Obama: ‘I Stand Up for Foreign Aid’ to Answer ‘Biblical Call’

In a video posted Sept. 10 on the "Catholics for Obama  " page on his campaign website, President Barack Obama says that one of the reasons he supports foreign aid is because he is answering the biblical call “to care for the least of these.”
“When I decide to stand up for foreign aid, it’s not just about strengthening alliances or promoting democratic values, it’s also about the Biblical call to care for the least of these, for the poor for those at the margins of our society,” Obama says on the video.

If I was an Egyptian I would be very offended at this comment.
"for the poor, for those at the margins of our society,"

Billions in aid to the Muslim brotherhood. Borrowed money, debt to be paid by our grandchildren's taxes.
Thanks Mr. President.

there is no biblical call to destroy your own country to "answer the so called biblical" call. these countries have leaders that are keeping the monies for themselves and not helping their own people with ways to earn a living (not handouts)to those who don't want to work. most of the people in the foreign countries want to work but their governments won't provide a way for them to be educated or make a way for them to earn a living.

obama must be retired in november in order for our country to get back on its feet and try to recover from the devastating policies of this president and his administration.

If there is such a thing as Catholics for Obama I am convinced they are a fraud just like he is.

"Aid" going to both Egypt and Libya has always been more of a bribe. It was an understanding between the US, Murbarark and Quaddafi that we'll give you this "aid" if you help us protect not only American interests but Israel and their interests.
The question becomes, since it's not ever been a secret that these new governments are anti American, do we continue with these brides so they somewhat keep the radicals under control or do we stop the aid and then these new governments allow a free for all and terrorist warnings and watches become common place in the US and attacks imminent?

The other problem is both Libya and the Egyptian ruling parties now don't care one way or another if the US gives them aid. Whereas in the past the former regimes worshipped the almighty dollar these new govenments worship the almighty allah.
