So if he said no aid to help the straving people in Africa I bet you would blast him as uncaring, right?

This clown simply has no clue. Granted, 105 million is nothing in the grand scheme of things, this is unconstitutional, and shows he has absolutely no clue about the current state of the economy in the U.S.

This action is the same as setting a pile of cash on fire.
I agree, it's not...so why bother posting? If Israel can get billions, I see no problem with this humanitarian effort.

I agree that 105 million IS small compared to the mess we are in, but, we need to stop giving money away. We need that money

All forms of foreign aid are unconstitutional, and need to be eradicated immediately beginning with Israel since they receive the most.

That makes too much sense.

Not at all, I would actually applaud him for adhering to the Constitution, and realizing that a drought in Somalia is not our problem.

I personally think Americans should have a right to say who receives humanitarian aid... it is after all, our money... not Obama's money... I would love for everyone to hand me over $100 now so I can donate to my charity and oh the way, I am not asking and you don't have a choice... that is how government works when it does these foreign aids....

we should send aid, food water and heath supplies. the money we spend on one war alone would go a long way into ending the suffering of millions of people. not to mention help our own hungry and elderly. it is shameful we spend it warring. we should be helping innocent people suffering from mother nature.

He better make sure that the aid goes where it's intended.

Rebels have been hijacking aid intended for the people who need it.

Does the fact this expenditure is unconstitutional mean anything to you?

Innocent? Do these people willingly breed knowing they cannot adequately provide for their children? Yes, they do.

Far from innocent.
