a million for education sounds like a good idea, IMO.
I can think of a few deserving youngsters right in my neighborhood

Unfortunately, we've been propping up Palestine's oppressor for decades. Giving a few Palestinians a shot at a future is the least we can do after providing the munitions with which they're killed.Then send you money to Palestine. I'd rather my money be spent on American kids

Anything that actually ends the Palestinian-Israel conflict (and giving the palis decent education on emptying their refugee camps as very important for that) may be a worthwhile monetary investment, given how much the USA currently invests in Israels military.
Too bad that money isn't being spent on American kids.
So now we are the police and the educators of the world.
Wasn't it Obama who said the country with the best educated population will have the greatest success in the world?
too bad he wants to educate our competitors as well.
Obama-Clinton want to give millions to poor Palestinian kids, but the Democrats, at the bidding of their union masters, are taking millions away from poor American kids in DC.
Spending plan kills funding for Washington school vouchers - Los Angeles TimesReporting from Washington -- Congress is poised to do away with one of former President George W. Bush's signature initiatives in education: the taxpayer-funded vouchers that enable students from low-income families in the District of Columbia to attend private schools.
About 1,700 children in kindergarten through 12th grade receive the $7,500 annual scholarships. Four times as many apply.
But a provision in the $410-billion spending bill that passed the Senate on Tuesday says that no funds will be appropriated for the program after the 2009-10 school year unless Congress reauthorizes it and the District of Columbia Council approves it. With the Senate's action, the funding bill goes to President Obama for his signature.
If the voucher program is allowed to expire, the students would probably be back in the public system within two years.
bunch of garbage....
i do so love terrorist supporters. do they have a homing device to this site?
The least we can do is get the hell out of the middle east and let them sink or swim on their own.
or here's an idea, let's worry about American kids first and foremost and if there's anything left over we can dole out the scraps.
An Iraqi doctor's complicity in a "bomb plot" is supposed to show that the entire Islamic religion is hateful?
change you can't believe..............

Pointing to bad behavior by others as an excuse for current bad behavior is infantile and counter productive.Notice how the current administration continues to act like we have a bottomless money pit to draw on.
You say that as if the current administration is the first to do this...
Ramallah, West Bank Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton has announced a new million-dollar scholarship program to help Palestinian students enroll at Palestinian and American universities.
Mrs. Clinton announced the Middle East Partnership Initiative during a visit to this Palestinian town last week. The four-year program will support about 10 scholarships each year for disadvantaged students to attend four-year courses at Palestinian universities. The program will also offer 25 opportunity grants to enable promising but disadvantaged young Palestinians to apply to American-accredited institutions in the United States or the Middle East, a State Department official told The Chronicle.
Once funds are approved by Congress, Mrs. Clinton hopes to begin the program in the 2010-11 academic year. The money is in addition to $900-million in aid to the Palestinian Authority announced by the secretary last week at the donors conference, in Sharm el Sheikh, Egypt.

No more so than blaming an administration for continuing a legacy of deficit spending that's been around for nearly 100 years.
Incorrect.
Previous admins did not run on 'change' and empty platitudes, THIS ONE did.
Making excuses is not 'change we can believe in' it's politcis as usual.
