President Obama has nevertheless decided to borrow more money from unfriendly powers like China so he can give it to an outfit that views the United States as an enemy to be destroyed.

I will tell you a little secret.

Remember the 'cash for clunkers' program?

Do you know where all the 'scrapped' metal went?

Apparently, China didn't want MONEY, they needed STEEL. So...

Interesting..he demanded the cars be scrapped and not resold. It helped create a shortage of lower cost used cars, drove up the price.

The Boland amendment barred funds to Nicaraguan rebels and when Reagan tried to LEGALLy circumvent it, the liberals went ballistic. Specially prosecutor assigned... Hussein ILLEGALLY funds pali-thugs and the press yawns!

The press (MSM) doesn't care about truth - right/wrong - or being consistent. The MSM cares about 'their team' winning. They're biased, one-sided, and bigoted - yet they wonder why citizens are dropping subscriptions, turning off the news - and in general not trusting them... Amazing.

He has made it quite clear he will circumvent Congress and the courts. He dares anyone to stop him and they won’t. It’s up to us to stop him with our votes in November.

“We’ve had an Imperial Presidency for nearly a century.”

179 years at least. Since President Jackson.

Wow, is there ANYTHING this Presidency cannot do?

Power of the purse - now the power of the President.

Power to write legislation - now the power of the President.

Legislative review - no longer the power of the Supreme Court - it would be “unprecedented” for those “unelected” individuals to over-rule something passed with a “strong majority”.

WOW! Who needs the other two branches of government?

THE AVERAGE AMERICAN HASN’T A CLUE AS TO THE BILLIONS OF AMERICAN TAX PAYER DOLLARS THAT HUSSEIN HAS THROWN DOWN MUZZIE SH*T HOLES WHILE THREATENING TO WITHHOLD SENIOR’S SOCIAL SECURITY AND GUTTING THE MILITARY:

Obamas 2009 Supplemental Appropriations for Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Pandemic Flu was revised and passed by the full committee.

It give BILLIONS of U.S. taxpayer dollars to countries and entities that support Sharia law and/or harbor, hide and support those who want to destroy the U.S. and our allies. http://creepingsharia.wordpress.com/2009/05/1

Read the summary from David Obeys office that was quietly released last week with nary a word from any media.

$3.6 billion, matching the request, to expand and improve capabilities of the Afghan security forces

$400 million, as requested, to build the counterinsurgency capabilities of the Pakistani security forces

Afghanistan:$1.52 billion, $86 million above the request

West Bank and Gaza: $665 million in bilateral economic, humanitarian, and security assistance for the West Bank and Gaza

Jordan:$250 million, $250 million above the request, including $100 million for economic and $150 million for security assistance

Egypt: $360 million, $310 million above the request, including $50 million for economic assistance, $50 million for border security, and $260 million for security assistance

Pakistan: $1.9 billion, $591 million above the request

Iraq: $968 million, $336 million above the request

Oversight: $20 million, $13 million above the request, to expand oversight capacity of the State Department, USAID, and the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan to review programs in Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iraq

Lebanon: $74 million

International Food Assistance: $500 million, $200 million above the request, for PL 480 international food assistance to alleviate suffering during the global economic crisis

Refugee Assistance: $343 million, $50 million above the request, including humanitarian assistance for Gaza. Funding for the UN Relief and Works Agency programs in the West Bank and Gaza is limited to $119 million (Note: Gaza = Hamas)

Disaster Assistance: $200 million to avert famines and provide life-saving assistance during natural disasters and for internally displaced people around the world, including Somalia, Zimbabwe, Ethiopia, the Middle East and South Asia

Peacekeeping: $837 million for United Nations peacekeeping operations, including an expanded mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and a new mission in Chad and the Central African Republic

Department of Justice: $17 million, matching the request, for counter-terrorism activities and to provide training and assistance for the Iraqi criminal justice system

Obama gives your tax dollars to rebuild Muslim mosques around the world http://canadafreepress.com/index.php/article/... #

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. http://exchanges.state.gov/media/pdfs/office-...

And THAT’S just the tip of the iceberg. THIS will blow your mind!!

http://gbk.eads.usaidallnet.gov/ They should have 2010 up, but they don’t. That’s where you’ll find Obama’s largesse towards Muslim countries really go off the charts.
