Obama announces $155 million in aid for Syrians
Today, we’re taking another step. I’ve approved an additional $155 million in humanitarian aid for people in Syria and refugees fleeing the violence. Here, I want to speak directly to the people of Syria. This new aid will mean more warm clothing for children and medicine for the elderly; flour and wheat for your families and blankets, boots and stoves for those huddled in damaged buildings. It will mean health care for victims of sexual violence and field hospitals for the wounded. Even as we work to end the violence against you, this aid will help address some of the immediate needs you face each day.

And as we know, no aid has ever been diverted and sold on the black market to fund terrorism ..

The good guys or the bad guys?
At this point, what difference does it make?
Hillary has the all-purpose answer to all questions.

He’s going to spend all the non-existent money he got from the fiscal cliff!!!!!!!!!

I guess we could look at this $155M as 15 trips at 1.6 M for bho getting on AF1 out of dc so he can make a 30 minute speech someplace?

Giving money to a sworn enemy of the united states isn’t treason anymore is it? Because I would love to see someone executed for treason.
