There is no deflection, Einstein. Who is Obama giving money to? Egypt. Who is the party in control in Egypt? The MB. Whoa, I know that's a difficult logical leap to make for you, but I thought you had more than a 2nd grade education.

The federal government shouldn't be giving our money to any nation.
Besides we are broke and it's morally wrong.

We do not currently aid the Egyptian military.

Obama Bypasses Congress, Gives $1.5 Billion to Muslim Brotherhood

Does he have the legal authority to do this? Isn't Congress supposed to hold the purse strings? How does he keep getting away with this stuff?
Congress authorizes his budget, but once approved he is free to do with as he pleases with some restrictions.

According to administration and congressional officials, representatives of the defense industry, who are eager to keep lucrative contracts attached to the annual aid, have been among those lobbying behind the scenes to resume U.S. funding. The Pentagon, which does not want to risk its ties with the Egyptian military, one of its major allies in the region, also has pressed the case.
Obama is just kowtowing to those bastions of Muslim sympathizers...the Pentagon and the private sector defense industry.

He announced several months ago that he was creating summer jobs for minority youths.
He didn't ask Congress for that money either. No one in Congress seemed to be too upset over that and it seems they are not too upset over this.

So if Congress doesn't care, why should we ?
