Obama stopped over human rights....but Obama gave how much to Iran??
He should be dealing with them to take some of these frigging Syrian Refugees as part of the approval.
Huh? There was a huge arms sales to Saudi Arabia in September 2016.
Senate votes to back $1 billion weapons sale to Saudi Arabia

WASHINGTON – The Senate on Wednesday backed the Obama administration’s plan to sell more than $1 billion worth of American-made tanks and other weapons to Saudi Arabia, soundly defeating a bid to derail the deal pushed by lawmakers critical of the kingdom’s role in Yemen’s civil war.

There was a huge cry against this sale at the time and people like Rand Paul (and others) tried to stop it.
Where do they get off saying ‘Obama blocked the sale’? He did not block it. He wanted it and he got it. Is this more FAKE NEWS?
I oppose this move.
A billion dollars is peanuts. One of the first orders of business for Obama in 2010 was $60 billion in arms to the Saudis in a long term deal.
It’s the Arab coalition Obama kept yammering about but could never assemble. The package to Bahrain is missile defense.
Yemen is on the list of the ban that is being discussed...Yemen last week fired a missile into Saudi, and they are willing to help with our fight against ISIS...and also gives a message to Iran...
What could possibly go wrong???
So Saudi Arabia—the country that all of the 9/11 murderers came from, that was not included in Trump’s immigration ban, and that owns the entire 45th floor of Trump World Tower—has been okayed by Trump to buy lots of fabulous weapons from the U.S. What could go wrong?
Wait, what?

His report found that since taking office in January 2009, the Obama administration has offered to sell $115bn in weapons to Saudi Arabia, half of which are accounted for by deals that are still in the pipeline.
“There are $57bn in sales in formal agreements so far, which is also head and shoulders above other administrations,” Hartung said.
Arms sales over the eight years of the Obama administration have also included combat aircraft, attack helicopters, bombs, air-to-ground missiles, warships and military training. A division of Northrop Grumman is involved in a $4bn train-and-equip programme for the Saudi Arabian national guard, which has reportedly played a key role in the Yemen intervention.

So did these deals go through or not? Are there parts of these deals that are left over and Trump is honoring them? The article is unclear as are claims that Obama backed out of some of these deals in December 2016.

Supposedly these arms include nuclear technology (to offset Iran?) and guidance systems and air defense. Being pushed by Cohn, McMaster and Dina.
We really needed.need Mike Flynn. The Left & Obama really put a dagger in our heart when they prompted Trump to fire Flynn so blythly. Trump is now surrounded by traitors, the elite and globalists.
