— and then there is Obama’s $108 billion IMF bailout scheme http://michellemalkin.com/2009/05/13/obamas-100-billion-imf-bailout-scheme/
in addition to the Supplemental.

According to the Associated Press, the Obama administration will give away nearly $6 million of American tax dollars to restore 63 historic and cultural sites, including Islamic mosques and minarets, in 55 nations. See the State Department document here.

The House needs to DE-fund whatever account Obama is using to give away US taxpayers’ money to other countries at a time when our country is nearing Depression status.

Every such “giveaway” to a foreign country should be approved by a vote in the House, as that body of Congress is supposed to control allocation of funds.

I’ll ask again ... does an aid package like this have to clear the House of Representatives, or is this something in Obama’s “slush fund?”
