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.

Tell that flypaper jackanape to jam it sideways. We are NOT going to agree to any financial support for the towel-headed caveman Caliphate gang. He's really pushing his luck. Big time.

Bailiff, whack his pee-pee.

American military aid to Egypt should consist of a small number of nukes delivered to remove the Aswan High Dam.

According to the state run “media”, Barry the Kenyan Guy has a billion bucks. Why doesn’t he use his own money for this kind of crap?

Obama wants US taxpayers to help his Muzzie buddies.......November can't come fast enough!

i have a better idea. Tell them all to pound sand (of which they apparently have copious amounts). I figure the arabs have plenty of money. Let them spend their own, rather than just tuck it all into their swiss bank accounts.

“Not a day goes by that this bunch of morons does something that makes me want to scream and pull my hair out. This is today’s”


And why shouldn’t he continue to do this? Nobody is stopping him. He exceeds his constitutional authority daily and yet in a country which stinks to high heaven with lawyers there is not one beating down the doors of the USSC to dial back this out of control government. I cannot believe they are ALL in bed with these Marxists.

While this sub-human is the latest to exceed his authority many before him have also and WE THE PEOPLE have allowed it. So again I say; “Why shouldn’t he continue to do this?”

Think about it. How many cases have you read about recently where the USSC, or lower courts said we the people have no standing? WTF? If that is not a pitch fork moment or a test of the 2nd Amendment I do not know what will ever be.
