From WSBTV, their investigation found that the State Department is sending millions of dollars to rebuild mosques overseas:
The Channel 2 Action News investigation found a 1,300-year-old Egyptian mosque that was almost flooded by contaminated sewer water that is one of many ancient Cairo mosques and churches that were saved from destruction by the U.S. taxpayers.
This is part of a $770 million program to rebuild Cairo's sewer system, paid for by the U.S. State Department's USAID program.
"We are spending money we don't have. This is all on a gigantic credit card right now," said Jared Thomas, a taxpayer advocate.
Millions more dollars have been sent to places like Cyprus. The State Department displays before and after pictures of mosques refurbished with U.S. tax dollars.
"I think it is very hard to explain to the American taxpayer right now whose having an extraordinary time paying bills and making ends meet that this is why we took this out of your paycheck, so we can fund this," said Thomas.
The State Department declined a Channel 2 Action News request for an interview. We wanted to ask why are we using tax dollars to refurbish religious buildings overseas. The State Department did send Channel Two Action News an e-mail saying that they are fighting Islamic extremism by building relationships with Islamic leaders.
Egyptian-American human rights activist Nonie Darwish told Channel 2 Action News anchor Justin Farmer that trying to buy respect in the Middle East only shows our weakness.
From everything I know about Islam, having studied it since 9/11, this is absolutely correct.
Here's the video:
(VIDEO AT LINK)
And this is a LOCAL station doing the investigating?
Impeach the Muslim AntiChrist in office. His time is up.
Building mosques in Egypt with Taxpayer funds. Mmmk. Criminal enterprise no doubt. Separation of church and state? Or will this be the Obama church?
I am not going to attend. I am going to be a disgruntled yute and do what they do.
A few local stations & newspapers, the conservative blogs and some of the foreign press are the only ones not 100% in the tank for Mr. Obama.
Could this be TRUE????? OMG!!!! EVERYONE needs to hear this if it’s true!!!!!
Barrys Occidental records just became available.
He's Indonesian.
Care to explain, or share a link?
We are building mosques in countries that hate us? Why...so we feel better when they rape and murder our Americans?
If Islam is so great...let Mohammed pay for the mosques.
Wonder how much is being spent building churches overseas? (crickets)
Occidental College Transcripts Reveals Obama Claimed Foreign Citizenship to get Scholarship
If factually provable. He has at least committed a misdemeanor, and is susceptible to IMPEACHMENT.
Hoax.
Not that that’s not exactly what went down.
Hoax? I did not find the Fox News video a hoax.
Seemed pretty reasonable to me.
The Title of the article might be a bit off, but the effect is exactly what happened.
Dems in power do twist everything. Constant Lies.
I was referring to the OP’s link, not a Fox news story.
The video of the Fox News Story is on the link.
This is part of the hoax story at the OP’s link to which I was referring:
“In a move certain to fuel the debate over Obama’s qualifications for the presidency, the group “Americans for Freedom of Information” has Released copies of President Obama’s college transcripts from Occidental College ...
Released today, the transcript school indicates that Obama, under the name Barry Soetoro, received financial aid as a foreign student from Indonesia as an undergraduate.
The transcript was released by Occidental College in compliance with a court order in a suit brought by the group in the Superior Court of California.
The transcript shows that Obama (Soetoro) applied for financial aid and was awarded a fellowship for foreign students from the Fulbright Foundation Scholarship program.”
Now go get yourself a cup of coffee.

Is there one comprehensive document that has been compiled that shows all these outrageous expenditures of taxpayer’s money? If so, why hasn’t it been touted by every Conservative Congressman, focus group, etc? This should make every citizen’s blood boil!
The only people that have seen his records are currently incarcerated for doing just that.
Welcome to Amerikkka!
Where black presidents have you arrested for looking at their college records!
Right. And the way supposed docs are presented confirming this are a hoax—whether or not the underlying claim is true.
FReegards.
