The White House is flatly rejecting calls from House conservatives to halt U.S. aid to Egypt after a slow response from Cairo in rebuking violent attacks on the U.S. Embassy there Tuesday night.
A group of House conservatives, led by freshman Rep. Jeffrey M. Landry, Louisiana Republican, is calling for foreign aid to both Libya and Egypt to be stripped from a six-month federal funding bill up for a vote Thursday.
Egypt is second only to Israel in the amount of assistance it receives from the U.S., an estimated $2 billion a year, but the White House has no plans to curtail its investment there.

What else would have you expected? The Democrats have no balls when Muslims are involved. Oh, that's right, I forgot, their leader is a Muslim.
Cut funding to his Brothers!! You can't be serious,
While the mayhem was going on and the Egyptian embassy was tweeting as was the Muslin Brotherhood the MB was tweeting one thing in english (denoucing the attack on the embassy) and on their arabic twitter account were praising the protesters. The embassy does monitor the arabic twitter account and did call them out on their own embassy twitter account. I imagine these tweets have disappearred but maybe someone has saved and then posted them online somewhere.
Central Appalachia,right here in the USA,has 3 times the national poverty rate.Not since Robert Kennedy reached out to help the desperately poor in that region have they received any significant financial aid.Why the powers that be can think of think of places all over the world to send aid and ignore Appalachia is beyond me.
