Is this out of her own pocket?

And actually, American education is without financial needs. If the currently-provided money were wisely used, it would be far more than sufficient.

The Obama's are salivating to get rich quick like the Clintons did upon exiting the WH. Mrs O has said its time they make a little money making speeches (like the Clintons).

<><> We demand to see the list wire-transfers going in and out of Valerie's office.

<><> We demand to see the fund solicitation letters from the Obama 's two foundations (two that we know of).

<><> Open the books of Obama's billion dollar Chicago library funding (headed by O's sister).

===========================================

Arkansas senator Tom Cotton hammered the president's foreign policy staff Tuesday morning, explaining why he's become "public enemy number one at the White House" over his opposition to the Iran deal. "I guess I became public enemy number one at the White House because I'm telling the truth about the Iran deal.

Cotton spoke out w/ radio host Hugh Hewitt, after Hewitt played a clip of White House press secretary Josh Earnest rejecting Cotton's arguments about the Iran deal.

"And that chump may think that subsidizing Iran's nuclear program with millions of tax dollars is a laughing matter. I don't think it's that funny. And if he or anyone else over there had ever been man enough to put on the uniform and pick up a rifle, and have to lead men in dodging Iranian-made bombs, they might not be laughing, either," the freshman senator added.

I saw that on YouTube. The street of the mutton vendors was memorable. I would have brought a quart of hot sauce.

Some info on this organization:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Millennium_Challenge_Corporation

As American taxpayers, we should never, ever allow a check to be written to any foreign country. If we want to pay Americans to go somewhere to lend a hand (”Peace Corps”), that is one thing. But to hand over our cold, hard cash to another government leads to several bad things (drum roll) - corruption, misappropriation of funds, and a total lack of accountability. If our “elected representatives” cannot be held to a standard of accountability, what can we expect from a foreign government???

Great, thorough research on your part, thanks.

This MCC program originated under Bush 43, I suppose under the guise of a righteous Humanitarian device.

0bama has UPed the ante and, IMO, is banking a bunch of the funds off-shore somewhere.

OMGosh, I live in Kentucky, and wow, do we need some help right here. What a shame. It will probably all go into some dictator’s Swiss bank account, never to be seen again except in the Caribbean islands.....

Well, it’s not like we don’t throw money at education in this country likes its water on a three alarm Fire. Which is of course wasted in its application by the Marxists in charge.

We could fix some bridges with $100 M.
