Lets be honest Bush did the same thing.

Still, Obama is different and his motivations are different.

Read this compelling piece:

Dorothy Rabinowitz: The Alien in the White House

“A great part of America now understands that this president’s sense of identification lies elsewhere, and is in profound ways unlike theirs. He is hard put to sound convincingly like the leader of the nation, because he is, at heart and by instinct, the voice mainly of his ideological class.”

“Lets be honest Bush did the same thing.”

It would be interesting to compare the two. If I am not mistaken, President Bush had a whole lot of conditions and restrictions placed on the aid he released to the Palestinians during his terms. I don’t get the impression that Obama has placed any conditions or restrictions on this money. In addition, our economy was in much better shape during Bush’s terms. WE CAN’T AFFORD THIS CRAP ANYMORE!!

” Alien in the Whitehouse”.....great read I saw earlier today....glad to see you linked it here...tells it like it is.

The issue is not that it's being done, it is precisely as you said...obama’s intentions and motivations are in a very different place than all other presidents before him.

True enough. But there was no doubt Bush was a friend of Israel, and you know if they were attacked, he would have responded as a friend.

I get the feeling The Poser is setting Israel up.

That ought to have its own thread.

I believe Bush and past administrations did it funded through an organization that funded Hamas under the guise of political correctness and humanitarian Aid.

Obama is now just handing them a HUGE check outright.

No one will be able to control how the money is spent.

It is like giving money to a 21 year old to go to Vegas.

I am NOT saying the past, so-called humanitarian aid money was not spent on funding terrorism.
