Why does Obama feel it is so important to continue giving billions of taxpayer dollars to a country that hates our guts?
Via Washington Secrets:
Americans are watching the political and military crisis in Egypt very closely, feel President Obama has inadequately handled the situation, and want the U.S. to suspend military shipments to the embattled nation, according to a new Rasmussen Reports poll.
The findings amount to a thumbs-down for Obama’s approach to the crisis which spiked while he was vacationing on Martha’s Vineyard last week.
For example, despite breaking from his vacation to give a statement last week on Egypt, just 30 percent said that Obama and his team have responded to the crisis in a good to excellent manner. A much larger 56 percent said that his administration has done a fair to poor job so far, with the “poor” rating the highest of the choices, at 33 percent.
In his statement, the president announced that the U.S would not participate in a planned military exercise with Egypt, but he didn’t cut off aid.
Asked if the United States should continue its military and economic aid to Egypt, just 18 percent said yes, compared to 54 percent who said no.
