Obama is running for President of the world.

[Man50D]

Congress Critter ping!

[Smokin' Joe]

BTTT.

Not only is there no provision in the Constitution to do this, there really isn't one to do so here at home. Besides that, we have plenty of poor people here (not counting those here illegally and on the government teat).

[Jack Hammer]

Looked through my copy of the United States Constitution to find the place where the president is empowered to impose a tax on American citizens to stroke himself with a case of the warm fuzzies by feeding the entire planet; couldn’t find it.

It’s always easier to go the OPM route, eh Obama?

[river rat]

Obama will be for ANYTHING that weakens America.

Period....

There was something calculated behind his comment the other day of his “the next 8 to 10 years” presidential term. Is he ignorant or does he have other plans?

[Rummyfan]

May as well just throw that money in the fireplace for all the good it will do.

[Heartland Mom]

This sickens me. Our economy is in the toilet, the Dims won't let us drill to ease the burden on our own poor and suffering, and our national security is in jeopardy because there is no Northern or Southern wall - and he panders to the world?

I don't much care what the UN thinks of us because I think they are an evil, hypocritical, unnecessary and dangerous organization. And our citizens have done so much to help the poor and suffering around the globe that if others don't know that by now - shame on them. Really. Since I'm not a Socialist, I believe taking care of the poor (starting right here at home, btw) should be done my private groups and individuals - not the government spending our money in ways that don't benefit us and without our consent.

I hate these “One World” geeks such as Bush 41, Clinton and Obama.

I will never vote for anyone again that approves this bill.

[BuffaloJack]

I DON’T want to raise the standard of living elsewhere in the world. This is America. We need to raise the standard of living HERE. The government needs to take LESS of our money and interfere less with our lives. Those who want to advance themselve should not be held back by the leeches of society and government.
Americans work hard for their money. It shouldn’t be given away by so-called leaders who want to impress the UN.

Obama's $845 billion U.N. plan forwarded to U.S. Senate floor
your in-laws, parents, grandparents, neighbors and everyone else in America –
each will be spending $2,500 or more to reduce poverty around the world.

That will only be enuf at the beginning. Eventually, as the spending approaches $40,000 per year per American,
Americans will be forced by the UN to give up their homes (for the illegal aliens continuing to take over America),
and in return, all native Americans will be sent to concentration camps run by the UN and Obama's "New American Civilian military police"
in their shiny robin-blue hats.

[Non-Sequitur]

Anyone bother to actually read the legislation? It's like any other POS coming out of Congress these days, long on rhetoric and short on specifics. It doesn't look like it commits us to anything more than what President Bush has already done.

[tatsinfla]

and when they bleed us dry and we the little people have no more to give i ask who will come to our rescue? i say not a single nation out there since they all want to see us fall.

[arthurus]

Billions to be allocated to raise the standard of living of a tiny number of kleptocrats and UN officials and probably Algore and, of course Hussein O’Bama.

Sen. Barack Obama, the presumptive Democratic nominee for the office of president

Fixed it.

[veracious]

I believe this is treason. Our congress cares more about foreigners than it does US citizens. Our country is financially failing and Congress continues to spend like there is no tomorrow and send our money (borrowed no less) to governments foreign to our own.

Everyone needs to defend the US Constitution from: enemies foreign _and_ domestic.

[Joan Kerrey]

cost the United States some $845 billion over the coming few years in an effort to raise the standard of living around the globe.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++
Why do that. Let’s just lower the American standard of living instead. After all we’re responsible for all the shortcomings throughout the globe. /s

[dalight]

Taking the War on Poverty world wide because it worked so well here at home.

Is this what Obama meant when he said that funding the Surge and winning in Iraq was a waste of funds that could have been used for better purposes?
