treasury Department's special adviser to the task force and the total jumps to three.
Obama’s Homeless Woman Is Actually Real Estate Investor
New information about Henrietta Hughes has come to light. It appears that the desperate homeless woman owns real estate she shifted into the name of her son to avoid taxes and acquire government aid. Henrietta Hughes also apparently sold real estate at a significant profit in 2005.
Barack Hussein Obama will propose a massive business tax on greenhouse gases in his FY 2010 federal budget to be presented this week.
The massive tax increase and power grab was buried at the end on article on Obama's forthcoming budget proposal in The New York Times:
Obama Upholds Detainee Policy In Afghanistan:
The Obama administration told a federal judge military detainees in Afghanistan have no legal right to challenge their imprisonment there, embracing a key argument of former President Bush’s legal team
Obama appoints "The Vacuum Cleaner" to be the new US ambassador in London. Obama has been embroiled in a cronyism row after reports that he intends to make Louis Susman, one of his biggest fundraisers, the new US ambassador in London.
Obama's administration attended four full days of negotiation at the "Durbin II" conference. During that time his people sat and passively watched the following: the failure to adopt a proposal to act against Holocaust denial, a new proposal to single out Israel, which will now be included in the draft without brackets, broad objections to anything having to do with sexual orientation, vigorous refusal by many states to back down on references to "Islamophobia" (the general allegation of a racist Western plot to discriminate against all Muslims), and numerous attacks on free speech.

On the proposed $900,000,000 of taxpayer money for Gaza Aid.
This one is wrong on many levels. Most blatant is letting the U.N. administer the funds, {Do you remember the fraud and waste in the U.N.’s “Food for Oil” program?}
Gifting that much, when our own economy is in “Crisis” {I’m quoting Pres. Obama, there}, is like over-spending on Christmas Gifts and Charities while failing to pay one’s own Mortgage.
Letting the U.N. spend it “for US”, is insanity! Even when the remaining un-stolen gift dollars arrive, in Gaza, The card will read “From the U.N.”!
If these dollars must be spent on Gaza, let Google, the rest of silicon valley & NASA control the money. They should, first, use it to make any and all new and old Gaza Smuggling Tunnels instantly findable on the internet. Once anyone can spot a coming Smuggle Tunnel, the rest can be used for Aid, and clearly labeled as coming from the U.S.A.
I wonder when someone in the military will say this has to stop.
