New post on Doctor Bulldog & Ronin |  | Unfreakin' believable! It's commie crap like this which solidifies my resolve to oust this pompous, fascist, muzzie-sucking, elitist impostor---even if it means voting for a libtarded moron like r'Omni!!!: Friday night news dump: Obama bypasses Congress, funds Palestinian Authority
ED MORRISSEY - HotAir.com Isn't it funny what you can find out on Friday evening about what our executive branch does? For instance, Agence France-Presse reported last night that Barack Obama bypassed Congress to send $192 million to the Palestinian Authority, claiming that national security required the US to put money into Mahmoud Abbas' pocket: President Barack Obama has signed a waiver to remove curbs on funding to the Palestinian Authority, declaring the aid to be "important to the security interests of the United States." A $192 million aid package was frozen by the US Congress after the Palestinians moved to gain statehood at the United Nations last September. But in a memo sent to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, published by the White House, the president said it was appropriate to release funds to the authority, which administers the West Bank and Gaza Strip. In signing the waiver, Obama instructed Clinton to inform Congress of the move, on the grounds that "waiving such prohibition is important to the national security interests of the United States." Congress deliberately froze those funds, and not just because of the statehood demand through UNESCO. Hamas, a terrorist organization, reconciled with Fatah and has rejoined the PA, which means we're putting almost $200 million into the hands of a terrorist organization. The language of the Palestinian Accountability Act could not be clearer: "[N]o funds available to any United States Government department or agency … may be obligated or expended with respect to providing funds to the Palestinian Authority." Obama literally waived that statutory language off yesterday afternoon. CLICK HERE to continue reading over at Hot Air. | | | |
