Obama drops hundreds of millions on (Kenyan) farmers
WND ^ | July 3, 2013 | Steve Peacock

U.S. spending now includes farm bill for cold storage projects

Although the House and Senate remain in a stalemate over what to cut or keep in the controversial Farm Bill, the Obama administration is proceeding with its own plan for farmers – in Kenya.

The East Africa Regional Construction initiative overall could cost U.S. taxpayers $210 million.

Pack-house and cold-storage facility construction “appropriate to the Kenyan rural environment” is the first step, according to a Request for Proposals from contractors that WND discovered via routine database research.

Why does the Congress allow this flop of a president the right to write hot checks all over the world? They certainly don’t intend to fund all these Santa Claus programs, do they?

The USA exists to help Muslims feel good about themselves (via NASA) and to help eliminate all bad things from the continent of Africa. No price is too great! We can do it! Yes we can!!

“The East Africa Regional Construction initiative overall could cost U.S. taxpayers $210 million.”

Meanwhile, two weeks ago I was camping along the Blue Ridge Parkway. The grass was knee high up to the edge of the Parkway. The campgrounds had not been mowed and there was trash in the grass. The roads in the campgrounds were filled with potholes. Along the Parkway a number of visitors centers, campgrounds, and other facilities were closed due to the sequester. Most of these facilities in the past were operated by volunteers, not park service employees.

Meanwhile we send billions in military aid to Egypt, promise billions to build power plants in Africa, spend untold billions fighting AIDS in Africa.

He won’t need it. He’ll get hundreds of thousands of dollars per speaking engagement just like Clinton is is now worth up to $80 million.

He pledged $7 billion to "doubling Africa's power". At the same time, he is shutting down at least fifty coal-fired power plants in the USA.

Obviously, Africans don't have enough wall plugs in their mud huts...and it's our fault.

And for our money, we get more WAR, more AIDS, and No electricity.

The answer is in your bathroom mirror.

Let’s see, our mincing Nancy BOY from Nairobi flits about the planet dropping billions of our dollars on his co-cultic goatsuckers while our economy stays in the tank. Crickets from the pink-tie weeper man [Boehner] and his ilk. Obama’s line-bred Muzzie - that would be Morsi, is now angling for a job as doorman at the Mayflower. Certain members of the loyal opposition [Tea Party] are pitching several lucrative offers to the Egyptian Army general who took down Morsi. They want his assistance in taking down another ‘democratically elected’ muzzie thug. And the beat goes on.

Maybe he wants to dismantle the coal fired power plants here and ship them to Africa. Does Africa have coal reserves.

I don’t mean that in a hostile way but I can’t explain why it isn’t my money.
