We can't have tours of the White House. We're closing air traffic control towers. But....we have 200 mil lying around to give to Jordan. Good job Barry!

LOL..any elected official that leaves the country makes millions in promises before he comes home.

"Sequester" and "debt" are meaningless to our elected officials folks.
Don't you see that yet ?

So true tex. Greece used some of their IMF bailout loan to buy military equipment from Germany.

Honestly..who does Greece need to defend themselves against ? Who would want to invade Greece in the financial state they are in ? I had to LOL when I read about the military equipment that Greece just had to have.

How noble it is that our president is concerned about Syrian refugees fleeing to Jordan and not having food to eat when they get there. $200 million to buy food for them. So in a few weeks/months, we will see tens of thousands of them, 20 people to a tent, covered with flies and starving. Will anyone ask 'what happened to the $200 million?' $199.9 million for administration costs. Everyone in the Jordanian government will need a new Mercedes-Benz to deliver the cans of beans.

Between obama and kerry, that totals pretty close to a billion dollars (maybe a little more than a billion) that they have given to Jordan, Egypt, and a couple other countries over there.
How much more do they plan to give away? Why don't they realize that we can not BUY friends?
Why aren't we buying food and shelter for OUR poor and homeless?
So many questions and NO answers!
