Obama proposes $800 million in aid for "Arab Spring"

[CausingPAIN]

Hilarious. Bush spent trillions and rebuilt Iraq for "free" and Republicans are complaining about Obama keeping the Middle East from slipping into chaos after they completely fucked it up. I'm talking "hilarious".

Dead on.

Does Iraq get better porn than I do? If so why?

The proposed sum is about 1 tenth of 1 percent of the total cost to date of the iraq invasion and occupation.

As well as $1.3 billion to the Egyptian military. Why exactly are we still handing money out to other nations when we can't even pay our own bills?

(Reuters) - The White House announced plans on Monday to help "Arab Spring" countries swept by revolutions with more than $800 million in economic aid, while maintaining U.S. military aid to Egypt.

In his annual budget message to Congress, President Barack Obama asked that military aid to Egypt be kept at the level of recent years -- $1.3 billion -- despite a crisis triggered by an Egyptian probe targeting American democracy activists.

The proposals are part of Obama's budget request for fiscal year 2013, which begins October 1. His requests need the approval of Congress, where some lawmakers want to cut overseas spending to address U.S. budget shortfalls and are particularly angry at Egypt.

Obama proposed $51.6 billion in funding for the U.S. State Department and foreign aid overall, when $8.2 billion in assistance to war zones is included. The "core budget" for the category would increase by 1.6 percent, officials said.

Cause obama is a communist and a terrorist sympethizer.

I had to thank this post, because it was so awesome.

Yes...except for misspelling "sympathizer", it was 100% correct!

...and the misspelling is forgivable.

Neither should have spent a dime on either, it was wrong under Bush and it is wrong now. We have other uses for the money, like buying down the debt. Would you agree?

No had President Bush limited his spending to 1 tenth of 1 percent of what he actually spend in the invasion and occupation of Iraq we'd be in a lot better shape. Well 800 billion dollars + interest, less anyway.

A billion here, a billion there...

No amount of money, from Repubs or Dems, can prevent or keep the Middle East from being completely fucked up. Their own batshit crazy religion already takes care of that.

They are a bunch of immoral barbarians that worship the moon god of a pychopathic pedophile.

Bush was an idiot for ever believing these people could or would embrace our idea of democracy.

And Obama is a complete fucking idiot for continuing this failed policy.

Why are we handing money over to nations that have openly declared their intentions to destroy this country?

Its called national suicide

 

[Provocateur]

Huh? why?

Because he's a nincompoop.

That and his budget proposal isn't serious...He's setting up the "do-nothing congress" strawman to run against.

Democrats don't need no stinkin' budget.



(At least not in the last 1000+ days.)

 

[paulitician]

Why not? It's not his money.

 

[Provocateur]

The question really becomes, is Obama just over his head or intentionally supporting Islam?


Payback for campaign contributions in 08 perhaps?

 

[Provocateur]

Why not? It's not his money.

You haven't heard? The liberals have declared that it's ALL the governments money, and the government should deem what percentage you may keep.

Abbas spokesman Nabil Abu Rudeina quoted Obama as saying, "This is my first phone call to a foreign leader and I'm making it only hours after I took office."

The spokesman said Obama vowed "to work with him (Abbas) as partners to establish a durable peace in the region" and that he (Obama) "would deploy every possible effort to achieve peace as quickly as possible."

Day 1.

Day 12. Get Nominated To Receive Peace Prize


Day 1000- Near 6 Trillion in taxpayer debt.

As interesting a fact that is, is there a point in there somewhere?

Obama fucked Iraq up.

Explain how cash is going to keep the Middle East from slipping into chaos?

BTW, the Arab Spring is history. This cash is supposed to help them recover. Fact is it is a bribe to the new governments in those countries.

because we're stupid. and have been so since the 1970s.

Oh these right wingers are hilarious. For years they told us about all the freedom Bush brought to the middle east and how the people are now "free" and why it was worth the cost.

Now, they are calling Bush an "idiot". They say Obama is just as bad for staying there.

Well, I have news for them. Bush signed treaties and agreements. When a new president comes in, he can't just "magically" undo everything the previous president did. So Bush and the Republicans left Obama with a huge, steaming pile of shit. Only now, they insist it's his "shit". It's like a game of "tag" to them.

TAG! You're it!
