Three-quarters of a TRILLION dollars in foreign aid - that's Obama for you

Or, to be precise, over three-quarters of a trillion U.S. tax dollars over thirteen years.

OVER and ABOVE what the U.S. ALREADY doles out for foreign aid.

The "Global Poverty Act", a bill sponsored by presidential candidate Barak Obama, consists of $845 BILLION U.S. tax dollars, over thirteen years, that will be given in foreign aid.

THE U.S. IS ALREADY THE LARGEST CONTRIBUTER TO FOREIGN AID - larger than the rest of the world COMBINED.

I'm with you, Dr. RJP - thank you for your clever and revealing post.

All it takes is a bit of objectivity and desire for "meat" behind the "deceit"; hopefully, Americans will catch on.

I wonder if the relative silence from Muslims reflects a "crossing of the fingers" on their behalf that Obama wins the Presidency.

Something tells me they would overlook his interim "apostacy" and welcome him with open arms.

And Obama would be only too glad to oblige.
