 | Obama just sent $45 Million Tax dollars to Kenya...Does this DipShit Know we are broke?Scotty Starnes | January 29, 2011 at 10:23 PM | Tags: Barack Obama, Kenya, President Kibaki, President Obama, Yes Youth Can, youth empowerment | Categories: Political Issues | URL: http://wp.me/pvnFC-4hX |
We need to scream at our elected officials and tell them to stop sending our hard-earned tax dollars overseas. Yes, we feel bad for the less fortunate in other countries but we have Americans that need help.
Despite this knowledge, Obama is sending $45 million of our tax dollars to Kenya for a "Yes Youth Can" program. Obama's propaganda is expensive.
Sunday Nationreports:
The American government has set aside Sh3.6 billion for its youth empowerment programme in Kenya, according to US ambassador Michael Ranneberger.
The announcement, made in a wide-ranging speech to the American Chamber of Commerce on January 25, indicates the Obama administration is not stepping back from its youth outreach efforts in the country, despite criticism from some politicians.
Mr Ranneberger told the audience that empowering the youth to take part in the political process would stop their exploitation by politicians and enhance Kenya's economic prospects.
"President Obama has a strong interest in developing the leadership skills of young people and last year held his first Young Africa Leaders Forum. He has charged young people to be agents of change and to 'stand up for democracy and transparent government.' Our $45 million (Sh3.6 billion) 'Yes Youth Can' programme will empower hundreds of thousands of youth to participate in the development of their country and expand their peaceful participation in the democratic process."
The youth outreach programme has attracted criticism from politicians including President Kibaki, Prime Minister Raila Odinga and Environment minister John Michuki, who have labelled it an attempt at regime change.
