Citing “national security interests,” President Obama effectively sidestepped Congress by signing an executive order which enables him to send $500 million to fund Muslim terrorists in the West Bank.
The executive order, addressed to Secretary of State John Kerry, was quietly signed Friday afternoon, as the media’s full attention was focused upon a royal birth.
In the order, President Obama writes, “I hereby certify that it is important to the national security interests of the United States to waive the provisions of section 7040(a) of the Act as carried forward by the CR, in order to provide funds appropriated to carry out chapter 4 of part II of the Foreign Assistance Act, as amended, to the Palestinian Authority.”
The move comes on the heels of a 2012 executive order in which Obama waived a congressional ban on funding the Palestinian Authority and sent the Hamas terror led organization $147 million American taxpayer dollars.

So how does he get this money to give his radical buddies? The fed prints brand new crisp bills and it’s just paper? Or must we travel on our knees to the chi-coms and beg for a penance? He warned us he would stand with his brothers should an ill wind blow. How does this happen? Congress are you working both sides of the fence attempting to pull the wool over our eyes? The next election just might pass by without the votes of a good many of WTP even participating given what we’ve seen from BOTH parties. The party attendees are too drunk with power to even care.
He hates this country and loves its enemies.
Too bad we have only 1 branch of government that functions. Congress is nothing but a kiss-a$$ sycophant and the Supreme Court has lost its mind.
Say what you want about Mitt Romney, but at least Romney loves America and has the know-how, experience, and track record to show how to put this country back on track from a fiscal as well as economic standpoint.
President Romney? If we could only be that lucky. But instead, we are stuck with a President who orders the Treasury to give out money in direct contrast to the instructions given by Congress, and does so in direct violation of the debt ceiling placed upon him. President Romney? If Romney were President right now, there would be no doubt in anyone's mind that America would still be here at the end of 2016. But with Obama, there is 100% certainty that the America I grew up in and give my love to will not.
Doesn’t surprise me in the least. He’s been supporting terror since day one and because we now have nothing but a RINO party his ass isn’t impeached. Don’t forget: The very first day he took office on Jan. 20th 2009, the very first thing he did when he stepped into the Oval office was try to close down Gitmo. That was his #1 priority above EVERYTHING else, his #1 priority was to terrorists. And also don’t forget his almost fanatical attempts to have 911 mastermind Khalid Sheik Mohammed tried as a US citizen with full constitutional rights so he has a better chance at freedom. This is what happens though when you have an admitted foreign born muslim as President. He’s no Christian, that’s all a ruse. Christians don’t go to an Islamic school for 2 years.
The long and short of it is that we are screwed—whichever way you look at this once great land................
You clearly do not understand the reality of the Soviet/Crook County election system that was erected the moment Obama won in 2008, and performed as all Machine corruptions do in 2012.
You are naive enough to actually BELIEVE that we had a ‘choice’ and that your vote would count??????? Ohio, Pennsylvania and Florida’s chicanery still doesn’t ring any neurons in your brain as to the reality national politics now operates in????
Romney was CHOSEN by Obama and the Ruling Class Political Judenrats to LOSE. His only role was to create an illusion of choice.
And you bought it.
We’ve gone Soviet - and just as they had “elections” - so now do we mimic the reality of Single Party Rule.
You are stuck in a delusion bub - easy prey for the MarxoFascists.
Where does the $500 million reside that he can release it with executive orders?
Glad to see the House is watching the purse strings. Boner, you asshole.
Fixed it for you.
Hillary will finish the job in 2016.
“Thank you FReepers for sitting on your hands in 2012”
I am so SICK of hearing this crap come out by people who should have woke up by now.
WE HAVE HAD A GOVERNMENT TAKEOVER. This is not a joke nor a tin foil hat moment.
The GOP and the democrats are one and the same. They have sold their souls to money and power and ultimately...Satan.
They have set it up so the masses feel like this is a sporting event and we need to pick a team. They decide which “team” gets to “win” ahead of time. Our voting means nothing. The “winner” has already been chosen. The vast evidence of voter fraud is right in your face.
I BLAME YOU and those like you who are naive about the reality of the situation.
Pray. Everyone please pray. Our Nation and our very lives depend on it.
At least someone actually understands what is actually going on.
The rest... not so much. They’re lost in delusions, that they should believe lies - because they WANT TO.
Because the TRUTH is more than they want to handle. It’s easier to pretend things are still they way they were decades ago, rather than face the fact that MarxoFascist Communists have taken over the country in a velvet coup. Normalcy bias, and - 2 Thessalonians 2:11-12
"Executive order" is not a constitutional term. In fact, given the remote possibility that you haven't seen the following material about executive orders you may find it interesting.
First, the Founding States made the Constitution's Sections 1-3 of Article I to clarify that all federal legislative powers are vested in the elected members of Congress, not the executive or judicial branches. In fact, undoubtedly based on the statutes referenced above, the Supreme Court has already clarified in Youngstown Sheet & Tube Co. v. Sawyer that executive orders do not have the force of law unless supported by legislation by Congress.
Youngstown Sheet & Tube Co. v. Sawyer
So given that executive orders need legislative support by Congress, the idea of Obama using executive orders to bypass Congress, especially since Congress is divided at this time, is pure theater imo, Obama and the corrupt media, including Obama guard dog Fx News, probably trying to make Obama look like a king writing edicts in the eyes of the low-information voters who blindly support him.
Again, I'm inclined to point the finger at Congress as much as Obama with respect to Obama's constitutonally indefensible foreign aid to terrorists as per the title of this thread. That is why I'm encouraging voters to put as many new conservative faces as they can into Congress for the 2014 elections.
Ah yes...voting for the status quo was going to save us!
Actually, this term may likely be the best thing that ever happened to our country. Why? My God why would I even think that?!
Because we will now be able to identify the domestic enemies among us.
They are not patriots. They are Leftists.
Anybody using the word "patriot" has been branded by DHS as a potential terrorist.
Like any Muslim (his father was a Muslim, and he himself was registered in school in Indonesia when a kid as Muslim for religious affiliation) who announces that he is a member of another faith (Obama claims to be a Christian) he is marked by Islam to convert back or die.
Islam has appointed Valerie Jarrett as Obama's guide. She is firmly ensconced in Islam and the Muslim Brotherhood and the White House.
Obama cannot do anything of any importance without Jarrett's approval.
The only thing that can save Obama's miserable life is if he is practicing Al-Taqiyya, the Islamic act of lying to further the cause of Islam.
Oh and as an aside, Huma Abedin Weiner is Hilliary's Valerie Jarrett---another Islamist/Muslim Brotherhood member from Iran. More about both of them above at the Jarrett Islam link.
Oh good grief, some (like YOU) are still blaming every thing wrong with the country on Free Republic members?
If FR had the power you seem to think it has, we would have a Conservative president and a majority of conservatives in both the house and the senate.
Unless of course your complaints overruled the comments of the more politically aware members.
You would think that Congress is holding the purse strings...
Is this a monarchy? There is an executive order for everything ugly or wicked.
He gets away with this because the speaker of the house lets him get away with it
The bone head needs to start defunding everything and making it HURT
Ping for later .......................................................................................... FRegards
