Senior advisers to Obama, previewing parts of his speech, said Wednesday the United States would offer debt relief totaling roughly $1 billion "over a few years" to Egypt through a debt swap mechanism that would invest the money to boost youth employment and support entrepreneurs.
Washington would also loan or guarantee loans up to a total of $1 billion through the Overseas Private Investment Corp (OPIC) for Egypt to finance infrastructure development and boost jobs, the officials told reporters on a conference call.
Several billion dollars in additional financing would come from multilateral development banks as well.
Obama Should Condemn Anti-Christian Violence in Egypthttp://frontpagemag.com/2011/05/13/obama-should-condemn-anti-christian-violence-in-egypt/
In the aftermath of a Christmas season filled with anti-Christian violence in Nigeria, Iraq, and Egypt, Christian leaders around the world have called for prayers for those undergoing persecution, and have also called upon the governments that have thus far proven impotent to stop such attacks to step up to their responsibility to protect their citizens. Though Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak tried to claim in the aftermath of the detonation of a car bomb outside a church in Alexandria that “all Egypt is the target” of such jihadist terrorism, such claims ring hollow with the Coptic Church, which has suffered widespread persecution, especially when there are claims that Egyptian security forces (which are supposed to prevent such violence) withdrew from protecting the church shortly before the bomb was detonated.
The bombing in Alexandria was not the end of jihadist terrorism; now an Egyptian police officer has gone on an anti-Christian shooting spree.

I think he is seeing that egypt is not coming out as many liberals expected and is sweeting the pot so to speak. I really doubt it will work as Idealogy and the power it provides those groups is too strong.

We have no money
But this is the Rich Liberals solution throw others people money at the problem and it will go away!
Screw the fact that they are killing Christians. Now if they were killing any other religion there would be a problem.
And what did I hear about us giving Jordon $800 Million to help unemployment plus a bunch of Wheat? Anybody hear about this?
Why? Did the W.H. forget that the U.S. has 1 in 6 people on food stamps? Unemployment skyhigh? Flooding? Tornadoes? Unprotected Borders? And we've just punched through the debt ceiling?
I don't think we'd see these kind of choices with Ron Paul as President!
