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.

republicans have had control of the purse strings for almost 3 years...

they haven’t slowed spending one bit.

Is this payback for them keeping quiet on his birth records?

Quite possibly!

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?

I have been asking this question and similar ones for years, but whom to ask and get an authoritative and useful answer?

Why did Hillary have a checkbook on American Taxpayers' account without their permission? Who is even authorized to approve that?
Now it's JenJis Kahn playing the same game, as well as Hussein himself?

Have all other presidents played footloose with the American treasure, robbing the hardworking taxpayer without any hesitation?

Who was the first?
How many individuals have that authority?
What Article of the Constitution permits it?
What specific statute enshrined this international permanent pork?

Here, this stupid American always believed that only the House of Representatives had the power to disburse revenue.

No other legally constituted elected body has that power.

And if that power can be delegated Constitutionally I would love to see the enabling legislation, and the Supreme Court decision that resulted. Hard to believe such a monumental abuse of "governing" would go unchallenged.

Obama drops hundreds of millions on (Kenyan) farmers

Article, then # 12 , # 13 , # 21. # 23.

Thanks thecodont. Next, he'll be dropping hundreds of millions in Bolivia while explaining the plane incident was all a big misunderstanding. Then, once again, the world will be eating Cotton Candy and dancing with Unicorns among the Tulips.

Not in my mirror. Maybe yours but not mine.

You don't understand. If you pay income taxes and many other federal taxes, you really don't have a say in the matter. Where does your 'approval' or 'rejection' happen?
I'd like to sign up for that!

He’ll get hundreds of thousands of dollars per speaking engagement just like Clinton is now worth up to $80 million.

As long as it's not the American Taxpayer footing those bills I don't care how much they pay him in the U.S. The liberals can afford it, spreading the wealth and all.

On foreign soil, on the other hand, muslim and African governments will launder American foreign aid money to hear him tear down our country.That sucks!

“We are so swived!!”
