Obama hasn't even become president yet, and he's already looking to pick our pockets big time. Talk about the audacity of hope...

[Army Air Corps]

Preemptive theft...that is change!

happy America?

[bill1952]

This has zero chance of passing in 08.

[Jo Nuvark]

You can thank Rick Warren and “The Purpose Driven Scam” for this brilliant idea.

We doomed!!!

[Rodm]

oh Boy! Global welfare checks to countries that poke us in the eye with a stick.

Obamacide!

The bill, which is item number four on the committee's business meeting agenda, passed the House by a voice vote last year because most members didn't realize what was in it.

Therein lies the problem with Congress. Most of them are concerned with power and elections anc not representing U.S. citizens.

[HonestConservative]

What is wrong with these people?

[HonestConservative]

I suspect the President will veto.

If not, the revolution starts the same next day

[A message]

The legislation would commit the U.S. to spending 0.7 percent of gross national product on foreign aid, which amounts to a phenomenal 13-year total of $845 billion over and above what the U.S. already spends.

Liberals will have the presses printing money like there is no tomorrow. Let the liberals tack on government run health care and they'll spend, spend, spend.

Cause liberals care about the chilrun and downtrodden.

Just what until the radical socialist gets into office thanks the idiots who can ever ever vote for McCain .
This will be the first of many radical laws such as massive wealth redistribution, black reparations, dismantle the military, free pot and cocaine.

Type in the words:
Anyone but America first!
into Google Images and see what you get as the first picture.

^^ And interestingly enough, you have to have SafeSearch turned off in order to see it.

Man, I am really dreading the next 4 to 8 years.

[Zhang Fei]

I think it’s random. If you put quotes around the phrase, you don’t get Obama’s picture as the first item.

[RepublitarianRoger2]

It’s not random. You need to put it in with no quotes.
If you put it in with quotes, then it searches for that exact phrase, and you get different results. Not random, just different search criteria.

Boy , 9- billion a year? That will seriously line the pockets of corrupt African politicians and petty dictators ( like Odinga)on the take, and also provide the DNC Jefferson/Africa like kick back payments to DNC coffers!

Somehow I am not impressed by Mandingo Obamas latest foible.

[HonestConservative]

They can’t wait, can they.

[Zhang Fei]

Man, I am really dreading the next 4 to 8 years.

Clinton was more or less a centrist - or as centrist as you can be among Democrats. Obama is hard left - practically a communist. An Obama administration combined with Democratic majorities in Congress will cost me $10,000 over four years, minimum. I have my doubts about McCain and Huckabee, but the tax hike plans being mulled by the Democrats leave me no choice - it's vote for the GOP nominee in the general election or cave in to armed robbery under a Democratic administration. The Democrats are now the party of the hard left.

Will somebody please tell me what article, section and clause of the federal Constitution authorizes federal lawmakers to spend money on foreign aid in the first place?

On second thought, never mind. This is just another example of constitutionally clueless Obama spending our tax dollars using non-existent federal government powers. (fact-based corrections welcome)

This post (<-click) shows how misguided, spending-happy politicians like Obama are foolishly following in the footsteps of FDR's dirty politics. The problem with FDR is that he scandalously ignored the Founder's requirement for constitutionally enumerated federal powers in order to start his New Deal programs, particularly those powers which reasonably justify federal spending.

The people need to wise up to politicians like Obama who are ignoring their oaths to defend the Constitution, sending them home as opposed to trying to put people like him in the Oval Office.

100% chance if he’s elected in 2009.
