Title is misleading, IMO...

Obama is GIVING (without Congressional approval???) Ukraine $8 Billion dollars of our money to secure THEIR border, and yet REFUSES to secure our own!!

It's curious that this "announcement" comes on the same day that Twitter is alive with reports of Ukrainian Soldiers not getting paid today, as well as the stated date that Ukraine would be officially out of money.

Even more curious is how CNN and the Evening News shows have not even mentioned it.

How many miles of Mexican Border fence could be built for EIGHT BILLION DOLLARS?????? Wasn't The God-King Obama just whining THIS AFTERNOON about having no money for Border Protection?

Obama is so far out of bounds, I can’t believe he’s still in office. But, I can, because the country is so full of low information voters who can’t believe what a self-absorbed dictator he is, and who can’t tell what’s good or bad for themselves without a cheat sheet.

$8 BILLION, but yet the feds won’t spring a nickel, let alone actually enforce the laws on the books, and throw our southern border wide open!

Forget about CWII, that war is already lost. Time for the states to declare war on washington AND mexico! And I do mean a HOT war!

$8 billion for Unkranain border security, meanwhile Border Patrol is having to account for EVERY ONE OF THE BULLETS.

“Thank you, Muslims, for building the very fabric of the USA” —> meanwhile NO VISAS for Israelis.

THIS IS AN INSULT.

$8 billion to help bolster Ukraine's State Border Guard Service

Wait must a minute. I thought we were broke and couldn't afford to keep up our border guards or give them ammo. But, hey, it's for his muzzy bros so he can write out a check for with his super duper magical pen without following that pesky old Constitution and asking pretty please from Congress.

After what Obama said in his presser today, this REALLY should be in Breaking News, IMHO.

Title is outright wrong, not just 'misleading'.

It's 8 million, not 8 billion. UPI's own website links to the White House press release if you click on the 'White House' hyperlink in their story.

Probably a typo on UPI's part.

ROTFLOL

The guy knows how to rub the American people's face in crap, no doubt about it.

I can't think of too many things that would be a bigger middle finger salute to the majority of American population, can you?

The U.S. will be providing Ukraine with an additional $8 billion to bolster its border guard capabilities, the White House announced Friday.

Meanwhile obama plays with reggie and reggie plays with obama and plugs biden skinny dips in the pool looking for female secret service agents.

We need some very wealthy people, like the Koch brothers, to buy billboards all over the country and commercials on brainless TV shows so maybe some of the LIVs will see what their idol is doing to them.

Then again, they’re all in on it.

Vice President Joe Biden announced Friday that the U.S. will provide approximately $8 billion to help bolster Ukraine's State Border Guard Service. Biden shared the news with Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko during a phone call on Friday.

Anyone else besides me ever wonder where this stash comes from that Obama and his gang keep handing out worldwide?
Like Halloween candy, except this supply never seems to run out.

Off topic but CNN just spent 57 mins. of the hour on Gaza before spending 2 mins. on Ukraine.

<>$8 Billion<>

The press release says it $8 Million NOT $8 Billion

http://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2014/08/01/readout-vice-presidents-call-ukrainian-president-petro-poroshenko

But as always we can always count on you to post a fallacious information.

With eight Billion, contractors could install 5 layers of fence down the Texas Rio Grande.

But not our border, nope. Again Obama is sticking Americans in the eye and
boasting about it.
