AP ^ | 3/1/09 | AP

[Gabrial]

Obama administration officials had indicated last week that the U.S. was preparing to pledge $900 million in assistance for Gaza

Looks pretty good for a first post Gabrial....

[TheThinker]

I know, let’s give Hamas a billion dollars! That’s brilliant! /s

[Peter Libra]

Memo to those who were elected on the promise of more for the poor - an old saying.

Charity begins at home

[NonValueAdded]

Ah yes, insulate the populace from consequences ... that has worked out sooooooo well in the past.

“Wood said that while all of the money is subject to approval by Congress,”
Aren’t we getting the cart before the horse here?

[luvie]

Replaced? She’s just doing what the Obamafeurer (sp) wants. He’ll probably give her a big raise and an medal!

[luvie]

And who is in charge of Congress now? Hmmmmmm?

They haven’t turned this blithering idiot down for anything yet!

[1066AD]

So that’s a couple of million each for the top drawer and, say, $700 million for the Russians & Chinese armament industries.

[Moose Burger]

It will be fun to see how much of it is invested in greenhouses.

[avacado]

Where did Hillary Clinton get $900 million dollars?

[AmericanSphinx71]

[Does so]

This woman is a complete joke. I give her 6 more months before she's replaced.

Won't matter: there are hundreds-more Liberals in line for that "job".

Hey beeotch!

Why stop with 900 million? You couldn’t just promise a cool ONE BILLION DOLLARS?!?!?

Ya cheapskate!

If ya weren’t a Jew-lovin’ grifter, you would have coughed up the extra 100 mill!

Geez!

Now lookee here patriot08, this is the 26th time you have posted this extensive copy-and-paste solicitation in 9 days (since 22 February) and I've got to ask "isn't this getting to be a little excessive?"

You've been here approximately a year and that means you're no newbie troll, but these spam postings (and they are spam, just to get that straight right away) seem to be equally vehement against both Comrade 0bama AND soliciting Freepers to be sure and "CHECK OUT YOUR GREAT T SHIRTS" and to be sure and visit "STEVE'S WHOLESALE OUTLET" and let's not forget the repeated solicitions for donations, i.e. "PLEASE CLICK ON THE DONATE BUTTON ON OUR WEBSITE"

If there is going to be any solicitation for funds, it ought to be for the benefit of Free Republic, because THIS is the online venue which makes YOUR spam postings possible.

Now having said all that, understand that I am not at all opposed to your objectives, far from it. But I find it highly offensive that you are taking up massive chunks of bandwidth from JimRob and FR with these continuous spam-posts. You want to get your message out there? How about just post a link to your OWN web page where you can broadcast your message?

If you were visiting JimRob in his home, I don't think you would grab his computer and/or his telephone and start calling up everyone to beg for money for your cause, now would you?

You're in Jim's house here, show some damn respect.

From the article:

“Clinton also will visit Israel and meet with Palestinian leaders in the West Bank, including Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas.

Donors at the Sharm el-Sheik conference will be asked to fund a $2.8 billion reconstruction plan put together by Abbas’ prime minister, Salam Fayyad, an internationally respected economist. Hamas, which controls Gaza and does not recognize Israel’s right to exist, was not invited.

Fayyad wants most of the money funneled through his West Bank-based government. He already administers huge sums of foreign aid — $7.7 billion for 2008-2010 — and has been sending $120 million to Gaza each month for welfare and salaries of Abbas’ former civil servants.”

These people can’t even exist without handouts, and now we’re giving them more. I’m sure now they’ll become cozy partners with Israel and the U.S.

I think Hillary gets a little something on the side.

Like Jimmy Carter, donations to the Library from Arabs.

Maybe a Million dollar speech for her husband.

Its worth it... we spend billions, she gets a few million.

Jews continue to blindly support Democrats, when all the evidence shows that Democrats are allies of the terrorists and opponents of capitalist America.

[PA-RIVER]

With all this focus on Hammas, were forgetting about AlQaida.

They need support too. Can we send them a billion?
