Oh, Yeah--Let's Give Money to the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, says Obama

President Obama is looking at ways to give the Egyptian government--run by the Muslim Brotherhood--up to $1.3 billion dollars in military aid this year.


The State Department just has to get around Congress' requirement that countries receiving military aid can only go to countries that give its citizens basic freedoms.


Secretary of State Clinton is supposed to "waive the requirement" next week.

The administration also plan to give $250 million dollars for "economic and political programs".

This is after the new Egyptian government has called for more belligerent actions against Israel last week, including deporting Israel's ambassador to Egypt, stopping natural gas exports to Israel, active "resistance" to Israel, and more.

Mrs. Pelosi (D-California) urged the administration on, saying that "the strength of Egypt, its stability, is important to the region and the world and we want to be helpful in that regard."
Remember when Obama said he would just bypass Congress?

Well, he has--and is.

Foolishness


Source
 Yesterday, President Obama campaigned on the promise he would issue an executive order to "expedite the southern half" of the Keystone Pipeline.

This is after Obama's all-out effort to quash the pipeline just recently.  Obama lobbied Congress hard to defeat it.

And Even More Ridiculous......

The southern half of the pipeline has already been approved and will begin construction  in June.

There's not a single thing Obama can do to "expedite" the pipeline.

He is simply "mis-speaking".

Sorta like when Obama insists that the pipeline's environmental impact hasn't been adequately vetted by the State Department.

It's simply not true.

The pipeline has undergone a three-year study to make sure it meets all the safety regulations. 

And when Nebraska expressed concerns about the pipeline crossing its Ogallala Aquifer and Sand Hills region, the pipeline was changed.

Despite the fact the the Department of State had already said there was no danger,

AND that multiple pipelines already cross these areas.
