Why is Obama giving $ 400 million dollar stimulus package for terrorists?

Just when you thought that the Obama administration had become about as idiotic as was humanly possible, Obama has set out to prove us all wrong. Considering the massive failure and overwhelming unpopularity of the stimulus package passed in 2008, and the economy that just keeps getting worse, Obama’s come up with a brilliant new plan: give $400 million of our money to Palestine and make Israel loosen blockade restrictions! It’s a stimulus package for terrorists!

The United States will contribute $400 million in development aid to the Palestinian territories and work with Israel to loosen its embargo on Gaza, President Barack Obama said Wednesday.

Obama’s announcement came after White House talks with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas. The money will be used to build housing, schools, water and health care systems in both the Palestinian Authority-controlled West Bank and Gaza, which is ruled by the Palestinian Islamic movement Hamas.

Obama called the situation in Gaza “unsustainable,” and said the United States would work with its European allies, Egypt and Israel to find a “new conceptual framework” for the Israeli blockade of Gaza.

“We agree Israelis have right to prevent arms from coming into Gaza,” Obama said. But he said “new mechanisms” were needed to allow more goods to reach the territory – and he repeated that the long-term solution was a permanent deal creating “a Palestinian state side-by-side with an Israel that is secure.”

Right. Surely this must be the best time to loosen the Gaza blockade, fresh off of the controversy of the Gaza flotilla that was armed to the teeth and filled with terrorists who ambushed and attacked IDF soldiers. Makes perfect sense.

If that idiocrity wasn’t enough for you, there’s also the sheer lunacy of throwing away $400 million to a terrorist state… especially when our economy is doing as badly as it is. Obama doesn’t need to be doing this, if for no other reason than because we cannot freaking afford it. As Exurban Jon puts it,

Let me get this straight. Our economy has cratered. Unemployment is nearly 10 percent. The national debt is expected to exceed our gross national product by next year. And we’re giving $400,000,000 to our mortal enemies in Gaza?

$400,000,000 to the Hamas-led death cult allied with Iran and Syria? $400,000,000 to the people who celebrated the destruction of the twin towers? $400,000,000 to rain thousands more rockets upon Israeli women and children?

The Right, the Left and everyone in between needs to raise hell. This. Cannot. Happen.

    Next Obama will be offering the Mexico drug cartel $ 400 million dollar stimulus package. So the Mexican drug cartels can build housing, schools, water and health care systems .Next human smugglers will get $ 400 million dollar stimulus package. So the human smugglers can build housing, schools, water and health care systems for the routes to sneak into America.Next Obama will give Bin Laden $ 400 million dollar stimulus package. So Bin Laden can build housing,flight training schools, water and health care systems for his injured terrorists and to buy new weapons for them

    Ok so maybe Obama isn't the first to pull this kind of crap I'll admit that but here's a First I dare the bots to disprove.. Early on he was pushing for our TROOPS to start paying for some of their own medical expenses so he could save $500,000 (his numbers not mine) and yes that included our wounded warriors. --- Only after Veterans groups and the general public got wind of this idiotic idea did he scrap the plan! Weeks Later he approved nearly Twice that amount in Aid to the Palestinians! Let that soak in for while.

    This is what Obama meant by "fundamentally transforming our nation". Raul Grijalva, AZ Congressman, will be in Washington tomorrow asking for $300 Million for legalizing ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT INVADERS! Yeah, that's the Congressman that called for boycotts against Arizona, the state that he's SUPPOSED to represent. THERE'S TOO MANY FOXES IN THE HEN HOUSE!

    Wow! So the fact that the US avoided a send Great Depression means nothing to you? The fact that the US has at least stopped hemorrhaging jobs like an undersea oil well means nothing to you?

    The only things wrong with the stimulus was: 1) Not big enough and 2) Too many tax breaks.

    And as for the Gaza, we have done so well keeping people in poverty, haven't we?

    Wonder how many jobs that $400 million could create here in the states.One of the "promises" he made was jobs would be a priority,haven't seen any worth while movement in that area but we have money to give to Palestine.A pattern of "f" you America is showing.Well,it isn't his money so why not give it away.

    Obama sure is generous with our tax dollars isn't he? I think there are plenty of US citizens that could use $400,000,000 don't you?

  • This confirms my suspicions and he will certainly be a one term president.

    Israel is an illegal country without legitimate right to exist. The land was forcibly taken from the Palestinians. Then the new Israelis immigrating from Europe brought with them the lessons they learned at the hands of the Nazis to inflict those same atrocities on the rightful land owners. Every time they respond to rock-throwing with attack helicopters, they lose the ability to claim they are victims of terrorists.

    OK, to you, Palestinians are all terrorists, celebrating the destruction of the twin towers, while firing rockets on Israel all day long. Very nice and open-minded world view.
