Secretary of State John Kerry announced Sunday that the United States would provide $250 million in assistance to Egypt after Egypt’s president promised to move ahead with negotiations with the International Monetary Fund over economic reforms.
In a statement issued after his two-hour meeting with President Mohamed Morsi, Mr. Kerry said the aid decision reflected Egypt’s “extreme needs” and Mr. Morsi’s assurance that Egypt would reach an agreement with the I.M.F. after more than a year of talks over a $4.8 billion loan package.
The statement issued by Mr. Kerry noted that he and Mr. Morsi had discussed the need to ensure the fairness of Egypt’s coming elections, but it did not mention any specific political commitments the Egyptian president had made to receive the funds.
Parliamentary elections are scheduled for April. Some opposition groups have said they will boycott the vote because of what they see as an effort by Mr. Morsi and his Muslim Brotherhood movement to dominate Egyptian politics.
American officials say that Mr. Kerry asserted that moving ahead with difficult economic changes in Egypt would require a degree of political consensus and was implicitly a promise of some political change.

Aren’t we still sending them billions per year to “keep peaceful” with Israel? Or this that die with the overthrow?
F-16s, 250 billion in cash to build their regime.
We are fools.
HUNDREDS of millions.
Lies by omission are lies.
Think about that while you’re job hunting. :P
Now go pay your taxes - the Muslim Brotherhood needs weapons...
how big of him. He’ll negotiate with the IMF and accept the money they’ll loan him, and even accept payment from the United States for doing so. The man is a prince. A prince, I say./s
This should have everyones' head spinning. WTH is this garbage? The US needs to stop ALL aid to these countries. No mas for these backward hicks.
Thanks tobyhill.
> Kerry Announces Millions in U.S. Aid for Egypt
Hussein continues to sequester America.
Did Obama tell you he can be trusted John, or was it Hillary.
her 24/7 Muslim companion probably told the same thing to Ambassador Stevens in the days before Benghazi. What she told the Muslim Brotherhood was another story.
Wow. Someone talked to him, ya know- good folks. What a coup for the US. We are so lucky.

The American people will strongly favor this; there’s practically nothing a liberal thinks up these days that they don’t fall in line behind.
Truly the American people as a whole deserve all this, but it is the innocent individuals who suffrer. The American people can’t figure it out; they are too drunk on liberalism.
The litle American voters saved us from a Kerry presidency but it took the failed GWB to do it. Now we are being punished by the lack of knowledge of all these popular liberals.
Surely they will pay for this by cutting welfare, right? Sorry to say, when the economy is suffering, many people out of work, and the government is supposed to be in a real spending cutback, and they do this as slap in the face to taxpayers, there is no peaceful way out of this.
Tomorrow, Obama will probably announce that he is giving some of our nuclear weapons to Iran, so they can discontinue their own weapons development program...
We just cannot fix STUPID...
Payoff to the Egyptians by the Obastard regime for
denying U.S. access to the captured Benghazi terrorist. Hussein is using our tax dollars to Egypt as hush money.
