He must be checking the couch cushions is all I can think of.
Obama: US to provide new aid to Jordan | The Associated Press | World | Washington Examiner (http://washingtonexaminer.com/news/world/2011/05/obama-us-provide-new-aid-jordan?category=18 - broken link)
"A White House transcript on Wednesday of Obama's comments after his meeting with Jordan's king quoted the U.S. president as saying the funding would be channeled through the Overseas Private Investment Corp.
Obama said the funds would "leverage ultimately about $1 billion for economic development in Jordan."
More than a little stupid to give away those kinds of sums without some kind of quid pro quo. Is Jordan offering us use of it's territory to base troops in after we leave Iraq or something else under the table or is Obama just pissing away money because he likes them? Seems kind of shady.
Nothing like stealing it from hardworking taxpayers and shipping it overseas.
It is getting ridiculous.
We have hundreds of people living under bridges and in abandoned homes in my home town and he is out sending working Americans money overseas.
Talk about screwing over the working man, this man is a champ isn't he?
Record number of people filed foreclosure this year and you would think he would want to help those people. Afterall he promised to help people in trouble with their homes and of course has lied about that also.

Hell's bells, just look at how the Midwest & South could use those billions to help those who have lost their homes/places of employment to the recent natural disasters be they the thousands who lost their homes to the tornados, flooding, or wildfires.
I can understand, helping a poor counrty like haiti...but to send a billion dollars to a billionaire king of jordan....it just doesnt make sense
