Mr. Boehner and Congressional Republicans, the answer is no. You have the power. Do you have the backbone?

I’d give them $2B—and then make them take back all of their “Palestinians”.

Don’t worry, using Obama’s math, he reduced the deficit by 1.8 Trillion Dollars because he could have given them 2 Trillion but didn’t.

A mere drop in the bucket ... Biden entourage spent well in excess of a half million for one night at a five star hotel in Paris. The previous night in London the tab was well over $400 thou ... but hey we can't do WH tours because of the nasty Republican induced sequester.

Jordan is the most pro-American country in middle-east.
I would give them money long before Egypt which is now run by Muslim Brotherhood leader, Morsi. King Abdallah of Jordan has acted in favor of US.

Thanks SMGFan. The Kenyan Muzzie SOB withheld aid from Mubarek, then after sequester came down, shipped $300 million to Egypt's Islamofascist regime.

How many school children can tour the White House with that money? If Obama is asking the Americans to choose between sick children and poor children, why is he giving this money away to others?

The Jordanian government hates the Palestinian refugees, they refuse to assimilate and the PLO tried to run its own mini-state in the 60s. King Hussein actually started slaughtering them until they agreed to move their headquarters to Lebanon to stop the reprisals for Black September.

Sure Abdullah married a Palestinian, but that doesn’t make him not loathe the unenviable position of having anywhere from 30-60% of the population a powder-keg ready to explode over Israel.

200 million to terrorists who hate us - all while bitching about the sequester at home.

Think about that while you’re job hunting. :)

If I were a liberal Democrat, I’d be wiping my butt with common Americans too.

Jordan was supposed to be Palestine, but instead they dumped their poorest citizens on Israel, much as Cuba and Mexico have dumped their criminals and their poor on us.
