The president’s new budget has allocated $800 million in aid for the “Arab Spring”. An additional $1.3 billion is proposed to be given to Egypt for a grand total of $2.1 billion. Translation: the United States will be funding the Muslim Brotherhood’s goal to establish a worldwide Caliphate. At what point does the insanity stop?

Obama proposes $800 million in aid for “Arab Spring”
The White House announced plans on Monday to help “Arab Spring” countries swept by revolutions with more than $800 million in economic aid, while maintaining U.S. military aid to Egypt.
In his annual budget message to Congress, President Barack Obama asked that military aid to Egypt be kept at the level of recent years — $1.3 billion — despite a crisis triggered by an Egyptian probe targeting American democracy activists.
The proposals are part of Obama’s budget request for fiscal year 2013, which begins October 1. His requests need the approval of Congress, where some lawmakers want to cut overseas spending to address U.S. budget shortfalls and are particularly angry at Egypt.
Obama proposed $51.6 billion in funding for the U.S. State Department and foreign aid overall, when $8.2 billion in assistance to war zones is included. The “core budget” for the category would increase by 1.6 percent, officials said.
Most of the economic aid for the Arab Spring countries — $770 million — would go to establish a new “Middle East and North Africa Incentive Fund,” the president said in his budget plan.
Analysts said it was difficult to tell how much of the proposal was actually new money.
“As presented it’s very difficult to determine if the Arab spring fund is new wine in new bottles or old wine in new bottles,” said John Norris, a former U.S. foreign aid worker now at the Center for American Progress.
The Middle East and North Africa Incentive fund “will provide incentives for long-term economic, political, and trade reforms to countries in transition — and to countries prepared to make reforms proactively,” the White House budget document said.
The proposal said this approach “expands our bilateral economic support in countries such asTunisia and Yemen, where transitions are already underway.”
WE THE PEOPLE DO NOT WANT OUR MONEY GOING TO Muslim Brotherhood’s AFTER ALL THEY SHOULD USE THEIR OWN…WE THE PEOPLE NEED OUR MONEY RIGHT HER IN AMERICA…..THAT ILLEGAL MUSLIM OBAMA NEEDS TAKEN OUT AND SENT BACK TO AFRICA……………….
How dare him! Now his true colors are shinning bright. If this man is re-elected we will
lose all of our FREEDOM! This is not the first time this has happened. If He is for change then it should start here in America, not to the Muslim Brotherhood, Yemen or North Africa. $800, Million for the Arab Spring, American citizens will be supporting the Muslim Brotherhood, and another $1.3 Billion to Egypt for a total of $2.1 Billion transistion into Countries that hate America. Egypt is in control of Egypt, and support for countries like,Tunisia, and Yemen, where transistions are already underway.
This is against everything that God says, “I will Bless those who bless Israel”
Genesis 12:3. Supporting the Muslim Brotherhood is not Blessing Israel and America will pay for His wrath!
TREASON! IMPEACH HIM!
I find it really hard to believe that anyone could still think of this man as a Christian.
Nothing he’s done since he’s been president shows him to be a Christian, in fact all he does is promote Islam.
All I can say, as I shake my head, is “GOD HELP US!”
God Help Us indeed.
ABO…
Enough already! We need that money spent in America, not on the muslims.
Obama needs to lose his job!
First the government should be a SEPARATION of church and state…yes people can have their beliefs but it being brought into the government is alot of why we have the problems we do in society. the whole issue should really be is why our government find it at all decent to spend that amount of money overseas, for whatever reasons, when it’s not going to boost anything for the american economy, it is money that will just be spent with no productivity from it seen here…it shouldn’t be about their religious ideals, whether they wanted to spend that amount of money in england, france, australia, anywhere but america it wouldn’t be right. Each person can have their own religious ideals but still be tolerant of others beliefs, whatever they maybe and truly until people learn to stop letting religions beliefs lead their agendas then the government well never be fixed, and until people stop voting for people based on their religious ideals absolutely nothing in the government will change….
