Obama, like his side remarks to the Russians, wants to wait until after the election so he can be more "flexible".

Anti-US sentiment prevalent in Cairo over movie deemed offensive to Islam said to be reason for temporary halt is aid funds

Okay, let me get this strait,

We create a problem by ousting Mubarak $$$, create another problem by supporting the MB to replace him $$$, and NOW we are going to create another problem (stir up a hornets nest) trying to fix the first two problems we created $$$???

Sounds like the work of a DEMOCRAT!!!

As Nobel Peace Prize Winner Obama is so fond of promising us: “FORWARD!”

Did this come from Obama? i don’t see in the article where it says it came from the WH. A “congressional aide” was quoted. And that should be exactly what congress does. Cut them off...and then monitor the WH for taking a billion out of some slush fund and giving it to them anyway.

According to the report, Egypt's "clumsy response" to the storming of the US Embassy in Cairo has resulted in the US temporarily halting talks about a proposed $1 billion in debt relief, top Washington officials told the newspaper.

Egypt's "clumsy" response???

Egypt's?

Oh, I forgot, the dynamic duo, 0bama and Clinton can do no wrong!

Without aid Egypt totally implodes in short order. Tourism has crashed since the glorious Arab Spring and they don’t come remotely close to feeding themselves.

With sky high grain prices they’re gonna be in a world of hurt without massive aid.

Report: US suspends Egypt aid over film riots

Love how the corrupt MSM forwards a lie by continuing to peddle the “they did it because of a film nobody’s seen” lie...

The title is a bit misleading. While the talks may have "stalled" and the aid is "suspended," this admin has every intention of continuing the funding. Just 12 hours ago, Reuters reported this:

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Secretary of State Hillary Clinton will lobby lawmakers this week on the need to keep billions of dollars in aid flowing to Egypt and other countries caught up in a spasm of violent anti-American protests across the Muslim world.

The State Department said Clinton intended to meet with Congress later this week to discuss the protests, which saw U.S. diplomatic missions attacked and the U.S. ambassador to Libya killed amid fury over a film produced in the United States that many saw as an insult to Islam.

Hillary is not doing this without WH approval or urging. The only way the aid stops is if the House does the right thing. Defunding the countries would be a good start, but any subsequent violence would be blamed on Republicans not supporting the so-called fledgling democracies of the region.

These Congressional meetings will be more about both parties obtaining or denying the issue for the presidential campaign.

Did Romney say something about cutting funding to Egypt?
Obama seems to shadow what ever Romney says first.

I don’t believe this fpr a second. NEVER believe what they say. WATCH what they do. What the liberals deny publically, they do privately.

Yeah, all of these sudden changes of heart are going to last until about 1 minute after the last polling place closes on election night.

After that, regardless of who wins, he's going to finally get take off the mask and it's going to Obama unplugged until he leaves office.

If he loses expect to see an angry man do everything he can to punish the country that rejected him and to sabotage things as much as he can to make it as difficult as possible for Romney to take over as President.

“I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.” The quote comes from page 261 of the paperback edition of “The Audacity of Hope.

The winds have indeed shifted, the stench is deafening, yet Barry stands with the origin of the stench that is wafting into the USA. At least this statement is in his own words, but few listened.

Way to go Obama. Good move removing a moderate ally in Mubarak in favor of the America-hating Muslim Brotherhood. Why are we giving money to this terrorist organization in the first place?

Focus on the word “temporary”. This means nothing. Just a way for Odumbo to deflect criticism.

They’re sure sticking to the “film riots” story now aren’t they?

U.S. checkbook is 16 trillion in the red. Where does this billion come from anyway?

Does this mean that Egypt won't get their Super U-Boats from Germany or just that payments will be slightly delayed?

Suspend is different than cancel.

Congress cutting off funds to Egypt? It’s a good start. They need to do same for all other Muslim controlled anti-American nations.
