The Obama administration notified Congress on Friday that it intends to give Egypt’s new government an emergency cash infusion of $450 million, but the move immediately encountered resistance from lawmakers wary of foreign aid in general and of Egypt’s new course under the leadership of the Muslim Brotherhood.

The only thing we should ever give Egypt is the business end of an ICBM.

So, what will congress actually DO to block this aid to our national enemies, at a time when our country is drowning in debt?

Nothing, I’ll bet, but shake a finger or two for the cameras.

What, Boner block spending? Don’t make me laugh.

cash money should NEVER, EVER be given to foreign countries... only finished goods made in America should be given as aid if it's given at all

“to give Egypt...$450 million to the Muslim Brotherhood.”

Buckwheat is the Muslim Brotherhood, and, IMO, he set up the Libyan ambassador and ordered the attack in order to blame a stupid YouTube video in order to attack our First Amendment freedom.

The circumstantial evidence, for me, is overwhelming.

The SOB almost got away with doing it.

Next you’ll be saying that he and his goons arranged to have weapons provided to Mexican cartels as a pretext to attack the 2nd amendment ... wait a second.

He’s not one of us.

Cairo gets jack-shit. You hate us yet ask for money. I call that relationship spent without any thought to your well being. Pick yourselves up by your own boot straps. Print your own damn money, ask the Chinese to back it.

Obviously a lot of good for the Muslim Brotherhood. Probably helped them produce the Innocence of Muslims to use as. Pretext to attack the embassies.

No—No—a thousand times no.

The Muslim in the White House wants to help his Brother Muslims, If Boehner and the congress do not stop him they are insane.
