Clinton Announces Million-Dollar Scholarship Program for Palestinian Students

Is she going to pay for it?

Let's hope so. Oh wait, that's what the American taxpayers are for. Real change. Don't complain now. It's going to Hamas, not Iraq. Maybe they could change the name of suicide bomber to freedom bomber.

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.

Reporting 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.

Hey, Obama's leadership could tell Hillary to hold your spending. Look at what he did with that bill with 9,000 earmarks. Oh wait! I bet the money going to Palestinian is going to stimulate the economy. Or it'll bomb.
