White House Spent $23M of Taxpayer Money to Back Kenyan Constitution That Legalizes Abortion

A Republican lawmaker is accusing the White House of “unconscionable” and “illegal” acts for its role in Kenya's referendum on a new constitution, which would legalize abortion in the country for the first time.

Rep. Chris Smith of New Jersey cited a report by the U.S. Agency for International Development, or USAID, that estimated that more than $23 million in U.S. taxpayer funds have been spent on the referendum. Smith and other conservatives have complained that at least some of that money has been spent in support of the proposed constitution, possibly violating U.S. law.

“Under no circumstances should the U.S. government take sides,” Smith said at a news conference Wednesday. “Yet that is precisely what the Obama administration has done.”

The proposed constitution will curtail the vast powers of the Kenyan president, offering more balance among the different branches of government in an effort to bring order and stability to the political process of a nation often torn by tumultuous exchanges of power.

Vice President Biden told the Kenyan people in a recent speech, "Let me repeat, this is your decision, your decision alone. And the people of Kenya must make this choice -- a choice for Kenya by Kenyans."

What in the world is Biden doing telling the "Kenyan people" anything?

IIRC, this constitution also installs sharia as a parallel legal system for the Muslim population. Some stability.

My guess is that this is nothing but a bribe or payoff to keep the lid on Obambie’s birth records.

I don’t believe the usurper has a birth certificate. No doubt delivered by a midwife in the boonies of Kenya.

“No doubt delivered by a midwife in the boonies of Kenya.”

You know, I never understood why Bambie did not use that
excuse for a Hawaiian birth.
It would have been perfect for him, but a bit too late now.

Because then if he ever had to show a real BC, it would have to show mid-wife’s sworn statement or doctor’s first examination sworn statement,

as required by Hawaiian law.

I believe the application for BC shown on the Internet as:

place: Hawaii, (applied for in), (birth: Kenya) to truly reflect something like what truly went on to get something on file like the COLB ...

But we will possibly never know.

They think he is their new God and anyone who disses him is in for a very rough ride and all the records by now have been sanitized, and he will not ever produce ANY.

Wanna keep him off the ballot in 2012???

Have 3 states demands proof via a genuine original paper BC,

and he’s outta here.

Does everyone know he only won all his early elections by having his dozen scummy lawyers (paid for by whom???) challenge everyone else’s signatures ... while NO ONE challenged his signatures .........

Rather similar to his tactics now.

He is a Chicago ghetto thug with a thuggish staff and all Communists appointments ... a member of the New Socialists Party and proud of it.

Perhaps he wasn’t conceived or ‘born’ like a normal baby and I mean no comparison to the birth of our Savior.

Killing black babies in America isn’t enough for boy zer0. He needs to exterminate them in his home country, too.
